4-panel comic. (1) [person in front of window, shaped like a trapezoid with a curved top] This weekend, I had to make an oversized screen for a porch window. (2) [person sitting with hands on head surrounded by images of assorted equations and measurements] It involved countless tiny problems, each somehow way harder than it should be. Oblique angles. Curved edges. Noncoplanarity. (3) [person in front of window with screen on it, with building detritus strewn on the ground] ...I solved them all. I measured precisely. I did trigonometry. I made custom parts. And it fit *perfectly.* No gaps, no ripples. (4) [person typing at computer] I know that your foundation normally limits its purview to physics, medicine, peace, chemistry, and literature. However, if you review the attached photos showing how well the screen fits into the...

Oh those greens are lovely.

Gray puppy smiling outside on a dog mat. The bay and other puppies are behind her.

Puppy had her dog class downtown for the first time. She started out overwhelmed but settled in and had fun.

How to establish wildflowers in part to full-shade (part one) With no weeding, watering or ground preparation

Weekend reading on how I’m establishing wildflowers in shade to part shade without any weeding, watering or preparation www.wildway.info/p/how-to-est...

This is so great. Wood sorrel is my fave little plant. I need to try the spore bit w ferns. We have sweet ferns near here but I have been unsuccessful at transplanting them. You gave me lots of ideas.

Reminder It’s okay to get stuck but it’s not okay to give up.

U r worthy of happiness

Chronic pain as a patient and a scientist: what I want you to know What I want pharmacy students to know about my life as a scientist, artist, and patient with chronic pain…

Hey #spoonie/#disabled friends

I'm talking to pharmacy students tomorrow about life with chronic pain, & what it's like being an artist/scientist with chronic illnesses.

Are there things you'd want future pharmacists to know about? LMK.

Our high school was lucky enough to host Jane Goodall two years ago for a talk, discussion and evening event. She was incredible and so inspiring to our students.

He’s so gorgeous

Gray and black puppy smiling leaning against the fridge.

She’s a giant baby. 16 weeks. Persephone

Adorable! I do the same thing - yoga blocks. Also we do scent training now. Gotta keep those dog brains busy (and then tired!).

It starts around 10-12 months. It will be very messy around then.

She’s huge!

She found out that digging in the garden is super fun.

How do we adapt when body parts are severely damaged, or are lost altogether? In her latest book, "Replaceable You," science writer @maryroach.bsky.social explores the amazing past and hopeful future of regenerative medicine. bigpicturescience.org/episodes/spa...

She’s the happiest girl in the world.

Here are my top 10 fall dogs!

example of a "challenge scaffold"

example of reviewing a previous lesson's closing activity

example of more writing to capture thinking

example of whole-class guidance

Four small adjustments I've made so far this year:
📌 embedding "challenge scaffolds"
📌 "interlocking learning" across lessons
📌 more writing as a tool to capture thinking
📌 whole-class guidance --> individual follow-ups

Hi Pip. I love your face.
