Twin Cities Friends:
More details to come (when it's officially announced) but the evening of Wednesday, April 8, I will be leading a magical fundraiser for a beloved Twin Cities nonprofit. Please clear that evening if you want to join in the fun :)

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isnβt just peaceful, itβs INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who wonβt be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols donβt turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I am so proud of my home state of Minnesota and the people in it who are working together to take care of their neighbors.
Iβve been away from BlueSky for a whileβ¦ please recommend local MN accounts that are good to follow for mutual aid and volunteer opportunities.

Help a journalist out? I'm looking to talk to researchers, engineers, students or entrepreneurs who are considering leaving the U.S. because they lost funding or are worried about visas or anything like that. I'm at mimsical.94 on Signal

I was able to keep mine only after I applied for (and received) emerita status. Otherwise access would have gone away after (I think) 6 months.

Congrats to #okgo on their beautiful new album. Also- so grateful for their shoutout to the Playful Learning Lab in the liner notes. (The lab may be closed, but itβs so fun to see these little reminders of all the cool stuff we did in that ~15 year period. )

WATCH: Tommie Educators Knit Custom Hats for Students - Newsroom | University of St. Thomas
Emma Monson β22 asked her fifth-grade class to design winter hats. The students had no idea that she would knit their designs into reality.
The Playful Learning Lab may now be a memory, but the former members are out in the world doing INCREDIBLE things. Check out this amazing hat project done by teacher extraordinaire, and PLL alum, Emma Monson! This project is so cool. news.stthomas.edu/watch-tommie...

I recommend sticking with the book. While that might have been a mistake, it may also have been author intentional. (I finished this book and enjoyed it.)

Absolutely agree. Especially for people with unusual careers.
Related: many people try to answer this question with an answer that seems more linear than their career paths may have been in the moment. Itβs natural to try to form a coherent storyline when looking back.

To be clear, I left on good terms and am happy/proud of what my students and I accomplished. I just realized I was exhausted and a bit burnt out and wanted to leave academia on a metaphorical βhigh note.β

Iβd be curious to see similar data for engineering. (I left my academic position, and closed my lab, after 17 years. Iβm hearing from other women doing similar things in engineering.)

Occasional reminder that thereβs no, βitβs too late, its overβ for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesnβt go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The Playful Learning Lab may be closed, but that doesn't mean the impact it had is over. We have TWO papers that were published this fall that had PLL authors! Both involved the lab's work with Metro Deaf School.
