It was super fun and enlightening to riff with @naturesarchive.bsky.social on the perils and promiseโ€”but especially the promiseโ€”of #scicomm that embraces and celebrates the complexity of nature rather than suppressing it. Special thanks to @mrwizardgi.bsky.social for connecting us! ๐Ÿค—

I'm excited to share that my story is featured in this week's edition of Science Magazine! Being able to do my research with my Tribe and in my homelands has been so impactful and meaningful personally and for my career. And it's important for other young Indigenous researches to know it's possible!

This flyer advertises a webinar called "Broader Impacts, Now More Than Ever: Lessons from Funsize Physics," to be held Wednesday, May 21, 3-4pm CDT. A comic-style image depicts a woman with purple hair, blue lipstick, wearing an orange shirt that reads "Funsize Physics." She is looking at her phone with an expression of awe, as physics images flow from her head.

It's more important than ever for those who know science bestโ€”researchers themselvesโ€”to communicate with the public about how & why it matters. Learn how to more effectively advance & advocate for the societal value of your work: go.unl.edu/may-2025-funsize-webinar

Mini-Unit: SciJourneys Help students sharpen their skills of inquiry and critical thinking and see that science is all around them! This student-centered, active learning unit helps students build resilience and growth mind...

That vid is from our SciJourneys unit for grades 6+. From a 9th grader in Nashville:

"I loved practicing how to ask & respond to Qs...This lesson gave me a much better understanding of how science works"
