Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Thinking about submitting a proposal for BCCE next summer (submissions open Aug 1). Something related to chemistry for all? (I teach to untracked 9th grade) Modeling related? Biochem? What's everyone else thinking? #iteachchemistry #chemed 111
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 22/07/2025@theoreticalfun.bsky.social so glad to hear from you at @chemed2025co.bsky.social today. I'm teaching an environmental Microbiology class in HS this year, so this was particularly "just in time" as I think about what to incorporate in my class this year. Thank you! 030
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Seeing @notphlogiston.bsky.social at #chemed2025 reminds me that I should be checking in here more often. I know nothing week be the same as the before times... but if like to reclaim at least a bit of it... 120
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 31/12/2024PTSD is a very real thing and I'm never ging to be done with it, am I? 000
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Today is the 3rd anniversary of my husband's passing. It's complicated. There were good times, but neither of us were emotionally healthy for much of our marriage. I have done a lot of work through therapy. But days like this are still hard to navigate. 020
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Needed a good binge watch. Decided to try out Nobody Wants This. While it was only 10 30-min episodes (so not a long binge), it definitely hit the spot. So glad season 2 is happening... 000
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 16/11/2024It's been awhile since I've checked in over here. Should I be checking in more frequently now? 😂 000
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 06/09/2023This is in the town next to me...a very cool piece of physics history. 030
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 10/08/2023One of my first 9th-grade students just posted a photo of her oldest child's first day of middle school. Monday would be Joey's 18th birthday. I think I might be old. 010
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 29/07/2023This morning I got 20k in. 5k more than last week, and still kept my same pace. Definitely going to meet my time goal. Will you help me meet my fundraising goal? Let's kick cancer to the curb together. mobileacs.org/3qzf9gmobileacs.orgSupport my fundraising for 2023 Bank of America Chicago MarathonI’m supporting the American Cancer Society to honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research. Support me. 020
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 27/07/2023It was already too humid/hot for my planned workout this morning. I still ran intervals, but not at the pace originally scheduled. I'll still be better because of it. #everyrunhasapurpose #chicagomarathontraining 020
Kara @karalu.bsky.social · 22/07/2023In previous marathons, my focus was just to finish. This time I have a time goal (13:40 pace to break 6 hours). I'm definitely on track... #chicagomarathontraining #everyrunhasapurpose 070
