PSA : Spotify has a playlist of Walmart's in store music. No more spending extra time at the store just to keep listening to those bangers.

I wrote this NASA page about wildfires and climate change, and I'm so excited it's finally live. It's a tireless effort to get big pages published at NASA - as it should be! How long will it remain up? Who knows. Check it out while you still can. 🧪 #climatesky science.nasa.gov/wildfires-an...

Conversation during *every* #NFL game I watch: Anyone else in the room: "Wow, I wonder what the temperature is there?" Would be great if networks would post the weather conditions on/near the score bar.

In an alternate universe, Senate Republicans would be rejecting RFK, Jr outright, on principle. Here on Earth, we at least need Senate Democrats to hold the line and make clear that an anti-vax, anti-science conspiracist is not fit to run federal health programs. www.cbsnews.com/boston/video...

I would just like to applaud all of the creativity I've seen in college football and the #NFL this season. People may hate on the "trick plays", but I appreciate the novel approaches I've seen to gain yards. 👏👏 Let's go #FightingIrish

For any #NFL friends...why didn't the Chargers just kneel at the end of the game last night?

I've been a physics educator for 15-ish years, and I *still* struggle to spell "buoyant." Literally every time: *spells slowly* "wait...is that right?" Anyone else have a word in their field that they second-guess themselves on???

One of the central jobs of everyone who works in education but is not a classroom teacher should be ensuring classroom teachers have enough (time, energy, knowledge, training, resources). If you nurture and value teachers, you nurture and value the children in front of them.

Marilyn Vos Savant wrote about this in 1990 and was highly criticized. Later, MIT ran computer simulations confirming her answer, leading some of her critics (academic PhD folks) to apologize. She blames the sit-n-get nature of education for *why* so many fail to properly think thru the solution

Hey friends! Join me in Utah this summer for a modeling workshop in physics! Super excited to co-lead this with Kyle Dittmer. And if you're a chem person, Scott Milam will be there for chemistry. Check the link for more info! www.eweblife.com/prm/AMTA/cal...

Someone told me this today, and it was powerful, so I thought I would share in case anyone else needs to hear this too: "Don't let your areas for growth cause you to disqualify yourself for something you are highly capable of. Lean into it."

Me, in the airport for a 2 hour layover: "Before coffee, let's find our gate" It's like I don't trust that it actually exists 😂

4. The phrase "Community helps people persist," which crystalizes a lot I was thinking about. Thanks to @elissadunnlevy.bsky.social for phrasing this with the exact right four words.

6. Use places like this for feedback. Feel free to post what is a work in progress or something that doesn't work at all. We get better not just from unqualified success but from showing our work. Thanks @treddtaylor.bsky.social @barnettdreyfuss.bsky.social
