Please share!!!

Science belongs to the public. That’s why it was so special to share our Community Science Data Talks project on public radio! When climate science and public media are under pressure, I’m reminded that informed, empathetic conversation is a form of civic action.

Science denial is real — but so are tools for teaching #evolution effectively. @galesinatra.bsky.social unpacks both in her #Scopes100 talk, now on YouTube: https://loom.ly/8SIzwSA#evolution#Scopes100@ncse.bsky.social

In this year's season finale, we identify our Most Noteworthy Papers. Congrats to @imogenherrick.bsky.social for being recognized as Laurence's top paper! "How Do These Data Make You Feel?" really made an impact on both of our practices. twopintplc.com/podcast-epis...

Co-authored with @drmuenks.bsky.social, our @insidehighered.com piece "Beyond Behaviorism: Why Motivation Matters" is out! We reject behaviorist principles and argue that understanding the science behind motivation is crucial for supporting student learning. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Join @worldresources.bsky.social on July 1 for a conversation with @mikegrunwald.bsky.social about his new book, We Are Eating the Earth. You will hear about our enormous food-land-climate problem…and the many solutions (and anti-solutions) we have to fix it. RSVP here: www.wri.org/events/2025/...

The White Cliffs of Dover have even been lit up with the stripes!

Climate change and mental health are hugely interrelated on every level from the neurobiological to the social. People's denial, grief and anxiety is standing in the way of action and we can't solve climate change without dealing w/ it. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I produce and co-host an education research podcast that releases new episodes on the 12th of each month. In this XL episode, we talk with @imogenherrick.bsky.social about her work creating data talks. A wonderful conversation about data, climate science, and hope. twopintplc.com/podcast-epis...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

No kings in Kansas City! Awesome! Let’s go! #nokings #kansascity

Oil prices spiked due to more aggression from a country currently committing genocide. Renewable energy prices were unaffected. Do you like entrusting your country's economy to the whims of genocidal maniacs? If not, you have options.

Check out our new book that includes practical ways to engage learners in transdisciplinary learning! news.ku.edu/news/article...

Education is a key climate solution. The @waclimetime.bsky.social teacher educator network has engaged teachers in learning to teach climate over 35k times in 7 years. We need to continue that vital work! We would appreciate your support. www.climetime.org

Resist however YOU can. This was our (myself and one other faculty member) small act today. ✊✊ Small acts matter ❤️

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

DC is in Bloom. ❤️🌸🌸 Beautiful. Thankful that #NARST2025 brought us here right on time ❤️

All you need to know about Twitter

It’s not a federal agency. Institute of Peace is a non-profit. They took over the building. Which 5-1C3 is next?

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/SH.html

Columbia doing all the gross and evil shit it did and still getting fucked might make anybody with both a brain and a spine think, but there’s the problem

SO EXCITED to see this paper come out!! 3 years of work — many shared experiences with students and teachers across moments in time, continents, and cultures. True labor of love ❤️ Thanks to @vea.bsky.social @lamajaber.bsky.social and other reviewers for their guidance and thoughtful feedback.

I joined Christiana Figueres for a special International Women’s Day episode on her well-names podcast, Outrage + Optimism. Listen here!

Thankful for all who contributed time and feedback to this work. Imogen and Ananya are such great collaborators. Here’s a throwback to a late night of revisions where we used Zoom filters to bring some joy to the writing process. Enjoy our piece about CSDTs and emotional pathways during learning.

This is a must read if you are interested in justice oriented climate change education! So proud of these scholars!

Do you know how wrong you have to be for APA to make a statement telling you you're wrong? They're obnoxiously neutral on EVERYTHING.

Ever wondered how engaging students in investigating tree equity impacts their reasoning skills and ability to build hope for their futures? I refer you to my dissertation. Spoiler Alert: It's good for both and for the communities they take action for... but you know "woke" is the problem. 🤦

Check out the 2-page brief on our webinar about Community Science Data Talks (CSDTs)! You can learn more about how to create these for your classroom and hear about the CSDTs we created for Lawrence, KS- Pomfret, CT- and Baltimore, MD in the recorded webinar here: serc.carleton.edu/nc-few/webin...

Clearly maintaining the White House dress code is very important

My new book is now officially out. May this be useful to people getting their bearings in this growing field. Available on Amazon, Barnes and noble web, publisher website, etc

Join us today to discuss the Food, Energy, and Water Nexus through practical K-12 routines that any teacher can bring into their classroom! @dtcampbe.bsky.social DM me and I can send you the link! serc.carleton.edu/nc-few/webin...

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

“Those in the scientific community who enjoy the protections of academic and other freedoms afforded by the US Constitution’s First Amendment should do and say more. Some will march in the streets, some will send messages to Congress, and some will focus on their research, students, and trainees.”

There are 3 special elections happening this spring and with a razor thin margin in the House, winning these would make a huge difference. Please: - Give these candidates a follow - Consider donating - Look to see who you know in these districts and reach out

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Did you know the most powerful force for climate action is LOVE—for our children, their future, and the world they’ll inherit? That's right! Research shows this message moves hearts 12x more than jobs and 2x more than extreme weather. Source: potentialenergycoalition.org/guides-and-r...

Outstanding speech.
