Excited for the Climate Education in Action event today at @amnh.org and exploring in the meantime! @ncse.bsky.social #climateweek #everyclassroomisaclimateclassroom

Teachers may not have caused the lack of public trust in science (not the only institution we've lost faith in) but unless we do a better job teaching kids to interpret scientific information to make good decisions, the problem will get worse not better. Nice read from @evophd.bsky.social #edusky

This is a great opportunity for science faculty, science, education, faculty, and museum, educators to engage in a collaborative research and outreach community! Deadline is mid September!

Are you a science communicator? NCSE is co-sponsoring Galactic Polymath's (@galacticpolymath.com) #MySciJourney challenge. Details: www.galacticpolymath.com/blog/my-scij... #EduSky #SciComm #EduSci #iteachbio #defendscience ⬇️

I always feel so inspired listening to @evophd.bsky.social's sermon-vibe talks about science education. Want to make a real difference in your community? *Talk to teachers.* Talk to elem teachers especially. Be a resource. Don't treat them as unqualified in science. #Evol2025

ICYMI: Session II: Modern Challenges to #Teaching #Evolution, is now on our YouTube playlist from the Scopes "Monkey" Trial Centennial Symposium >> https://loom.ly/4IBdeAk#Teaching#Evolution#Scopes100 @ncse.bsky.social @evophd.bsky.social

Big week here! We've now got the *FOURTH* full video online from our Scopes "Monkey" Trial Centennial Symposium! Check out @evophd.bsky.social's talk here: https://loom.ly/3xlqSxk #Evolution #Scopes100 @ncse.bsky.social

Congratulations to IBES Director @kimcobb.bsky.social, one of @ncse.bsky.social's newest Friend of the Planet awardees! "The new Friends of the Planet have tirelessly promoted the cause of climate change education...where it is sorely needed," said NCSE Executive Director @evophd.bsky.social.

Announcing our 2025 Friend of Darwin and Friend of the Planet award recipients! These awards are presented annually to a select few whose efforts to support NCSE and advance its goal of defending the teaching of evolution and climate science have been truly outstanding. ncse.ngo/friend-darwi...

#OnThisDay in 1856, Charles Darwin noted in his journal, "began...writing species sketch." This "sketch" would form the base of his book On the Origin of Species. 🏺 🧪

Natalia Reagan is going live with the National Center for Science Education's director, Dr. Amanda Townley, in 8 hours, at 2:15PM CDT, 7:15PM UTC. Twitter @natalia13reagan @EvoPhD Bluesky @nataliareagan.bsky.social @evophd.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live...

So excited to speak with my good friend Natalia about the work of @ncse.bsky.social fighting for science education! Join us this week!

Calling all Iowa friends. Tomorrow is the last heading for science ed standards to push back on the removal of concepts tied to climate change and other missing pieces. Please attend and speak up for #scienceed if you need help, let me know!

What do teachers want and need to know about teaching climate change? Episode 6 of Safeguarding Sound Science is now available wherever you listen to your podcasts. ncse.ngo/safeguarding... #SciencePodcast #EduSky #edchat

Science historian and Friend of the Planet recipient Naomi Oreskes (@naomioreskes.bsky.social) discusses the history of today’s climate debate and ways in which we can draw on the past to fight the fossil fuel industry's ongoing campaign of disinformation. #FightDisinformation

When political ideology interferes with scientific research, American innovation and progress crumbles. A paper on evolution that was planned for a special edition of a Royal Society journal was withdrawn after authors feared potential political retaliation could lead to deportation. #ScienceSky

Happy Earth Day from NCSE!🌎 Denialism continues to be a major roadblock when it comes to climate action. In episode 6 of NCSE's podcast Safeguarding Sound Science, Amanda Townley shares guidance on how to talk to people who don't want to hear it. Her advice? "Radical empathy."

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights: 1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

How many times do we need to repeat this?! "Intelligent design" is NOT science. ncse.ngo/north-dakota... #KeepDogmaOut #EdPolicy #SciEd

We are devastated to report that NABT President-Elect Lindsey (Carter) Fields was aboard the AA Airlines 5342. This is a tremendous loss. Please keep Lindsey, the other victims, and their families in your hearts. We also ask that you respect the privacy of her loved ones at this time.

Please share far and wide! @ncse.bsky.social is hosting Montana Science teachers for a free climate science PD in a few weeks! K-12 teachers invited!

The world has changed before and, when it did, it wasn’t because a president, a prime minister, a CEO or a celebrity decided it had to. It began when ordinary people – people of no particular power, wealth, or fame – decided that the world could and should be different.

Happy Kitzmas! ncse.ngo/remembering-... Today we share with you an old Kitzmas time favorite, a poem by Glenn Branch and Josh Rosenau. And yes, we're definitely sharing the whole thing here. Enjoy! @glennbranch.bsky.social #Kitzmas #HappyHolidays #Festive #SavingScience (1/20)

We have a lot of work to do. #scientificliteracy is a critical trait. Regardless of all beliefs, experiences, and leanings, we need all people to have a scientific worldview. We are committed to the fight for #scienceliteracy. Are you?

Congrats to Dr. Briana Pobiner on receiving the @nabtbio.bsky.social Evolution Education Award!

The madness begins! NCSE's Blake Touchet and Jeff Grant and Katie Hinde (founder of March Mammal Madness - follow her @mammalssuck.bsky.social), are at the @nabt_news conference right now facilitating our annual Evolution Symposium. #teachevolution #nabt #MMM #scied #ngsschat @mmmletsgo.bsky.social

I can not express how excited I am for tomorrow's evolution session with @ncse.bsky.social at #NABT!! Will there be swag? Will there be hilarity? Will there be excellent curricular materials?!? YOU KNOW IT!

Full house at our #NABT session on #ScienceLiteracy! Check out our new set of resources and lessons called DataWISE designed to help students develop skills in critical analysis - ncse.ngo/datawise #ngss #scied #misinformation #dataliteracy

It always feels good to come home to NABT. I have missed seeing so many people and my spirit needed this recharge. We have much work to do. #nabt2024

I just got back from a conference, and let me tell you what I learned about moving forward in these United States: We can't let them take our joy, and they will not take away science. The first priority is caring for one another. Building and growing equitable communities is winning.
