Got to see “The Bean” in Chicago with my good friend Brad @bwuetherick.bsky.social yesterday. Great to hangout and catch up, Brad!

Love this graphic from @georgetownuni.bsky.social colleagues Susannah McGowan @susmcgowan.bsky.social , Aranza Obscura, and Julio Orozco focusing on a fascinating course “Mastering the Hidden Curriculum” for first generation students. Very inspiring work! #Symposium2025 #GardnerSymposium

Excited to be at the Gardner Institute Symposium where I helped facilitate the Teaching & Learning Community pre-conference workshop with Mays Imad, @joshuacaulkins.bsky.social , @dewsbury.bsky.social, Stephanie Foote, and Victoria Fields. #Gardner25

Great seeing my good friends Bryan @dewsbury.bsky.social and Susannah @susmcgowan.bsky.social at the #Symposium2025 #GardnerSymposium in Chicago today! Looking forward to catching up!

Flew right past the Arizona Meteor Crater (east of Flagstaff) earlier today on a flight from Phoenix to Denver with an excellent view at 10,000 feet. ☄️ And then past the Four Corners National Monument. #geology #geolife

And here’s one more from earlier today. Our mini-donkeys, Dusty on the left, and Kiko on the right. No, guys, no treats, sorry. But I appreciate the hopeful looks. 🫏🫏 #donkeysofbluesky #blueskydonkeys

Obligatory cat photo (aka palette cleanser). Jasper has spent his day resting, which is apparently an exhausting exercise as he needed an early evening nap from all that resting. #catsofbluesky #blueskycats

Took an amazing hike a few days ago with my brother Mike down Granite Creek here in Chino Valley, AZ. We found some mountain lion prints in the mud (!) and 1.8 billion year old rocks (Del Rio Quartzite)! (Hammer for scale)

My friend & colleague Constanza Bartholomae and I are co-facilitating a spring reading group on Academic Ableism: Disability and Higher Education by Jay Timothy Dolmage. We'd love for our networks to join us for any (or all) of the sessions that you can. Register here: forms.office.com/r/2DLhDSiRyf

I’m very proud of this article, which comes out today! Thank you to my co-authors, Chad Rohrbacher and @joshuacaulkins.bsky.social doi.org/10.3998/tia....

If you are in the #highered biz, please read Mays Imad’s piece in today’s Inside Higher Ed: www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was – in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.7C to 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

Thrilled to announce that *Scarlet Letters*, my book about the problems w/grades & how we can solve them, will be published by Johns Hopkins University Press! The tentative publication date is Sept. 2024. I'm excited to work with Greg Britton & the staff of the press to get this in readers' hands!

New here, glad to find an alternative to #x. Looking forward to reading all the posts!
