"Be curious, not judgmental" - Ted Lasso
(Please also don’t judge me that I attributed this to Ted Lasso. Curiously I cannot find who these words actually belong too).

I asked ChatGPT to explain the central dogma of molecular biology in iambic pentameter and it’s kinda lovely (1/x):
“A code of life, in strands of DNA,
Encodes the secrets of our being's way,
But first, to make a protein, we must say,
The code in DNA must be conveyed.

The ribosome's where the mRNA will bind,
And now translation, protein synthesis, can find,
The code is read, and amino acids lined,
Until the protein is complete in kind.

And thus, the language of DNA we see,
In transcription and translation's poetry,
Iambic pentameter, a symphony,
Of science, art, and life's complexity.”

“…average teacher's salary has stagnated since 1990…that means teachers also earned 23.5% less than comparable college graduates”

Two noteworthy research-based conclusions about the “why” of teaching science.
1. Emphasizing preparation for science-related careers falls far short of meeting the needs of most students.
2. We should focus far more on teaching science for the non-scientist and democratic decision-making.

Today during a genetics lesson, a student discovered he was color blind. The previous day, he was one of the few who suggested that learning biology would never affect him personally. Trying not to be overly smug atm 😆

In the last 25 years, wages for college graduates have risen 28%. Wages for teachers during the same period, only 2%.
We’re calling on states and districts to increase teacher pay. It’s time our teachers saw the support and pay they deserve.
Livable wage = Respect.

How did whales get so big? This would make an absolutely perfect anchoring phenomenon for a NGSS-aligned DNA unit (and I’m thinking it’s gonna show up somewhere in ours this year - stay tuned). 🐋 #NGSS #3Dscience #anchoringphenomena #NGSSphenomena nytimes.com/2023/01/19/scien…
