In the smoking ruins of what used to be a fairly useful website to learn about new books, meet fun designers, educators and/or engineers, & publicize good research stands @blprnt with an unexpected bright spot: The Bird World Cup!!!!
Started reading #TheWorldWeMake today by @nkjemisin on @audible_com & A) the language and insight are sooooo sharp & good and B) @rmilesvox is, yet again, AMAZING. I’m only just out of the prologue, but I’m willing to say y’all should go buy this book!
Positives of Twitter:
- met Makers, ChemEs, Apple Distinguished Educators, KEEN folks & other engineering education advocates (& learned good stuff!)
- found great books to read and heard about them direct from their authors.
- had fun ex: #crayonbracket
- saw breaking news
Just to be clear- I’m not *on* the cover, I just have the awesome shirt that makes me literally *look* like the traditional bright orange summer issue!
Ok so is there an official variant of #MaryGoRound with mods with the chapter titles of #TheSpareMan? This must be a thing. Let’s make it a thing! @MaryRobinette
From @robinsonmeyer: Working on climate change is about to transition from "a career choice for dorky optimists to the default career track for many ambitious college students....The opportunity will be too large, the money too persuasive, the problems too intriguing."
This is fun! Leah Wittie stopped by to give me a @BU_ENGR “recognition chip” to thank me for being the person who introduced her to grading rubrics (redacted) years ago! Thanks!
Exciting day, the Capstone Design survey is ready! Do you or a colleague teach this? Fill out the form by Oct 10 to compile data on how ChemE departments teach senior-level design. The results will be shared at AIChE in Nov.
(Pass it on if you know who teaches it in your dept!)
The @aicheeddiv Capstone Design Survey is ready for instructors of capstone design in chemical, biochemical, and biomolecular engineering programs to complete! utulsa.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe… Please respond by Oct. 10 so we can include your response in the report at the Annual Meeting.
Saw a lot of responses from followers saying they would like a pair of #DisneyPlusDay ears, well, here’s your chance!
