Last year, I received the #NARST Early Career Research Award. It brought me GREAT joy to celebrate @DrTRMorton as this year’s recipient. He’s an activist scholar & deserving of this recognition. The future of science ed is more equitable & just b/c of his contributions #NARST24

Full performance of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman with Luke Combs at the Grammys. Her smile at the beginning is the best.

Meet Dr. Angela Chapman who reshapes STEM with inclusivity. Through the innovative JSTEM program, she redefines STEM learning, fostering connections across diverse educational levels and communities, all for a more inclusive future. joom.ag/0Znd/p26.

Heman Bekele spent the last year developing a bar of soap that could treat skin cancer. It was the winning entry at the annual 3M Young Scientist Challenge, considered one of the top science and engineering competitions for fifth through eighth graders. to.pbs.org/47NPL7L

Day Three of the Teach the Truth Garden in Miami's Overtown preparing to give away thousands of banned books. DeSantis is not the boss of us.

I pulled my car into my parking space and our young dog came prancing up to greet me, looking very proud of herself. I had left her in her crate with the door latched, because she had eaten the cushion on the couch a few months earlier. She was not trusted alone in the house. So why was she outdoors? I looked at the front door which was wide open. Oh sh*t. I called the police and told them I thought my house had been burgled and I was afraid to go in. A squad car arrived very quickly and 2 policemen inspected my house and said it looked like a break-in, but most of the valuables were stacked by the door. My collie-German Shepard puppy had broken out of her crate and had chased the burglar out of the house. With a prompt report, the police put out a bulletin and caught him later that day. We never put her back in the crate again. She was well behaved and hadn’t even run away when outside the house on her own. We put her to sleep this week at the old age of 16. She had a wonderful adventurous life. She peed in 48 states and 5 Canadian provinces. She swam in the Atlantic, Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, all 5 Great Lakes and many lakes, ponds, streams, and mud puddles in between. Farewell, sweet girl.

Good morning! Remember Halloween is almost here! We are a culture. Not a costume! 👊🏾✊🏾👊🏾✊🏾

Our doctoral students are the backbone of our research programs at @utrgv !!! So glad to have a chance to meet with these smart minds in person. The future is looking great for UTRGV!!!

Excited to announce that the 7th Annual Conference will be hosted by @utrgv , in collaboration with the Universidad de Guadalajara and Cinvestav Unidad Monterrey. The conference will allow participants to present in English or Spanish as live interpretation will be available.

The @UTRGV JSTEM Summer Program had a successful symposium, with 23 students researching microplastics' effects on the environment and human health. The focus was on equipping students to solve complex problems in STEM disciplines. Read more, bit.ly/3KrOPgN

Our first regular issue since going open access was set for a July 15th release/publication. It's a great issue: Race shifting, resource extraction, Indigenous paranormal connections, healing, and land grant universities. Due to a server failure, it might be Friday or Monday. 🙃

I don’t know if you realize but we are witnessing several “first time at UTRGV” achievements lately… keep an eye on us; more to come!!!
