PAEMST represents less than .000001% of national budget. Its demise will save American citizens about 1 penny each.“NSF remains committed to supporting the nation’s STEM teachers.” The question is: How will they show it? forbes.com/sites/taliamilgro…
Stand Back; I’m going to try science. The 1st official #nerdytshirtfriday of the 2025-2026 schools year. Definitely not the transition to school that I would have expected/wanted for my 25th year in the classroom, but here we go.
Back to school in three pics.

Those of you who were at #TheMole at @ChemEd2025 heard me talk about the group I went to Morocco with: well, when they heard life through me an unexpected plot twist & I was so so sad, they sent me this. This is what I mean by they became family after less than 2 weeks
ALT A banner titled “Conference Contexts” displays six circular icons, each representing one of the guiding ideas for BCCE 2026. From left to right:
Building and maintaining communities of practice – represented by a network of connected dots.
Centering authentic phenomena – represented by a magnifying glass.
Educating for a sustainable future – represented by a globe with a thermometer.
Engaging in scholarly teaching – represented by a graduation cap.
Fixing systems, not people – represented by a gear.
Integrating technology effectively – represented by a computer chip.
Each icon alternates in color between pink and teal, with bold black text beneath each.
At some point during #ChemEd2025, someone asked me about whiteboard stands. These are the ones that were made for me. Hope this helps. #ITeachChem🥽 #EduSky🍎 #ModChem
