Tuesday of the @scienceathon #DayOfScience and there won't be much posting, as today is a full day of teaching (three 75-minute classes). This semester, I'm teaching multiple sections of a course titled "Earth in the Future: Predicting Climate Change and Its Impacts Over the Next Century." We're currently discussing ecosystems and agriculture, and today's topics will include the Svalbard Seed Vault and Biosphere 2. We'll listen to some short podcasts on each topic and map the narrative to the COMPASS Message Box, which the students are using to design their own podcasts this semester, recording solutions to reversing global warming according to the Project Drawdown sectors. This is my first chance to introduce students to the #scienceathon and to the recently-posted final exam schedule (we're starting Week 8 of the 15-week semester, but who's counting?). #scienceathon #scientistswhoselfie #womeninscience #womeninstem #whatfacultydo
Ending my Monday @scienceathon #DayOfScience by taking a walk around the neighborhood, listening to some groovy tunes, and meeting my husband at his trolley stop (he works in Philadelphia, but we love living in @visitmediapa which is where I work. Fortunately, he can take advantage of public transit to get back/forth to the city). I try to walk to meet him as many days as possible to get away from the computer screen and to exchange stories about how our days went on the walk home. Tonight, we grabbed take-out from a local Thai restaurant, since he has to work late the next two evenings and we won't have the opportunity to eat together again until later in the week. #scienceathon #scientistswhoselfie #womeninscience #womeninstem #worklifebalance
Another @scienceathon #DayOfScience activity for Monday - meeting after meeting after meeting around the two letters that faculty members dread to hear together. Yes, I'm talking about P&T, which stands for promotion and tenure. I've successfully navigated this process, yet I'm frustrated and disappointed that I can count on one hand the number of women in STEM that have reached the rank of full professor outside of the Penn State University Park campus (and Penn State has 24 campuses). So I mentor rising STEM stars and colleagues in all disciplines, and I serve on P&T Committees and complete reviews at all levels to work towards bringing more diverse voices to the ranks. #scienceathon #scientistswhoselfie #womeninscience #womeninstem #whatfacultydo
Monday of my #DayOfScience starts off with finishing up a blog post that I need to wrap up from my experience at the Sound Education Conference last week. I maintain two blogs - one is on geoscience education and educational technology (GeoEd Trek, for AGU), and the other is my Journeys of Dr. G blog, where I share my stories of what it is like to be a scientist, mentor, teacher, etc. It is a deeper dive and reflection into my professional experiences (and an explanation for why I had to cancel classes on students). I'm blogging in the dark, since the motion sensor for the light in my office is nowhere near my desk, and the lights go out which has caused this glaring screen image. But I finished the post! Time for a 9AM meeting! #dayofscience #scienceathon #scientistswhoselfie #womeninscience #womeninstem @americangeophysicalunion @soundeducationfm @scienceathon
More Sunday @scienceathon - Hanging out with my stuffed dog Razzie (named from RSMAS (University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science, where I earned my PhD - the school colors are green and orange; hence, the name!) for another celebration today, the @tasteofsciphl first #SciFailFest Twitter Chat! It's a pretty cool idea - the national Taste of Science Twitter account tweets out questions pertaining to failures in science, with the hashtag #scifailfest. Individual city teams (such as Philadelphia) then respond to these questions with responses collected from their respective communities. I contributed responses to the Philly questions - thrilled to see my answers contribute to the online conversation! #DayForFailures #ScienceTwitter #AcademicTwitter #tasteofsci #tasteofsciPHL #scicomm #SciFailFest #ScienceFailures @tasteofsciPHL @umiamirsmas @tasteofscience #DayOfScience #ScienceAThon #ScientistsWhoSelfie #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM
