unlike the lavender variety, this is not haze you'll want to stay in. and it's not making a swift exit either.
High school physics teachers.... this is a REALLY BIG deal! First IN PERSON HS physics teacher camp since 2018. This is one of my absolute favorite events. It's one day. It's cheap. And you learn SO MUCH. sites.google.com/site/physicste… #modphys #edchat #scichat #iteachphysics @AAPTHQ
The amazing kids at my school hosting @yuhline for an assembly. I like teaching kids physics. A lot. But the Students for Democracy club has been the highlight of my week these past 3 years. ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️

I have a pair of 10th graders who are doing an independent study where they are trying to learn about quantum mechanics. I made us a padlet to keep track of resources and notes, and the comments they are leaving on it are A+. #iteachphysics #MTBoS #modphys
part of why institutional masking policies are helpful: everyone doesnt have to be "the bad guy" to protect themselves

Channeling these words by @n_hold: "Our goal should be to bring the pandemic to a substantive end — by promoting justice and actual human health — rather than by bringing it to a merely ideological end by normalizing social murder." blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2022/09/19/pan…
My elder father is experiencing long COVID. He developed an autoimmune disease & it took 1 month for doctors to find out what he had. I don't have the heart to teach under these conditions, not only bc of my father but bc of all the elders, disabled, children in students lives.
The idea that profs are _not allowed_ to require masks remains one of the most alarming aspects of COVID and higher ed. It's a real departure from the "my house, my rules" ethos that used to be the standard for classroom policy, and undermines profs' authority in other contexts.
