Dear Twitter Scientists, I am a high school biology teacher in southern Wisconsin and I work in a school with a high percentage of students that fall near or below the poverty line. In addition, my classes are diverse.
This year, I am making a strong effort to help my students identify themselves in other scientists this year. Though I can teach my students how to be critical thinkers, I realize not all students will recognize themselves in me. (2/5)
However, I don't want that to get in the way of engaging students in biology. So, I am looking for people of all backgrounds across the world who are willing to be those potential "role models" for my students. I want them to be able to see themselves in someone. (3/5)
Posted slides from my talk for the @ucdavis "2019 ADVANCE Scholar Award Symposium" - talk was about #microbiomes #manels and the people who have inspired me to work on #STEMDiversity slideshare.net/phylogenomics/… #ucdavis #STEMDiversity 1/n
Also made a Wakelet of some of the Tweets from the Symposium - see wakelet.com/wake/2698e152-… #ucdavis #STEMDiversity 2/n
I thought I had recorded my talk using @camtasia but the audio part seems to have failed so I am going to go through my talk here by annotating some of my slides #ucdavis #STEMDiversity 3/n
