A total eclipse of my heart this afternoon as the entire Eagle Nation was outside along with our community enjoying the eclipse!! Thank you U.S. National Science Foundation for donating the glasses for our school & to the Glen Haven Elementary PTA for all your support! @Director_OSSWB MCPS

I want to tell a little story about how some parents and the U.S. National Science Foundation pulled a last minute save for kids at my daughter's school today. Our little corner of Maryland was only going to get about 85% coverage during the #SolarEclipse2024. But kids and families were excited /1

If you haven't checked out the fantastic award winning journal Community Science yet you should! It is a great way to share about your community science work with the field and get academic credit

“How many bathrooms have Neanderthals in the tile?” The Reddit post is amazing! So I put together a quick explainer on human fossils from travertine deposits, with some brief guidance on what to do if you find a human fossil in your flooring. johnhawks.net/weblog/how-man…

So grateful for this amazing group of professors who are joining us today and tomorrow at AGU (American Geophysical Union) to codevelop tools for teaching justice centered community science in colleges and universities

This was so fun, rewarding and inspiring to support!
