Excited to be able to facilitate an #openpedagogy community of practice at my college, with our first meeting next week. I can hardly wait to see what my colleagues come up with.

Come work with me at MJC - it's a great place to work! I'd also be happy to answer any questions about this chemistry position (please pass along to the cool chemists who love to teach) yosemite.peopleadmin.com/postings/5814

In addition to chemistry, my college is hiring for a wide range of positions. Pass along to those who love to teach and want to learn how to keep improving. yosemite.peopleadmin.com/postings/searc…

If you're in the market for Girl Scout cookies, contact me, and I'll help connect you with my daughter who is selling them. There are options for direct delivery or girl delivery (local only).

These four Cs also apply to why to go to chemistry class. Videos only take you so far, without interaction. Some students can learn that way, but it's not ideal.

I love using #OER for my books. A student emailed me 30 minutes ago about a broken link, and I've already fixed it and brought it live.

Visited a treasure trove of a bookstore this past weekend in Jackson, CA, along with other sites of interest. It was delightful just wandering through the maze of shelves.

Women in chemistry history.

I got tenure today.

Working on my syllabus for fall and realized I'm running a stoichiometry lab on mole day - perfect! I'll have to prepare a mole of jokes...

Happy Mole Day, everyone!

Going to keep promoting OER and LibreText!

Seeing this at this point of the semester feels good...

New article out about our OER efforts, and looking forward to having chemistry as a ZTC degree: modbee.com/news/local/edu…

Looking forward to MJC pride education conference today!

I'm excited to be the new OER/ZTC Faculty Coordinator for Modesto Junior College!

An empty Canvas to do list feels so good, even though I know it'll be full again tomorrow...

This sounds so interesting, and I wish I could attend! Just wanted to share for those who are interested in this work, but hadn't heard about the event yet:

I made a 3 dimensional periodic table, and it turned out great. There's some aspects I'd change, if doing it again, but overall, it seems a good visual.

I see this nuance when so many express surprise that my 9-year old daughter wants to be an engineer, but less so about her liking math. She's started to notice, too, but has thankfully inherited my stubbornness. It's unfortunate that so many are discouraged from these fields.
