Well this certainly filled my cup, a HANDWRITTEN letter from a past student in my mailbox at work today.

#Grateful My Son, Samuel, you are my Reason, always & forever. My Mom, you are the ultimate example of patience and piety. My BFF & Cousin, you have graciously become my crouch. My Koa, your loyalty, trust and love is unmatched. My Students, you are my hope. THANK YOU

Ok Nerd Friends, its time to play name that lab!

Today was Koa's first day on campus as an official therapy dog with Mesa Public Schools Pawsitive Peers program. It was hard too tell who enjoyed it more, Koa or everyone who loved on her.

Labbin'

The Bio-Rad Explorer pGlo kit never disappoints 💚🧫🦠

We love lab, yes we do, we love lab, how 'bout you?

I love when the students become the teachers. The Biotech students explaining microbio and genetic engineering basics to the Criminology classes today.

As a science teacher I constantly speak of data, analysis and conclusion, this carries into my daily life. Today's data, no CMas cards yet. Normally we start receiving cards in November and it's December 13th. Conclusion- the ripples of 2020 are here, we are hurting. Sending love

My students always have great timing. This year the students have a lot on their shoulders and that weighs on us teachers, especially at the end of semester. Got this email from a past student and it made my heart smile.

First day of FINALS

Painting with bacteria. Science + Art ❤

Our art is growing up real nice

It's registration time so we had biology classes visit today. Love watching my students teach others.

My student wanted an explosion, so the color change was slightly anticlimactic. But still one of my favorite labs, coupled with modeling and discussion, such a good way to introduce electrophoresis.

Visited a junior high and saw these beauties were in the hall 💛

Newest rumor/truth a student has said abouy me- "that's the teacher spreading biotech like a cult" 😊

I always love the intense focus students have when loading gels.
