Many thanks to @KateMcNeill6 and @reiserbrianj for their support as I thought about these ideas and to @OpenSciEd for hosting PD with some awesome teachers and cool materials that I studied here.

It's publication day in @SciEdJournal for my first solo-authored article! Proud of this one. I define and investigate "student hat" in teacher PD and find that it can help teachers to feel safe to be wrong and develop epistemic empathy for their students.

Might as well make it Twitter (X?) official. I’ve taken a position as Clinical Assistant Professor of Science Education in the @nyusteinhardt @NYUteach teacher residency program. Im excited to work with new science teachers across NYC and the east coast!

Honored that an article of mine received the @NARSTorg @NSTA Research Worth Reading Award and excited to talk about it at the NARST conference in a couple of weeks!.

I grew up in the sunset district of San Francisco. I love the tranquility, chill, and beauty of fog in my bones. This piece from @NYTimes made me long for foggy summer days running through ⁦@GoldenGatePark⁩. You’re the best, ⁦@KarlTheFog⁩

Spent this weekend celebrating earning my PhD. Thanks in particular to @KateMcNeill6 for being the best advisor out there. Looking forward to continuing to work on @OpenSciEd implementation in MA as a postdoc with @BosCollegeOEI next year.

A trio of @KateMcNeill6’s former students reuniting at #NARST2022 today. So fun to see people in person again!

Celebrating being #PhDone after a successful defense! Thank you to @KateMcNeill6, Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Laura O’Dwyer, and @reiserbrianj for being the best committee.

Now that I think about it, we should do this for the whole abstract! So clear!#AcademicTwitter #writingtips . At the beginning of the paper, the study is justified. Relevant research is reviewed and questions are asked. Data are presented and analyzed. Implications are discussed.

Dear academics, .Please stop using the sentence "implications for x are discussed" in your abstracts. Summarize the implications! That's what the abstract is for! .Love, .A doc student desperately trying to finish his dissertation.

For those interested in my summary, I made a thread about it here when it came out in early view:.

Hey look everyone! An article I wrote with Kevin Cherbow and @KateMcNeill6 is out in this month’s edition of @JRSTpub! I’m proud of this work on discussion types as a framework to look at how to support collective sensemaking.

🎉 Publication alert! @KateMcNeill6 @RLowenhaupt.

Y'all, my name is on the cover of a book. 🤩 The last 7 days have been a pretty good week.

A personal announcement. 👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻🏳️‍🌈

As an SF native, I feel very conflicted about this. On the one hand, amazing that my hometown has done such great work to protect the populace from a deadly disease and allow students to remain in school buildings. On the other hand, *shudder* don't call it San Fran.
