Today marks 11 months since I left my job to start a company that connects academia to K-12. We make Broader Impacts easy (& impactful). Hire us to bring your research to classrooms across the country & help young people understand the questions that matter most to you! (Plz RT).

Anybody interested in birdsong & natural sounds--we're looking for beta testers as well as funding. Who wants an open access bioacoustics web app?! #AOS24.

Calling all birdsong & bioacoustics folks #AOS24 🎶🐦.@GalacticPM is looking for partners to help develop & fund a FREE web app for sound viz & analysis! Get in touch if your lab or department could help make bioacoustics accessible for all. ping @ornithmmoyer @TessaRhinehart

RT @HuWantsToKnow: Reposted with working link! Thank you Silu for letting me know it was broken. 🙏.

Dangit, I pasted the wrong link in there! 😅 Here is the correct unit (HybridZones), though the Bioinspired unit is also super awesome!

🧪🔥 HybridZones: Evolution's testing grounds is out!🐟 🍓 🐦 A free high school unit based on @amberricelab's @NSF -funded work. For this outreach, @GalacticPM made a game that connects natural selection to climate change!.🔗 🎬

RT @mattwilkinsbio: Who out there has flex funds & wants an open-access web tool for sound visualization & analysis?! @GalacticPM seeks fun….

@GalacticPM @DMennill @fuxjagerlab @M_Araya_Salas ☝️Initial funding for this open-access SoundLab from @FrogListener. Plz tag folks who might be interested in funding (& shaping) app development! Let's bring bioacoustics to classes anywhere, from grade 6—grad school! @LaurynBenedict @UMNFroglab @CreanzaLab @xenocanto @DGHaskell.

Who out there has flex funds & wants an open-access web tool for sound visualization & analysis?! @GalacticPM seeks funds (≥$500 toward $6k)–DM me if you can help make this happen! Here's a presentation w deets ping @DMennill @fuxjagerlab @M_Araya_Salas

So excited for this unit! As a scientist who did a lot of descriptive/discovery research, I'm excited for students to see that science doesn't always involve hypotheses or go in a prescriptive sequence. It's often a much more creative and dynamic process.

Question 3: Name the show; name the bird. (This one's super hard out of context). Hint: it's a British show. Surely we've got some birders (or pop culture nerds at #ESA2024)! Guesses @joryweintraub?

Question 2: Name the source; name the bird. Answers coming up. #ESA2024

Quiz time: Hey birders & pop culture nerds, for 2 points can you name: 1) the source of this clip 2) the bird sampled in it? #ESA2024

What if the scientific method wasn't presented as a prescriptive, boring series of boxes in a diagram? .What if it was shown as a creative, choose-your-own-adventure–with communication at its center? .From @galacticPM's nearly completed SciJourneys unit.👉

I remember being excited when Colgate announced a fully recyclable toothpaste tube-not "send it in" like Tom's. Very disappointed but not surprised to learn that it's basically not recycled anywhere 😞 We so badly need a national plastic pollution bill

We worked on the Bioinspired unit for many months w a team of evo biologists, designers, architects, teachers, artists & filmmakers. It's been taught at 7th grade, high school & college levels, & students have been highly engaged! Plz share! #evol2024.

Wish I could be at #Evol2024 this year! For anyone doing evolution outreach or interested in teaching about adaptations through a creative design challenge, check out this video @GalacticPM created w/ @SnellRoodLab! .👏edited by @PhutureDoctors.

Hey #ABS2024 attendees! In 2017 I pivoted out of academia to focus on helping scientists get their research into K-12 classrooms. After 4yrs of teaching middle school, I founded @GalacticPM. If you want help scaling up Broader Impacts, please reach out!.

I know you're dying to know the answer to the Taylor Swift mystery everyone's talking about, so we made a video.

This video supports Lesson 1 of "SciJourneys," a middle school + unit unpacking scientific methods. Two more lessons coming soon!. For @GalacticPM lesson w/ @SciTalker. Sponsored by @IfThenSheCan .

How do we help students ask better Qs? For one thing: model it. Watch 1:59 in our new @GalacticPM vid to see indigenous ethnobotanist @rosedontwalk rattle off 21 Qs from a picture prompt. in 1 take! 👏👏👏 Inspiring! .edited by @PhutureDoctors.
