An impressive performance by the @WHSPioneerPride band/ orchestra end of school concert the other night. It’s been such an enriching experience for Leo to be part of @WataugaBands at @covecreekschool, @HardinPark_WCS and how at the High School. @WataugaSchools #wearewatauga

4th grade is learning all about the importance of biodiversity using instruments to represent diversity & what happens when things go extinct. They particularly liked fulfilling the “diverse instruments” aspect of the lesson. #HPMusic #WeAreWatauga @HardinPark_WCS

Exciting things happening. One of my students just joined as a @STEPS_STC undergraduate researcher at @appstate and I’m looking forward to following this work. If you haven’t read The Devil’s Element by @danpatrickegan, I highly recommend it! Great fodder for P scicomm.

Check out @danpatrickegan’s new book about the phosphorus balance. Great for both science nerds and the general public. I loved it and can’t wait to share what I leaned in my Env Sci class. The Devil's Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance

Watauga County Schools’ most-enthusiastic readers met last week to test their skills at the district-wide Battle of the Books competition. Teams from Hardin Park School took home the win in both the middle and elementary contests.

Mom asked, "I wonder when cherries bloom in Japan?" So I found 1200 years of data online and made her a plot.
