Knowing that all of us together are smarter and more powerful than any one of us alone, makes me eager to see what we accomplish on behalf of high-quality teaching & learning of STEM during this coming year, and beyond!

The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching has received $0 funding in the FY26 NSF Budget. Without funding the #PAEMST, which has a 40 year history, will cease to exist. Please like and share this post & write to members of Congress to #SavePAEMST.

While reporting this story on rebuilding in the Santa Monica Mountains after the 2018 Woolsey fire, I was introduced to a post-fire nightmare scenario I had not encountered before. 🧵 https://t.co/rgxWcKLeW7

Sometimes people say that disasters are equalizers, which couldn’t be further from the truth. They are magnifiers of inequality and drivers of gentrification. Wealthier people are able to rebuild (though yes often at great personal cost) or they sell to other wealthy people. 🧵

I have not always agreed 100% with everything Senator McCain has said or done, but I 100% agree with this!

On my way! One hour to the airport. Three hours for international check in & TSA process. Fifteen and a half hours flight time. And July 5th will be skipped, but ICME here I come! (extra classy IAS folio courtesy of PCMI) #ICME15

Since today is 12/31/23, here's a lovely math fact about numbers of the form abcabc

@CAMathCouncil we are excited to see you all soon! Come with a great appetite to learn and socialize, walk on the beaches and rejuvenate in a world of mathematics. YET AGAIN!! #CMCNorth #cmcmath

I can’t wait to join y’all here!!

Couldn’t make it to #NCTMDC23? Still time for the grandest west coast math events! Register and join us for cmc-south, cmc-north, and cmc-central‼️Don’t miss out on the learning, networking, and fun! #cmcmath #mtbos #iteachmath #Mathematics #stem https://t.co/9c6AXdp7hA

Hey #MTBoS #iteachmath Still hoping to hear how you first fell in love with math, &/or tell me about a math task at any level that tickles you each & every time you share it with learners....

Hey #mtvos Talking about math worth falling in love with at an upcoming conference & am curious to hear your math love stories- How/when were you first smitten? What task(s) still give you a thrill?

Who else will be at The Great Minnesota Get-Together this coming Saturday?

About to walk into campus 30 years after I began a career in math education… Still had a night of weird teaching dreams & terrible sleep… Every year is in some ways year one

What's it say about a "teachers" organization when its current slate of candidates for Board of Directors includes exactly one current full-time classroom teacher?!
