Hey teaching nerds! Don't miss this seminar we are hosting Dec. 10. from Dr. Rochelle Tractenberg.
"Teaching, not just as the delivery of facts but as a specialized form of communication that can actually change how people think."

Incredible talk from @datarescueproject.org & @kthlibrary.bsky.social on preservation of public data through conflict, war, and chaos.
Did you know they did a #citizenscience project to photograph interpretive signs across U.S. national parks, preserving an archive of this threatened knowledge?
Great (& very international!) workshop today by the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES) on teaching responsible entrepreneurship! Led by Gustav Hägg of @mau.se , we explored tools for problematizing ethical dilemmas and discussed the ethical responsibility of teachers.
Really appreciated how @sethf.bsky.social described using AI in the evolution class that we co- teach: “ it’s like paying for a gym membership and then using a forklift to raise and lower your weights.”
Today in the teaching journal club, we read this paper on adding cognitive and metacognitive prompts to online, asynchronous lectures!

Our takeaway was to use prompts and see how it works in bioinformatics lessons :)

A cartoon titled ‘The Life of a Scientist’. (The life is depicted as a set of steps, three up then three down with a character on each) Baby: Such a mysterious world! Child: I must search for answers Young adult: Each answer leads me to more questions Middle age: ... At least I've got lots of questions Old age: Ok, I guess questions are my thing now From grave: Such a mysterious world!

hello! I'm happy to see many familiar faces on bluesky! :)
I haven't always been a penguin, I've also been at @usask.ca / WCVM / & as a lab tech, at MPI-Marburg / @stockholm-uni.bsky.social / growing Caulobacter, at @ki.se / as a virology posdoc--& now back at @scilifelab.se in uncharted territory!
🌍🦠 World Microbiome Day shout-out: we’ve just unveiled the Microbiota Vault—a planetary backup for microbial diversity. Built on equitable, One Health values & linked to the new IUCN SSC Microbiomes. Read our Nature Comms piece: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

What does belonging in STEM look like – and who gets to decide? This question sparked Code Couture: Breaking the STEM Dress Code, a visual arts project that explores how gender, appearance, and clothing intersect with perceptions of credibility and inclusion in science and tech. 🧪
