A special hat tip to National Geographic Explorer Tara Roberts for unknowingly helping me structure a tricky 500 words!

First day/last day as #einsteinfellows24 at the Library of Congress with @mathillustrated.bsky.social. My heart is full. More reflection to come. 💛
Hope to see a lot of folks dropping by to say hi at the sessions led by #EinsteinFellows24 at #ISTELIVE25

It's National Science Teaching Association's conference week, and many of the 2024-2025 Albert Einstein Fellows will be there to share their expertise. We'd love to see you at one or more of our sessions and posters.
Will we see you in Philadelphia?

I've been working on a fascinating project at the Library of Congress since this fall, but haven't shared much about it because I wanted to get to a place where I could tell more of the story. Finally, I can. Check out this co-authored blog post! #einsteinfellows24

I'm looking forward to the NSTA National Conference in Philadelphia, PA next week! Join me at one of my sessions, or stop by the Library of Congress booth in the exhibit hall! #NSTA #einsteinfellows24
March 14. 3.14. Pi Day, Albert Einstein’s birthday, and exactly one year from the phone call that set me on this path. Had to commemorate it. Thankful for friends who share their costumes! #einsteinfellows24

One of my goals for this year with #EinsteinFellows24 is to create STEM resources for K-5 teachers. That's why every day this month I am sharing #NationalNutritionMonth facts and challenges for families and teachers.
You can find everything on my website, www.nancypenchev.com/einstein.html
Teacher friends another reason to check out Albert EinsteinFellows is the professional development! Yesterday our #EinsteinFellows24 cohort spent the day with a Nobel Prize winner, former fashion designer, Science communications, and data visualization specialists. I was blow away!
During my year with #einsteinfellows24 I am learning creating/curating resources for the #teachers and students of #NewMexico.
February is #BlackHistoryMonth and National Bird Feeding month. Enjoy and feel free to share!

The process of statistical problem-solving, particularly with respect to the environment, is a cycle of collecting, recording, analyzing, and communicating conclusions about data. Let's think about erosion... #STEM #iTeachMath #data #EinsteinFellows24 @TeachingLC

Justice takes a terrible revenge on those who thrive by privilege. She blinds their eyes until they no longer see human misery. She dulls their hearts until they no longer beat with humanity. - Ida Tarbell

Hey #edtech friends
What is your favorite tool?
#EinsteinFellows24
My tool is @padlet
I use it to collect/curate resources that I share with students, teachers, and families. When I present at conferences, I share a Padlet to provide resources and encourage sharing resources!

As I’ve mentioned a few times 😜, my experience as an Einstein fellow at the Library of Congress has been life-changing for many reasons. One significant one is my mentor, Lee Ann. She’s on stage tonight at #NCTE24 giving a prime time keynote! #EinsteinFellows24
@mathillustrated and I presented about our #einsteinfellows24 experiences (so far) at the Teaching with Primary Sources consortium meeting today in Boston. Met great people doing interesting work around the country! Heading to bed feeling so fortunate for the life-changing experiences I’m having.
As one of the #EinsteinFellows24 I get to experience so many amazing things in DC and beyond! Here is my latest update!
