Learned about Desmos from our #wundergrads and now I'm building new-calculus lab materials in it? Hopefully this will be part of a successful bridge from manual calculations --> Google Sheets --> visualizing in Desmos --> coding in R! #LetsActuallyTeachThemCalculus #figaday 4.106/n #year4

Swimming in ancient seas this afternoon with my paleo class here in Central New York and the students found some jaw-droppingly cool fossils, including a sea star! #Devonian #Wundergrads
Time out from data analysis / talk prep to *hopefully* fix something for one of our #wundergrads. #figaday 4.037/n #year4
The last time I wrote a proposal on this work, *multiple* reviewers said undergraduates couldn't handle running these experiments. Our #wundergrads have been getting extra love from their #fueledbyspite PI ever since. #figaday 4.021/n #year4
So proud of our #wundergrads and our whole student community in EEMB for a wonderful Undergraduate Research Symposium this year! #figaday 3.331/n #year3
World might be on fire but we're still gonna train new scientists. #wundergrads #figaday 3.317/n #year3
Soil water collection during finals week with these two #wundergrads! The regen ag side of the field is alive, the conventional ag side...less so!
But more importantly, this was a real team effort that involved several stellar #wundergrads in our lab: Amelie* and Gina on the FlowCam; Jonatan* coaching me through Python programming. Plus Andreas's lab hands, Lucas on the confocal, & Gabe designing algorithms. *Their first peer-reviewed papers!
Screenshot of a text message from a former student : Made it down to Antarctica, it's absolutely gorgeous and a lot of good/interesting people. Went to a lecture last night by the team that is doing the ice coring down here, had me thinking back to learning about those records in intro to climate change (OP's class) There is a photo of a helicopter on a wide expanse of ice with the sun bright and high in the sky
What professor dreams are made of: messages from former #wundergrads living their best science lives 🩵🩵🩵
My lab group collected these samples in 2018 with support from NSF & NASEM's Gulf Research Program. It was the 1st field season supported by my CAREER grant & it was a dream come true to do this work alongside such curious, engaged, & positive undergraduate research students. #wundergrads
Thank goodness the #wundergrads are smarter, and better at scientific illustration, than me. #figaday 3.094/n #year3
Immensely proud of the trio of #wundergrads fledging today, who perfectly represent the breadth of our research interests. I'm so grateful our lab has been a small part of their college journey. #figaday 3.032/n #year3

Bittersweet last meeting with the full "Ecology Research Team" crew of #wundergrads I've worked with during the last 2 semesters (2 are graduating 🎉😭)! 2 teams presented posters at an on campus research symposium & 2 teams will share their preliminary results at #2024SFS - such a fun collaboration!👩🔬
Love seeing my former #wundergrads shine. Great story about Arielle Link's PhD research #proudmamabear #fire #nitrogen #ecosystems #disturbance ⚒️🌱🌲🔥🧪
