Bill Nye the Science Guy was my science teacher. When he came into class we'd all chant, "Bill Bill Bill" but also, "Science Science Science". Then one day I went to class and Bill wasn't there and it turned out he was fired. I found his apartment in a massive monolithic block and we had a heart to heart chat. He broke down into tears saying, "I really liked being your science guy".

As many of you know, I run a program called Skype a Scientist! We match scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, and more for Q&A sessions about science. We ALSO run monthly livestreams with hand-picked scientists on zoom webinar.

Here are the upcoming sessions. All are welcome to attend, and all sessions are free.

RSVP for Shark Scales and Tails here

RSVP for Sea Star Feet here

RSVP for Finding Medicine in Plants here

RSVP for Pokemon here

Also!!! and critically!!! If you want to get matched with a scientist for YOUR classroom, scout troop, library, etc, we would love love love to match you with one of our scientist volunteers. That's what we're here for. Sign up here.

Out-Of-Context Quotes From My Geology Professor

In honor of the end of my finals week, I compiled a bunch of random quotes from my geology professor:

“There’s reality, and then there’s Boulder, Colorado.”

“The Earth slowly loses heat to space, so eventually Earth will solidify. Except by that time, the sun will have engulfed us and we’ll be vaporized, so!”

“In a billion years, the Earth will barely be habitable, but to be honest, I’m not really losing sleep over it.”

“What also floats in water? Jesus… and witches, and very small rocks.”

“My grandma is from Ohio— they don’t have rocks there.”

“But you can’t watch them after 10 p.m. because that’s when aliens go home.”

“So quartz-rich rocks are siliceous, clay-rich rocks are argillaceous, and the Black-Eyed Peas are Fergilicious.”

“I can just see everyone’s faces start glazing over when I get talking about national park bathrooms.”

“Don’t feel bad, I used to wear socks with sandals, too.”

“Anticline points up, syncline points down. You can remember this because anticline looks like an A, and syncline— if you sin, you’re going down.”

“Death doesn’t matter when you have credit card debt.”

“I’m an old schist.”

“See, look, that poor sheep will never be fossilized.”

“I would say the best place to find gold is… Jared’s?”

“Saltating benthos— I always thought that would be a good name for a band. I mean, it is kinda like a rolling stone.”

“WHY are we FRENCH?”

“There’s enough death to go around!”

“This is not a part of my regular curriculum, but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? That stuff works so well!”

“Do you want to see a picture of the moose that chased me this past weekend?”

Bonus: my American literature professor once said “I haven’t really had a near-death experience. If anything, it was the opposite: a near life experience. Y’know, like, I almost had a life.”

Teaching 11 year olds science will never not be fun, especially when the chemicals they're getting excited and taking diligent care over are literally just coloured water.

"sir I got it on my hands will I be OK? 😨" no sorry there's no cure. You'll have to get it amputated. Siskonium is a very hazardous chemical made from tap water, food colouring and your teacher's obsession with DS9. Commiserations

As a science teacher and longtime dino fan, I totally nerded out when I saw this and had to have it! This vial contains a soil sample from the KT Boundary, scientifically known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) Extinction Layer. First recognized by scientists in the 1980s, this layer contains high levels of micro-meteorites and the element iridium, which is extremely rare on Earth but abundant in asteroids. In the early 1990s, a 112 mile-wide crater was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico, solidifying the asteroid extinction theory. In total, 75% of all species on Earth vanished, including the terrestrial and marine dinosaurs. 💥

This sample was collected in Slope County, North Dakota and has three layers. The bottom gray section is from the Cretaceous period, before the extinction of the dinosaurs, while the top brown section is the post-dinosaur Paleogene layer. The dark band in between is the KT Boundary itself.

quick shout out to my eigth grade science teacher who somehow managed to recover and keep his dignity after accidentally saying "volcanic erection" instead of "volcanic eruption" in front of a group of immature 13 year olds

My science teacher plays videogames. I mean, his computer wall paper is of god of war. In class today he played some music for us and it was all undertale music. I’m talking ma dummy fight. I’m talking Death by Glamour. I’m talking megalovania.

He’s a pretty cool science teacher.

I had a flat-earther science teacher who brought in Ellen to prove potato starch wasn't carbon based by putting an apple into a beaker full of Coca Cola.

How I feel promoting my free program to match scientists with classrooms for Q&A sessions

Many teachers have been working in overdrive for months (or years), so I can understand they might not have the energy to proverbially text back, but I still gotta tell 'em about Skype a Scientist. We're a nonprofit science education org that matches teachers and librarians with scientists for free Q&As about science.

In these sessions, you can:

Learn about the scientists' areas of expertise

Show your class what a real lab looks like

Talk about the many ways a career in science can take shape.

A 4th thing I haven't thought of yet

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Pick a category of science that your class would like to talk about

Step 2: Sign up on SkypeAScientist.com

Step 3: Get a match via email

Step 4: Connect with your scientist to discuss your classroom's interests and needs

Step 5: Talk about science in your classroom (on whatever platform you like, it does not have to be Skype).

Chaotic Teacher Quotes

Because I just finished my degree, I compiled a list of some of my favorite things my professors have said this past semester:

“To shower or not to shower, that is the question.”

“My parents were baby boomers, which means they were on drugs and had sex and that’s how I happened.” “I’m not kidding. That’s true.”

“Ok, how does everyone feel about nostrils?”

“I like to remind my wife that she’s older than me. Every year on my birthday I’m like, oh my god, I’m almost as old as you!”

“That’s the best way to learn: forget and then remember. The only better way is to learn it drunk and then learn it sober. …Grad school is a lot of fun.”

“Is Dungeons & Dragons legit as a religious institution? Let’s discuss.”

“Punxsutawney Phil, the little beaver— not a beaver, the, you know, the marmot, HE DIED. I mean, what does that mean for our weather?? If he sees his shadow it’s six more weeks of winter but WHAT IF HE DIES??”

“We can’t have negative time— if it’s negative, you’re dead. Just like the groundhog.”

“Are we ultimately born of divine incest?”

“This whole thing is complex, very convoluted. But so is my sister, and I still love her.”

“You might ask yourself, what do I do with a big chunk of text? In many cases, the first step is to burn it with fire.”

“This is good information for those of you thinking of starting a cult.”

“I drive a stick-shift, you can’t steal my car. If you look at the thing, you wouldn’t want to, but the point is, you CAN’T.” “It’s got nothing, I almost literally have to go out with a lighter and turn on the headlights myself.”

“Do you think we could rewrite The Lord of the Rings in limerick meter? Potentially a good idea for your finals.”

“Does that freak anyone out? If it doesn’t, you might not be paying attention!!!”

“Here we read that Tiamat and Apsu had ‘mixed their waters together’— I guess that’s what the kids call it these days.”

“You know how in America we’re very vulnerable to British accents?”

“If you know what you’re doing, it’ll take about thirty minutes; if you don’t know what you’re doing, maybe forty; and if you really don’t know what you’re doing, it’ll take five.”

“Cockroaches gonna cockroach, everybody with me?”

“Right now I’m being a pain-in-the-ass materialist.” “You feel? Hold the phone.” “Conscience? What do we do with people who don’t have that? Like me.”

“Who here is familiar with the term ‘shitification’?”

“Academia is like a hospital: if you don’t work there, don’t stick around.”

“I always want you all to walk out of this classroom with a little bit more of the weight of despair on your shoulders.” “Are you feeling it?”
