Today is Cycle for Science’s 5TH BIRTHDAY!!!!! 🎂🥳🖐High fives all around. 5 years ago @elizabeth_case & @rachelectron launched this crowdfunder video, raising over $7k to teach kids science across the US using mini 3D-printed solar-powered bicycles youtube.com/watch?v=EMUYyoQU…

highlights from today's @SkypeScientist 📺 show:
☣️"what’s the most toxic chemical you ever made?"
🎩"energy is lost as hat! I mean heat!"
👩🔬6th graders explaining to ME why #TransparentConductors are crucial for #solarcells! 😍😭😎

Storytime: Cases rise. Lab reopens anyway. My postdoc friend's boss pressures her to go back. A week later she gets COVID.
He literally sacrificed her for his research.
SCIENTIST PIS, THIS IS NOT OK. STOP FORCING US BACK INTO LAB. STOP VALUING PRODUCTIVITY OVER HUMAN LIVES.
Our co-founder and resident glaciology expert, @LamontEarth researcher @elizabeth_case, passed her PhD qualifying exam yesterday! Congrats to Liz on pedaling through this important milestone!!! 🥳🎊🚵♀️

My 1st #solarcell paper is out in @ACS_AEM @ACS_AMI!
A haiku 4 u:
🌞
new PV contact
works well with CdTe despite
funky interface!
🤪
Ventured out of my comfort zone & learned a ton working w/ @NREL's #CdTe group, @AndriyZakutayev & @KPatBerkeley

Welcome Professor @MMoralesMasis and her research group @m3lab_ (from @UTwente) to the twitterverse!!
Here's a highlight reel of @cycleforscience-ing and solar cell making w/ Monica (& @SaiveResearch & Lennart Bastian) in the Netherlands during the pre-quarantine era
🚴♀️🚴♀️👩🔬👩🔬
Our co-founder @rachelectron just participated in a @TEDx from home symposium. Anybody on #AcademicTwitter want to help us put on another? Theme ideas: #STEMed during #COVID19, teaching #renewables and #climate, #sustainability #research for 2030?
#PhDchat #TEDatHome #scicomm
Had a blast sharing my #solarmaterials research at a #TEDatHome 2030 symposium on 4/18, thanks @GTravish @mara_Simmons & Topanga for organizing! #sciencetwitter, let's build community by planning our own @TEDTalks/@TEDx? Who's in? Here's me putting the zoom in my zoom talk 😝
Our very own co-founder @elizabeth_case is giving a DIY glacier goo lesson tomorrow! Tune in for some #ScienceAtHome
April 15, 2pm: Let’s get goopy with glacier goo with @Elizabeth_Case for an #EILIVE K12 session as she shows us how glaciers flow. Follow along and make your own goo!
RSVP here: eventbrite.com/e/earth-insti…
Recipe here: blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2020/0…
Target audience: Grades 5-8 students.

Alright scientists, this is about to get real.
We're about to open Skype a Scientist matching to families at home.
We'll likely need a lot more of you signed up.
Willing to talk science w/ a socially distancing family?

#SCIENTISTS! The @WhiteHouse has the nerve to ban science & health experts from coronavirus discussions... Sign @UCSUSA's petition to demand that our leaders make decisions in the public interest, based on up-to-date science––especially during a #pandemic: secure.ucsusa.org/onlineacti…
check out sci-clist @rachelectron's blog about learning from failure in science, with a nod to our Cycle for Science Netherlands trip: thinkswiss.org/testimonials/
#PhDchat #WomenInSTEM #ThinkSwiss #CycleOfScience
A Swiss Science Soirée & the Fine Art of Frolicking with Failure––my @ThinkSwiss blog thinkswiss.org/testimonials/
TLDR: Embracing failure as a tool for growth is not talked about enough in science. Falling down is inevitable & provides a chance to get back up, realign, & start fresh
2019:
8. Sept 13—at age 4.5, we go “global” & get our 1st big-kid grant! (thanks @theAGU)
9. Sept 15-21—we cross the Netherlands w/ Prof. Monica Morales Masis, Prof. @SaiveResearch, Lennart Bastian, & @rachelectron
10. Oct 3-7—@elizabeth_case zips off on a solo C4S though NY
2016-2018:
5. Oct 2016—we’re part of SHIFT’s Emerging Leaders
6. Mar 25-31, 2017—at age 2, @rachelectron voyages thru CA with @johanna_heyer & @kellymjiang to teach about solar, climate, & air quality
7. 2018 — at age 3, we’re out on the town on day-trips!
2015 (age one):
1. Feb 17—we’re born! 🐣 (to the internet)
2. Apr 17 —@elizabeth_case & @rachelectron leave SF at the ripe ol’ age of 3 months
3. May 26—cross the Continental Divide & met a GRIZZLY BEAR!!
4. July 14—ARRIVE IN NYC after >3,500 miles, 10 schools, & aging 2x

Twitterverse! My #STEMed org @cycleforscience is working towards that shiny non-profit status, but in the meantime we're looking for a related 501c3 to partner with as we grow this year. Please let me & co-founder @elizabeth_case know if you have recs & help us spread the word!
