If only about 10% of students take up science careers, why do we insist that all students study science? I argue that the payoff is in preparing graduates to be global citizens. mdpi.com/3043-1344/1/1/1
The USA is terminal
It has a nasty case of Trump that can be controlled this November and cured in 2028
But the metastases are in every organ

Hey @Apple , fix this
iPhone 14 Pro, IOS 26.3.1
Ever since upgrading to IOS 26 I have this notification in Settings, but every time I click on it I get this error message
Wifi or cellular, nothing fixes it

Homeward bound from an enormously enjoyable #ASERA55
Organising committee Jared Carpendale, Carrie Swanson and Cathy Buntting did a superb job: every detail was not only taken care of but showed real thoughtfulness
Thanks to the team, and onward to #ASERA56

Day Two of #ASERA55 at Massey University in Auckland
Felicity McClure from Charles Darwin University in Darwin, with a Turkish colleague, surveyed school students to see whether they have gender-based stereotypes in relation to STEM careers
@ASERAeducation
Could this *be* any more obviously photoshopped?
What's going on with Adam Bandt??
Why does he so often side with the Thug?
Surely Greens voters are turned off by this strategy.

Okay, this is a post for the PhD parents🫣
After zooming out (offline) all afternoon (and drive our parents crazy)…
The siblings are just having too much fun catching up @TabethaSpiteri 🫢😬
But honestly, blame the NZ snacks 🍪
They are way too yum (distracting)🫢

Fantastic diagram from Hsiao Sheng-Yi’s very engaging presentation at #ASERA55
DECODE: DEmontration, CO-teaching/CO-learning, DEbriefing
The symbiotic relationship of scientific and critical thinking
Gonna use #ASERA55 for my posts about the ASERA conference over the next couple of days because in 2024 we’re at the 55th annual conference of the Association
I’m a relative newcomer: my first ASERA was ASERA29 in Darwin in 1998 @ASERAeducation
I don’t spend a lot of time on X (nee Twitter) these days, for all those reasons everyone knows, but the 2024 Australasian Science Education Research Association (ASERA) @ASERAeducation conference is happening at Massey University in Auckland this week
I know, I know, “This is not an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure”
But I will, just so all my @ASERAeducation friends and colleagues know not to expect me to… Live-X next year’s conference
Sadly, Elon has killed this platform to death
See you elsewhere
