Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:

1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours

@pks 4 years ago when the 2019 #apbio came out - I didn’t even know what error bars meant. It is amazing how far I have come in my understanding of stats and it’s critical importance in #biology. Now I see #stats everywhere in the curriculum. I am grateful to you and others like @AaronReedy who have taught me so much!

@pks how have I missed theses articles :mastoread:

.@skwinnicki I would add that deadlines come with penalties but it should not affect a students grade. It devalues and confuses #grades. A grade is meant to measure what a student knows and is able to do. Grade penalties or bonuses feel more like compliance

@drmilks happy thanksgiving Kristen!

So the elephant in the room wasn’t actually an elephant after all … it was a Mastodon? Getting on here to get back to the reason I joined Twitter in the first place. To connect with other like minded educators.
