Going back a week from Saturday night, I've collected ~7400 #sciwri16 tweets using the Twitter API; 2875 from yesterday (Sunday).
Inspired in Scotland reading #sciwri16 tweets. Wish I was there. Next time
Glad to see old friends and make new friends at #sciwri16. Looking forward to @WCSJ next year!

I had a great time at my first #sciwri16 conference! It was really inspirational. Plus so many new friends! See y'all next year! 👋🏾
About to head to Monday sessions of #sciwri16 & meet more science writerly people & hear more science talks.
At 9:30 in the Iberian, my friend @LizardMichele is giving the #lizardsex talk. #sciwri16
Important news for tomorrow's early departures from #sciwri16: the airport Starbucks IS open by 5 a.m.
Tables! Thank you, #sciwri16.
There's no better way to start a morning than with #dinosecrets, right? #sciwri16
Reading tweets from #sciwri16 at airport. Love this! https://t.co/T4lk0ebeRs

Really excited for the 'dino' talk at #sciwri16
@maggiekb1 introducing Dr. Julia Clarke of UT Austin #dinosecrers #sciwri16 going to hear about dino-> bird evolutionary transitions
So excited to hear from a Homboldt winner!! #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Clarke has just received a Humboldt Award, which is a big deal in paleontology #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Julia Clarke on The Secret Life of Dinosaurs. #sciwri16
I have to say, if we'd been talking about dinosaurs all election I would have followed much more eagerly. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke is starting off with "The secret lives of women scientists", since cultural sexism is in the spotlight #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke is starting by talking about The Secret Lives of Female Scientists. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Opens with a prelude on "The Secret Life of Women Scientists" #sciwri16
Clarke Starts w/ "the secret lives of women scientists" ahead of #dinosecrets remarks #sciwri16
Clarke describes NYT photo spread. 15 pics, only 1 of a woman, and only reflected in her former advisor's sunglasses. #finosecrets #sciwri16
Picture of Clarke in NYT story is her reflection in a male colleague's sunglasses. Women were 1/4 of team, no photos. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
"Your zip code can be more important than your genetic code." socioeconomics and environmental health problems #gardenroots #sciwri16
Going to start my morning off well with a talk on #citizenscience and environmental justice. #sciwri16
Clarke: go beyond good quote & represent research roles accurately. #sciwri16
Clarke: On expedition to Gobi desert, female scientist shot was reflection in male member's sunglasses. #sciwri16
Julia Clarke says "represent female authors and foreign accurately." Whether in quotes or visually. #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Clarke wants us to prioritize representing research roles accurate over using the good quote. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Good advice: ask about the make-up of the whole team, to ID women/non-white/foreign contributors #dinosecrets #sciwri16
With 1/4 Americans living w/in 3 mi. of hazardous waste site, "your ZIP code can matter more than your genetic code." #gardenroots #sciwri16
Think beyond compelling quotes to accurately represent scientists' roles, esp. underrepresented groups, says Clarke #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Not sure I can get behind that, but there are ways to talk about roles besides just letting them have a quote. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
#sciwri16 how to reveal the secret life of women scientists - as them! Says Julia Clarke
Historic contributions of naturalists: non-scientists who love being outside and observing the world around them #gardenroots #sciwri16
Julia Clarke, before talking secret lives of dinos, reminding us to remember the "secret" lives of women scientists. #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Julia Clarke suggests what science writers can do to better represent women in science
#sciwri16 https://t.co/kLa5XRYF37
Darwin may have been the first crowd-sourcing scientist says Mónica Ramirez-Andreotti. #sciwri16 #gardenroots
Clarke: Ask women "What was your role?" Chose quotes & pics that represent contribution. #sciwri16
We're on to dinosaurs for real. There will be 2-week-old info! #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Now to the primary talk: how to reconstruct the lives of dinosaurs, which were real animals, not sci-fi monsters #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Charles Darwin was “the original crowdsource scientist.” Talking about citizen science and environmental protection #SciWri16 #GardenRoots
Clarke: most pop-culture references to dinosaurs have everything to do with us and little to do with actual animals #dinosecrets #sciwri16
1940-50s @NSF starts informal science education programs, b/c science learning also takes place outside classroom #gardenroots #sciwri16
#sciwri16 #dinosecrets Clarke: fossil dinos mostly bones, contain clues to representing life & ev relationships of Dinos
Clarke pairs her dino bone research with cutting open modern animals. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Citizen scientist John Snow did know something #gardenroots #sciwri16
Clarke - Implications that choice of quotes and pics are too often selected/inflicted by editorial "dinosaurs". #sciwri16
I love the idea that #citizenscience gets back to early science when amateurs relied on communities to gather knowledge #sciwri16
Clarke uses fossils, but also (like "another Julia" Julia Child) studies modern dinosaurs for their anatomy: birds #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Journos can help! When seeking quotes, look at full authorship, ask women about their contributions. #sciwri16

Julia Clarke's talk about the secret lives of dinosaurs at #sciwri16 made me think of this:
https://t.co/EA6rGx0Lyn
Living dinosaur (bird) versus closing living relative (crocodilians)--very different! #sciwri16
Clarke: closest living relatives to birds are crocodiles, which aren't very birdlike. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: lots of studies from NE China, lots of feathered Dinos #sciwri16 #dinosecrets

Awww look at the cute little pony-sized tyrannosaur #dinosecrets #sciwri16
FUZZY DINOSAURS! So many fuzzy dinosaurs, many specimens from China and Mongolia #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Digs in China reveal fuzzy and feathered dinosaurs. Others with filament covering. #sciwri16
Skin and scales on hadrosaurs (have pet one) #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Some dinosaurs were scaly: hadrosaurs ("duckbills"), sauropods ("longnecks"), ceratopsians (triceratops family) #dinosecrets #sciwri16
"Protofeathers" may predate feathers by 100mil year #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Proto-feathers may predate actual feathers by 100 million years!! #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Something else to admire about the great #CharlesDarwin. #sciwri16 #gardenroots #citizenscience https://t.co/cYSNAtshmu
Charles Darwin was “the original crowdsource scientist.” Talking about citizen science and environmental protection #SciWri16 #GardenRoots
Motivations for citizen science range from changing social or ecological paradigms to personal learning goals. #sciwri16 #gardenroots
Are skin features tied to things like stance since they're so old? #dinosecrets #sciwri16
"Gardens are excellent place for research, engagement, and education." #gardenroots #sciwri16
#sciwri16 the secret lives of dinosaurs @Jclarkepaleolab - tool kit for feathered body coverings is ancient
Clarke - If something predates feathers by 100 million years may mark other stances in stance and movement. #sciwri16
Feathers in dinosaurs may have earlier origin; the gene is present early in the fossil record. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Jurassic Park totally disregarded data on the body coverings of dinosaurs. --Julia Clarke #sciwri16
Clarke calls out #JurassicWorld producers for ignoring recent research on dinosaur body coverings... where are the protofeathers!? #sciwri16
Clarke: Problem of reconstructing dinosaur colors is pigments don't usually survive. Feathers are another story #dinosecrets #sciwri16
What color is your dinosaur? Pigments don't fossilize well. But can look for pigment packages-- shape matches color. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: look at melanin system of living animals to infer colors of Dinos (shape of packages = diff colors) #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Gardens: great environmental health citizen science to study green space, heavy metals, health, community building #gardenroots #sciwri16
Clarke: Fuzzy dinosaurs are still "compelling, majestic, and scary." #dinosecrets #sciwri16 https://t.co/ziGOpXEYcE
Melanin is one of the most stable pigments out there--black is much easier to see than, say, a flamingo's pink. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Melanin colors hair in mammals e.g. And is one of most stable in fossil record #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Color determined by melanin pigment packages in which shape influences color. #sciwri16
Clarke: some melanosome colors are preserved better than others. Found black, white, red dinosaur feathers #dinosecrets #sciwri16
wow what a weekend, a honey butter chicken toast to San Antonio and #sciwri16 https://t.co/dSVKDINAQ5
Large color patches are for signaling and display. Living birds teach us that, then we can apply to dinosaurs. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
37 million households have food garden, 3m work community gardens, Ramirez-Andreotta says. But soil can hold pollutants/metals. #sciwri16
It's crucial to work alongside community for all steps of the scientific research process says Ramirez-Andreotti #sciwri16 #gardenroots

Patterned feathers mean camouflage. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
What color were donosaurs? Think about what we see in nature-red, grey, brown, probably patterned (kinda like birds) #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: even early dinosaur feathers are patterned and brightly colored, so they were probably part of sexual display #dinosecrets #sciwri16
#sciwri16 the secret life of dinosaurs: living dinos- i.e. birds - help infer colors of extinct ones - & we find patterns! @jclarkepaleolab
Clarke: Dino melanin feathers always appears to be patterned #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Correction to my earlier tweet: some feathers are display, others are camouflage #dinosecrets #sciwri16 https://t.co/TZsJ71JaYv
Patterned feathers mean camouflage. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
It's the spacing of melanin sheets that determine the color of a sheen, so we're not sure yet if bluish or greenish. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Some dinosaur feathers were iridescent: reflect light and make feathers shiny. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
People are intrinsically motivated to work on issues where they live, shown by @LeeAnne_Walters in #FlintWaterCrisis #gardenroots #sciwri16
<obligatory Jurassic Park clip> #dinosecrets #sciwri16
So sad I'm missing #dinosecrets at #sciwri16 but I'm enjoying all your tweets about it! :)
Pigments can be packaged to change color and refraction patterns, including into pancake shapes complete with bubbles #dinosecrets #sciwri16
#Sciwri16 last day: talk on self-driving cars or lizard sex/behavior? Nostalgia 4 PhD in sex determination may win. #smarttranspo #lizardsex
Clarke: What might dinosaurs actually sound like? #sciwri16
"Think about how hard it is to make a loud noise and then shove a cheeseburger in your mouth," says Clarke #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Dinosaur sounds in movies are from predators of humans, roaring lions. But lions don't roar when hunting! #dinosecrets #sciwri16
What an awesome weekend at #sciwri16 !! San Antonio was great too. Hope to see everyone at AAAS! #scicomm #scislugs17
Sound comes from vocal cords. Ours are at the end of windpipe. New research says crocs' are too #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Julia Clarke: The secret lives of dinosaurs #sciencejournalism #guesteditors #wcsj2017 #sciwri16
Clarke: Sound is made by vocal folds. Closed mouth projection from vocal folds to resonating chamber. #sciwri16
Clarke: living alligators make sound using vocal folds in their throats. Birds' vocal folds are nearly in their lungs #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Ramirez-Andreotta has trained citizen scientists to gather data & samples (soil and water) to evaluate arsenic levels #sciwri16
Clarke digitally dissects croc and bird scans. Bird vocal folds at the split of brachiae, near heart, totally unique. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Great seeing everyone at #sciwri16! @chanapa_t @DrAudreyHuang @NessaMcmains @biascientist @coloradan

Birds' vocal folds are located next to their hearts!! Helps explain those amazing songs #dinosecrets #sciwri16
New paper compares fossil of modern bird. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Ramirez-Andreotti analyzes arsenic accumulation in soil which concerns community so ppl get involved in the science #sciwri16 #gardenroots
Clarke: Birds have their vocal folds situated right next to their hearts. (TIL!) #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Really wish I was at #sciwri16!!
Dinosaurs don't have lips or muscular cheeks like us. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke digitally dissects croc and bird scans. Bird vocal folds at the split of brachiae, near heart, totally unique. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Forget what you saw in Jurassic Park,most dinosaurs were feathered and fuzzy, and probably sounded more like crocodiles than lions #sciwri16
Clarke: Working on building 3D models. That allow/constrain the sounds #sciwri16
Clarke: dinosaurs didn't have lips or cheeks like ours. Alligator roars and some large bird glormps are closed-mouth #dinosecrets #sciwri16
There's an ostrich relative that makes a booming noise with mouth closed. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Plant science nerd out! Ramirez-Andreotta: highest arsenic levels in lettuce & mustard families. lowest in beans. #gardenroots #sciwri16
Crocs and large bodied birds make closed mouth sounds. T-Rex wouldn't have roared with an open mouth. #childhoodmisconceptions #sciwri16
#sciwri16 Dino secrets: what did they sound like? Not an opened mouth roar Sounds come from near the heart in living dinos i.e. birds
How might have dinosaurs sound like? Like crocodiles and ostriches. #dinosecrets #sciwri16 https://t.co/BiT7LYnuRV
Clarke: think about Dino brains, digital endocasts & play key role in vocalizations #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Arsenic - no matter the source - is not a recommended part of the food pyramid. #sciwri16 https://t.co/aCvDxmomVb
Clarke: brains don't fossilize (whatever that recent story says), but brain cases still show brain shape & size #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Julia Clarke refers to birds as "living dinosaurs". I love it! 😍 #dinosecrets #sciwri16
You can go look up amount of
metals in your local grocery items too at FDA Market Basket Survey https://t.co/A9lBqLBr2b #sciwri16
Huge increase in bird brain size found around the origin of flight--needed for complex communication. #sciwri16
#sciwri16 brain size increase in birds may have been connected to communication not flight @jclarkepaleolab
Forebrain size increased in birds is related to the development of vocal communications strategies proposes Clarke. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Modern birds have much bigger brains than Dino (v.raptor) (forebrain esp): due to vocalizations? #sciwri16 #dinosecrets Clarke
"Maybe they're really offended at the sartorial choices in this case," says Clarke of movie dinosaurs. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: in movies, dinosaurs make sound before they eat you. In real life, sounds often are b/t parents and offspring #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Brain size increase from dinosaurs to birds related to increased vocal communication #sciencejournalism #guesteditors #wcsj2017 #sciwri16
Baby crocs & birds pip to mom. Dinos might have, too. #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Something we often forget: complex song is typically a male-only behavior in #birds. #sciwri16
In birds, complex songs is typically a male behavior. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Evolution of large forebrain in birds correlates with evolution of flight, not visual or vocal communication #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: sounds in living animals are also frequently for territory defense and mating. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
#sciwri16 "this leads to a very different Jurassic Park" @jclarkepaleolab
When do dinosaurs make sounds? Communicating with offspring. #sciwri16
Croc and bird baby pics! #dinosecrets #sciwri16 Clarke: sounds for comm w/ young, defending territory, mating behaviors
A very different #JurassicPark: Dinos vocalizing when mating, communicating with parents, not before they eat you. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
So why do we care? Wrapping up with how our dinosaur perception shapes modern world. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Living dinosaurs comprise about 10,000 species of living birds. #sciwri16 Dinosaurs are among us!
Movie science: Dinosaurs roar when they're about to eat you.Real science: Dinos probably made sounds to communicate to their kids #sciwri16
Mónica Ramirez-Andreotta, @UofA environmental scientist, led arsenic assessment with community gardeners. #SciWri16 #GardenRoots
Clarke: "dinosauroid" concept of Dino evolved- but did happen in birds! (Look different tho) #dinosecrets #sciwri16 https://t.co/XxQcAMnTzA
What if dinos didn’t go extinct & evolved for next 65 mil years? You get the #dinosauroid--looks terrifying & nightmare-inducing. #sciwri16
We're biased by our notion of what intelligence looks like. Maybe dinos can teach us to treat living animals better. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
#sciwri16 @jclarkepaleolab what do we share with our feathered doppelgängers - and shouldn't we extend them our respect?
Clarke: We are surrounded by smart dinosaurs: birds. #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Clarke: Crows, ravens, etc. are the intelligent, bipedal, big-brained, living dinosaurs #dinosecrets #sciwri16

First question asks for what Clarke would give Spielberg for the next movie. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
It takes a long time for govt to address concerns related to Superfund Sites in communities says Ramirez-Andreotti #sciwri16 #gardenroots
Most participants changed gardening and eating habits based on the results, and are continuing to check toxin levels. #SciWri16 #GardenRoots
Clarke: What if dinosaurs had not gone extinct but continued to evolve? Uses covidae as living example. #sciwri16
More booming and bellowing, turns to quacking/honking late Cretaceous. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
How to communicate risk and exposure? By involving community says Ramirez-Andreotti #sciwri16 #gardenroots
Are we getting a dude mansplaining gender representation in science writing to Clarke? #dinosecrets #sciwri16

Clarke thinks some journalists think the birds are living dinosaurs thing is hard to grasp...not sure on that one #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Ramirez-Andreotti saw an increase in confidence of environmental literacy and action after citizen science projects #sciwri16 #gardenroots
#sciwri16 Students get it immediately that birds are living dinosaurs & part of the same lineage @jclarkepaleolab

Someone let a kid in to ask about dinosaur eggs #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Kid in the audience! He asks how dinosaur eggs look. They look a lot like ostrich eggs. :) #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
@meghanbartels I grew up w/ dinos extinct narrative; maybe b/c I'm a sci, I'm ok w/ notion of birds as Dinos. #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
Great Q on dino eggs, and interesting answer on how we may be close to learning what color they might have been #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Big question from a little person: do dinosaur eggs look like bird eggs? Yes! #sciwri16 #dinosecrets https://t.co/gWMcSKKBWN
Not sure which journalists are reaching out to people other than corresponding / lead authors to talk just on a paper #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Coolest fact for EEB folks: Dinos went from bipedal to quadrupedal at least 4 times with the emergence of herbivory. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: Four separate transitions from bipedal to quadrapedal in sauropods. Only place where this has occured. #sciwri16
Send some love to sauropods! Dinos go go from bipedality to tetrapedality 4 times in their lineage. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Dinosaur eggs were a lot like our easter eggs, says @Laelaps https://t.co/tjZzNTNsmQ #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Dinosaur growth rate not as fast as modern birds. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Sexual dimorphism in dinos! Switch from bony ornaments to feathered ones #dinosecrets #sciwri16
It's good to remember that extinct dinosaurs were an incredibly diverse group of animals. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Penguins, albatross--more equal parental input, less sexual dimorphism #dinosecrets #sciwri16
So nice to spend time with @ronwinslow @russellcris and @b0yle at #SciWri16 this weekend! Great group.
Q: could we ever find intact dinosaur DNA? Clarke: no. DNA is very unstable. Even 200k-yo Neanderthal DNA is hard #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke: What survived and what went extinct may have been related to growth/maturity rates. Faster advantage? #sciwri16
Sexual dimorphism in dinos? We know of bony ornaments, & maybe they had feathered ornaments, like some birds. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Clarke does not see much hope for dinosaur DNA #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Esto es contra lo que hay que pelear. Gracias @DrMRFrancis y @astrobiologiste for sharing this talk by Julia Clarke… https://t.co/kT8a9muwf9
Picture of Clarke in NYT story is her reflection in a male colleague's sunglasses. Women were 1/4 of team, no photos. #dinosecrets #sciwri16
Great asset for citizen science/environmental health issues: local newspapers! Another reason 2 keep them around. #gardenroots #sciwri16
Powerful session on #Flint water crisis & lessons for rest of country #sciwri16 - the failure of government to protect people astonishing
Clarke: I don't think that dinosaur genomics are in our future, but there are lots of other exciting things that are #dinosecrets #sciwri16

With #climatechange, #pollution "Animal behavior is the link bet. the nervous system & the ecosystem" (C. Snowden, ad.) #lizardsex #sciwri16
Dellenback: connected vehicle tech. will allow cars to communicate with one another #smarttranspo #sciwri16 (1/2)
@LizardMichele There are lots of parallels between humans and other animals #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Michele Johnson tell us why lizard sex is the connection between neurology and geography. Do tell. #sciwri16
All behaviors need brain + hormones + muscles #lizardsex #sciwri16
"Animal behavior is link between nervous system and ecosystem." Nice quote from Charles Snowden. #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Connected vehicle technology = one of the many reasons I'm super psyched about self-driving cars! #sciwri16
Thanks for the better fuel economy, tailgaters! #sciwri16
Drafting: The car behind gets a benefit but so does the car in front - automated vehicles could operate as a larger system #sciwri16
Tailgating = better fuel economy, Steve Dallenback says #sciwri16
Dellenback: tech. can help us avoid being in blind spots and rear-ending (or getting rear-ended b/c not braking fast enough) #sciwri16 (2/2)
@LizardMichele Does same combo of traits underlie similar behaviors in different species? OR #lizardsex #SciWri16
If we were using technology to control transport then we'd have less whitespace on roads - Steve Dellenback #SmartTranspo #sciwri16
Connected vehicles mean the cars will talk to each other and not crash, basically. #sciwri16
Do the same traits underlie similar behaviors? or can different combinations produce similar behavior? #sciwri16 #lizardsex
@LizardMichele Do different combos of traits underlie similar behaviors? #lizardsex #SciWri16
A behavior is just the interaction between brain and muscle. #lizardsex #sciwri16
Johnson: Animal behavior is the link betwween the nervous system and the ecosystem - Charles Snowden (1990). #sciwri16
Connected vehicle technology has already been researched and is ready to deploy #sciwri16
Does same combination of traits underlie similar behaviors in different species?No. #sciencejournalism #guesteditors #wcsj2017 #sciwri16
Why lizards? Super diverse (6000 species) with very different behavior, but simple social structures #lizardsex #sciwri16
Great #sciwri16 conference! But man...weekend meetings make Mondays especially hard. https://t.co/9BUTejmX3a
Dellenback: V2V (vehicle 2 vehicle) is easier b/c it doesn't involve infrastructure - just vehicles, but still safety benefits #sciwri16
"Lizards don't have any care for their offspring" 😞 #lizardsex #sciwri16
Johnson: Why lizards? Great diversity of species and relatively simple social structure. #sciwri16
Just using hashtag #lizardsex means I have gotten my money's worth out of #sciwri16
Why lizards? Because they are diverse, have varied behavior, simple social structure, and are cool! #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Why lizards? Diverse, variety of social behaviors, simple social structure, and they're just cool! #lizardsex #sciwri16

Dellenback: Who wants driverless tech? Tech companies like Google or Apple do. Gov't or insurance companies aren't pushing it #sciwri16
What does Google want you to do in an autonomous car? Be online, seeing ads #sciwri16
Tech companies are pushing driverless cars, not the auto industry. #sciwri16

Dellenback: Motivation for developing driverless tech. might not be as noble as people think (e.g. ads) #smarttranspo #sciwri16
Johnson: Interactions of brain, hormones, and muscles. Research in the context of where they occur. #sciwri16
Nothing says fieldwork like not showering for a week. Sometimes I'm happy to work in a lab... #lizardsex #sciwri16

Fieldwork means pencil and paper and binoculars. Doesn't matter how many outlets there are #lizardsex #sciwri16
@LizardMichele Uses pencil and paper and binoculars to collect behavioral data in remote field sites #SciWri16 #lizardsex
Big challenge to automated vehicle development is that every company has different definition says Steve Dellenback #SmartTranspo #sciwri16
All of these new technologies such as driverless cars - how can we ensure that everyone benefits, rather than just the rich? #sciwri16
Pole extends to 14 feet, fishing wire noose--lizards are too light to hurt themselves #lizardsex #sciwri16
Automated does not necessarily mean driverless #sciwri16

Males have dewlaps--some females have small ones, but mostly male #lizardsex #sciwri16
The editor in me is loving all the great imagery in this talk. Such a great potential magazine article. #lizardsex #sciwri16
Nomenclature matters - an automated vehicle is not the same thing as a driverless car #sciwri16
Physiologically dewlaps are simple. One muscle extends it #lizards #sciwri16
Dellenback: Google cars need to be pre-driven before it can get you somewhere - problem? there are 6.8millon km of roads in US #sciwri16
Catches lizards w 14-ft pole w dental floss loop. "Don't recommend w/mammals" but lizards r light enough they aren't harmed. #sciwri16
Does anyone else have to stifle a giggle everytime they hear the word 'dewlap' #lizardsex #sciwri16
Lizard skin flap used to attract mate. Called a dewlap or "dude flap" #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Johnson: Behavior observations in the field. Caught specimens brought back to lab and thin-slice dissected with staining. #sciwri16
This cute little lizard pulsed his dewlap and did some push-ups and got his girl #lizardsex #sciwri16

Male lizards extend their neck dewlap (aka dude flap) and do push ups to attract females. No pressure, boys. #lizardsex #sciwri16
BABY PUSHUPS I CAN'T #lizardsex #sciwri16
Dellenback: Google pod vehicle looks like a golf cart. no provided protection for passengers, so only can be in contained env. #sciwri16
Good place for autonomy: Farm vehicles #sciwri16
@LizardMichele of 30 species, lots of variety in dewlap extension time and duration of display #SciWri16 #lizardsex
Dellenback: In contained environment (e.g. farm fields), the driverless tech is ready and is already being used #smarttranspo #sciwri16
In a constrained environment, self-driving technology is ready today. -Dellenback #sciwri16
Lab also studies copulatory behavior: "lizard pretzels" #lizardsex #sciwri16
Push ups also used in mate attraction because even lizards are into crossfit lately. #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Many, fast little pushups and dewlap inflations are key to attracting a lady lizard, says @LizardMichele #lizardsex #sciwri16
Anole sex is kinky. Good to know. #sciwri16 #lizardsex

FYI: lizards have two penises. #sciwri16 #lizardsex
One for each testis! #lizardsex #sciwri16 https://t.co/xwkFSozp4N
FYI: lizards have two penises. #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Why are there two hemipenes? Each teste is connected to a single pene. Lets the animal bypass the refractory period. #lizardsex #sciwri16
Aaaand the reason? So they can have sex with two mates in succession. I guess that was bound to be the reason. #sciwri16
Thanks for a fantastic conference, @ScienceWriters! Great seeing old colleagues and meeting new ones. #sciwri16
Military currently unwilling to accept automated vehicles without controls for a human driver #sciwri16
April-August is mating season. How often #lizardsex happens within that varies species to species. #sciwri16
Some automated vehicles can be controlled by hand signals #sciwri16
Johnson - Lizards and snakes have dual hemipene, each connected to one teste. Allows rapid second mating with novel female. #sciwri16
Lizard sex vs self-driving cars. What a time to not have a working computer. #sciwri16
Unmanned farm vehicles are in use and making money, Dellenback says. Military is testing automated vehicles. #sciwri16
Wow. Now I know why lizard males have 2 whereas human males have 1. #lizardsex #sciwri16 Thanks, @LizardMichele!
This is because mating opportunities can be unpredictable. Having 2 means no refractory period! #lizardsex #sciwri16
Claim: We have adequate roadways if we more tightly pack in vehicles #sciwri16

Problem: What do you do about bad weather? #sciwri16
@LizardMichele Muscle size not correlated w/ copulation rate, nor dewlap rate...they were wrong #SciWri16 #lizardsex
Science can be disappointing, says @LizardMichele. Feels, bro. #lizardsex #sciwri16
Johnson - In single species, use determines muscle size. Across species, no cor. btwn size copulation rate and dewlap extension. #sciwri16
Weather is a game changer w driverless cars #sciwri16
Automated vehicles designed now for structured environments - paved, marked roadways. Weather can change things a lot. #sciwri16
Another problem: Automated cars only work in good weather conditions right now - Steve Dellenback #SmartTranspo #sciwri16
If lizards find out about self-driving cars, they will be able to have even more sex, even during road trips. #sciwri16
It turns out it's not how often they have sex that changes muscle size, it's how big the hemipenis is #lizardsex #sciwri16
love this slide. @LizardMichele reminds us that studying evolution is full of surprises! #lizardsex #sciwri16 https://t.co/vQ4olEqUif
Problem: How do we know when we've tested them enough? It takes 300 million miles to validate a vehicle component #sciwri16
Larger hemipenes = larger retracting muscle for hemipene (controlling for body size) #SciWri16 #lizardsex @LizardMichele
How do you certify an automated vehicle? You can't - Steve Dellenback #SmartTranspo #sciwri16

Occasionally, size does matter. #lizardsex #sciwri16 Yep, occasionally i’m also 12 years old. https://t.co/x4D0llgt0A
It turns out it's not how often they have sex that changes muscle size, it's how big the hemipenis is #lizardsex #sciwri16
@Trinity_U prof Michele Johnson talking #lizardsex: 1100 hours so far w 32 scientists, mostly undergrads. Great talk at #sciwri16
Problem: How do you make autonomous vehicles affordable? #sciwri16
People are willing to spend $3000-4000 to automate their cars #sciwri16
Hardware costs of self-driving vehicles run about $60-180k, but people will only pay $3000 -Dellenback #sciwri16
"We're really familiar with the training effect because that's why we go to the gym." But hard to produce in reptiles #lizardsex #sciwri16

Lizards on treadmills. I’m totally having flashbacks to grad school now. #sciwri16 #lizardsex
Only 5% difference in muscles between trained ("Olympic lizards") and untrained lizards #lizardsex #sciwri16
Problem: The Trolley problem https://t.co/IsJuLoda1n #sciwri16
Johnson - Why do species vary in muscle fiber size? Lizards seem to have minimal training effects. #sciwri16
Hearing about myoblasts just gave me flashbacks to every anatomy class I've ever taken. #lizardsex #sciwri16

Yep, that's a lizard on a treadmill. Looking at training effect to see if use-->muscle growth. #lizardsex #sciwri16 https://t.co/nnXnQ4ctVN
Opinion: Autonomous vehicles might show up in constrained environments (farms, retirement communities, special technology lanes) #sciwri16
Dellenback doubts we'll see automated vehicles regularly on public roads in the next 3-20 years. #sciwri16
"I think you can guess by its name what this muscle does" says @LizardMichele. #lizardsex #sciwri16 https://t.co/donu7SmqKR
"If you like driving do you really want to give that up to a computer?"-Dellenback #sciwri16
Dellenback's opinion: won't see autonomous cars on all roadways for 20 yrs. Can't mix them with human-driven cars #smarttranspo #sciwri16
Johnson - For dewlap extension, neither training nor embryonic fusing are strongly supported. #sciwri16
Cybersecurity a huge issue for commercial automated system industry. Detroit 'scared to death' of it & should be, Dellenback says. #sciwri16
Now wants to figure out if muscles used more often are more closely connected to the brain #lizards explained #sciwri16

Humans are both terrible at assessing risk and won't pay much $ for safety systems in cars. #smarttranspo #sciwri16
Johnson - Are muscles that are used more often more strongly connected to nervous system? #sciwri16 Prelim: not for dewlap.
Evolution is weird and complicated and, on that note, thanks for the good times CASW and #sciwri16
@LizardMichele As muscle use increases, RPM hemipene muscle neuron connections also increase #SciWri16 #lizardsex
"We have a very enthusiastic maybe!" Ahhh science. #lizardsex #sciwri16
@LizardMichele Muscles used more are more connected to the brain in general. "enthusaistic maybe" #lizardsex #SciWri16

Scott Bolton: innovation comes from a combination of analytical and creative thought #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
Science, art, music, you name it, all begin with sheer curiosity. And what's better than the night sky to inspire that? #sciwri16
.@simonnejones you would love this video featuring musicians talking about the importance of artistry and music in science #sciwri16
.@SwRI video reminding us of Galileo's music background. Sang to keep time during the ball-rolling experiment. Music=math #sciwri16
4) #sciwri16 dinosaurs! https://t.co/LNVTjGBUbf
Clarke: Digs in China reveal fuzzy and feathered dinosaurs. Others with filament covering. #sciwri16
Music and science are intrinsically linked - both are a 'universal language'. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
I don't know about anyone else, but I am definitely checking out the playlist that was used for @NASAJuno outreach video #sciwri16

Somehow that cloud collapses to form the sun. Most of the leftovers become Jupiter #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Young stars are born, "shrouded" in dust and gas. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Scott Bolton: 'Where did the stuff that made us come from?' Oh space, you make me feel so whimsical. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
"The leftovers of the leftovers, that's us," says Bolton #bullyplanet #sciwri16
"If we're going to understand our roots, we have to understand what happened to initiate planet formation," says Scott Bulton. #sciwri16
Spinning cloud collapsed and formed Sun. Leftovers formed Jupiter. Leftovers of leftovers became the rest #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
The cloud collapses and the sun was born. most of the leftover bits become jupiter. anything else? That's us #bullyplanet #sciwri16
It's sort of like a giant recipe. So you start by looking at the elements. #sciwri16

Bolton - Why Jupiter? Cloud collapse to become sun; most of leftovers becoma Jupiter; Earth in leftovers of leftovers. #sciwri16
Bolton on @NASAJuno: After the sun, Jupiter was made of the leftovers. We're the leftovers of the leftovers — not quite stardust. #SciWri16
Jupiter is the key to understanding where we came from and how we got here #bullyplanet #sciwri16

Clarke: Crows, ravens, etc. are the intelligent, bipedal, big-brained, living dinosaurs #dinosecrets #sciwri16
ok scott bolton you're missing like eight elements from your periodic table #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Most of the universe is hydrogen and helium. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton: Most of the universe if made of hydrogen and helium - but rest of elements make who we are (e.g. carbon) #bullyplanet #sciwri16
The rest of the solar system (other than the sun) could fit into Jupiter with room to spare. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Scott Bolton: "lo que quiero es averiguar 'la receta' del sistema solar" #Jupiter #sciwri16 @SciAmEspanol

Life: made up of CHNOPS elements mostly. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
We've lost our history: volcanoes, earthquakes, escaping light gases #bullyplanet #sciwri16
"We've lost our history," says Scott Bulton. We can't determine what elements were originally in the Earth thanks to geology. #sciwri16.
Bolton: Jupiter is much like the sun in composition - we can investigate history of our solar system with @NASAJuno #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
15) Child question! #sciwri16 https://t.co/2Z9LYBodq5
Kid in the audience! He asks how dinosaur eggs look. They look a lot like ostrich eggs. :) #sciwri16 #dinosecrets
The outer planets, especially Jupiter, have similar elemental composition to sun #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton: look @ ingredients in solar system "recipe," #Jupiter influence on Earth. #bullyplanet #sciwri16 @NASAJuno
But Jupiter has maintained that history. And it's enriched in heavy elements. #sciwri16
Earth isn't massive enough to hold its helium & hydrogen atoms. Our composition now very different from during planet formation. #sciwri16
To a cosmologist, any element after helium is rare and heavy #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
To a cosmologist, everything after helium is rare and heavy. That's very different from a geologist. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
16) Remarkable dinosaur fact #sciwri16 https://t.co/hvNl5SJdI3
Clarke: Four separate transitions from bipedal to quadrapedal in sauropods. Only place where this has occured. #sciwri16
Jupiter is enriched in heavy elements #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton: The universe is mostly H and He, a tiny bit is everything else. But that's us - leftovers of the leftovers. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Why is Jupiter so important? It 1) Is the biggest planet; 2) Prob formed first; 3) Has heavy elements (but not the *best* planet) #sciwri16
Bolton: Jupiter was mostly made of H and He, but it became enriched in heavier elements, which are the ones we are made of. How? #sciwri16
Scott Bolton: "We came from a can of soup."
Move over, Big Bang. #sciwri16
To a cosmologist, everything after He is a rare and heavy element #sciwri16 #bullyplanet @AstroPerico
Bolton using Campbells soup can to make analogy to elements & order order of sol. Sys. // nod to Warhol? #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
Bolton - Jupiter is enriched in heavy elements (beyond He) relative to sun. What occured to spark planet formation? #sciwri16

The Galileo probe very much looked like a submarine, says Scott Bolton. #sciwri16 https://t.co/jCjfwey7cW
Galileo's data busted every single theory we had about planetary formation. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Water hints that Jupiter was formed a little later than the Sun. #bullyplanet #sciwri16 @AstroPerico https://t.co/w1VItNFeIc
Every single theory of planet formation "proven" wrong after Galileo data on Jupiter's composition. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton: Jupiter is enriched heavy elements (noble gases, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen), debunking planetary formation theories #sciwri16
"30 minutes after the Galileo data returned, every single theory of planetary formation was overturned," says Scott Bulton. #sciwri16
In the first 30 mins of NASA Galileo data from Jupiter, every leading planetary formation theory was disproven, says Scott Bolton #sciwri16
We still can't explain how planets form to this day. #sciwri16
ICYMI Flint water mom, prof honored for exposing crisis #nextflint #sciwri16 @deborahblum https://t.co/E4ZtWAhXRj
On Jupiter, a bunch of heavy elements are enriched, but water is very depleted. (*And the theories all fall down.*) #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Data from Galileo probe doesn't fit any theory of planet formation - Scott Bolton #bullyplanet #sciwri16
To this day, no theory fully describes this data (from '95 Jupiter probe), says Bolton. Sounds like my PhD thesis. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
#Galileo data on elements in #Jupter. Bolton: "This proved every theory of planetary formation wrong." #sciwri16 @NASAJuno #bullyplanet
Bolton: data from @NASA Galileo didn’t fit any theories on planet formation, to this day no theory fits. @NASAJuno #BullyPlanet #SciWri16
Water = most common multi-element molecule. 2 Hydrogens, 1 oxygen (3rd most common element) #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Water is the most common multi-element molecule in the universe, Bolton says. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Scott Bolton of @NASAJuno: "Water is key to understanding the formation of Jupiter." #sciwri16 #bullyplanet https://t.co/7SqQvgzKXh
Bolton: Oxygen is 3rd most common element in universe- making water the most common molecule in the universe (two H and one O) #sciwri16
The most common multi-element molecule is prob water. This is amazing to consider. Water is fundamental to life, & it's everywhere #sciwri16
Water is probably the most common molecule. So it's key in understanding Jupiter, says Scott Bulton. #sciwri16
The reason ppl believe water is so imp for universe formation is because Hydrogen is the most abundant molecule - Scott Bolton #sciwri16
Bolton - Jupiter enriched relative to sun, except for water. Blew all the theories. Still no good theory. #sciwri16 https://t.co/B1E9y13JK4
Top 3 elements in universe: 1. H 2. He 3. O. So water is common & fundamental: most common molecule? #bullyplanet #sciwri16 Bolton

CO 2nd most common molecule in universe. Bolton #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Now @NASAJuno is going to look for water using a new technique: microwave radiation - Scott Bolton #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Now we're talking microwave measurements of water, see also https://t.co/bKYZaYa5pK #bullyplanet #sciwri16
In first 30 mins of data from previous Galileo Probe of Jupiter every theory of planet formation was proven wrong, Bolton said #sciwri16
Juno is designed to look for the signature of water and other chemicals in Jupiter #bullyplanet #sciwri16
@NASAJuno twirls around Jupiter, the size of a basketball court. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton used microwaves to measure water on Jupiter #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Listening to Scott Bolton talk about Juno and drinking Peets coffee at #sciwri16. Life doesnt get better. https://t.co/Rluabd8RKq
"We didn't actually have a big enough rocket to get to Jupiter" hence the gravity assists. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton describes @NASAJuno as a ship the size of a basketball court twirling around Jupiter. Interesting visual. #BullyPlanet #SciWri16
Getting to Jupiter was hard. They flew Juno past mars and then used a gravity assist from earth's gravity for a push #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Bolton - Juno looks at microwave emssions to measure wate (as is done with sat measurements of earth). #sciwri16
H is the most common element in the universe, then He, then O. Thus, H2O is the most common molecule in the universe #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
So cute! #bullyplanet #sciwri16 https://t.co/sm8OHcJy79

The biggest problem w. quantum mechanics is the peculiar role of the observer, physicist Steven Weinberg told… https://t.co/NrkqoeYNqN
Ehh... it's, at best, misleading to claim that motion of e's in atoms is like moons around a planet. #sciwri16
Scott Bolton: Juno's movie of four moons orbiting Jupiter = humanity's first look at celestial harmonic motion. #sciwri16 #bullyplanet

Bolton - The overall scientific goal is to understand how Jupiter formed? Is there a core and what's the water? #sciwri16
"Everything about Jupiter is extreme," says Scott Bulton. #sciwri16. And yet we still know so little.
Jupiter is the king, it has the most powerful everything in our solar system, says Bolton #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Juno's sci objectives: origin, interior, atmosphere, magnetosphere. "Jupiter is a beast"- Bolton #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
"Jupiter is very much a beast, it is the king of the planets," says Bolton. Everything is extreme #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Jupiter is a beast. King of the planets. Everything about it is extreme. #bullyplanet #sciwri16

Bolton mentions the delay tightening orbits. It doesn't matter to science, just to his impatience and the price #bullyplanet #sciwri16
#sciwri16 Great to see you @betsymason and Alicia, common denominator @KSJatMIT. https://t.co/lFzttFEdXC
Even though Juno didn't jump to a faster orbit on Oct. 19, the science looks the same, says Scott Bulton. It just takes longer. #sciwri16

Like an onion, Jupiter has layers (but Jovian layers vary more). #bullyplanet #sciwri16
New data from Juno shows that the zones and belts exist deep within the planet's atmosphere, says Scott Bulton. #sciwri16
Relativistic electrons surround Jupiter. That sounds like one hell of a welcoming committee for @NASAJuno #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Water absorbs microwave radiation, so @NASAJuno measures microwaves to map water in Jupiter's atmosphere #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
Jupiter's zones and belts go really deep into the planet. How deep? We don't know yet #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Radiation belts are one of the biggest threats to Juno. One reason why there won't be more moon flybys. #bullyplanet #sciwri16
Radio waves from Jupiter converted to sound are better than any Halloween music! #sciwri16
Jupiter sounds like something out of a really weird horror movie. #sciwri16 #bullyplanet
Haha – Bolton plans to play sounds from Jupiter at his house for halloween. Spooky! #bullyplanet #sciwri16
We need to get a that clip of Juno’s radio waves to add to the official #SciWri16 playlist (which is a thing that must happen now).

3) Clarke: Women's contributions get left out. Here's what we can do. #sciwri16
4) Think beyond that good/best quote to represent women's research roles #sciwri16
5) Ask about contributions of collaborative team and structure of the collaboration. #sciwri16

Majority of Americans believe that ppl can reduce #climatechange but they aren't sure how or hopeful ppl will abide to suggestions #sciwri16
If you don't pair threat information without solutions, then people despair and don't do anything. Want to pair threat + solution. #sciwri16

Why does resistance evolve in Asia? Low transmission (fewer mosquito bites), no immunity (Africans have parial immunity), etc. #sciwri16
Possible reasons why parasite's resistance to drugs evolves in Asia, but not in Africa #parasitegenomics #sciwri16 https://t.co/ay3wsOZiHp

Erez Lieberman Aiden: Genome is long--has to fold, fold, fold. #sciwri16 https://t.co/5H0fVSL1dm
Lieberman Aidan: 6 orders of magnitude between scales at which we understand the way DNA folds. Lots to learn from 3D! #3dgenome #sciwri16
Aiden - You can explore the structure of something by looking at relations of extreme proximity (contact method) #sciwri16
Homer Simpson often appears in images alongside donuts and Marge. Therefore Homer likely interacts with Marge & donuts. #sciwri16

.@erezaterez wants to emphasize that we can to contact mapping on the human genome! But there are two challenges (1/2) #3dgenome #sciwri16
Without fully sequenced genome, you have no landmarks. You don't have the 1d map, so how do you make a 3D map? @erezaterez #sciwri16
1. There was no ref. human genome in the 90s and 2. w/o cheap ways to sequence DNA, it's hard to quantify results #3dgenome #sciwri16 (2/2)
Aiden - Cut segments of DNA that get fused must be close together. Idea from Kathleen Collins, early 90's. #sciwri16
As a #gradstudent, @erezaterez helped to develop HI-C, a contact mapping method fof #3dgenome sequencing #sciwri16

Based on Cullen's work in 1990s: her research led to Hi-C 3-D genome sequencing. #sciwri16 https://t.co/tqrLQubN6R
Gene A will always be in the photo with itself. So it has lots of contact with itself. And its closest neighbors. #sciwri16
Aiden - The human genome can be thought of as a 200 million long chain-gang, all linked together. #sciwri16
.@erezaterez says there's a strong correlation between Hi-C results and 3D FISH (fluorescent in-situ hybrid.) results #3dgenome #sciwri16
Needing out about 3D genomes with @erezaterez --> Simpson's analogies are the best! Thanks for a great talk! #sciwri16
Doing FISH (fluorescence-in-situ -hybridization) requires lots and lots of sitting in small dark room. #sciwri16
Aiden: correlation of Hi-C and 3D FISH, which is good. Can make 3-D models of whole genome! #3dgenome #sciwri16

Loops on the contact map look kinda like a mirror flipped % sign. #3dgenome #sciwri16
.@erezaterez: loops in the human genome are pretty small - averaging at 2kb in size -bigger in women b/c of inactive X chromosome #sciwri16
Aiden - Women have loops on their inactive X chromosome. Men have far shorter loops. #sciwri16
"Loopin' loci" seems apt for talk in Texas. #3dgenome .@erezaterez #sciwri16 https://t.co/qhXlCjIPyW

Aiden: loops often conserved across cell types & often across organisms #3dgenome #sciwri16
.@erezaterez: ~25% human #3dgenome loops were shared with chickens - so maybe we also share that much with a T. rex! #sciwri16
We share a significant fraction of our chromosome loops with T. rex, despite T. rex's being an ancient animal. #sciwri16 #3dgenome
Aiden - 25% of loops in a chicken correspond with loops in humans -- common ancestor #sciwri16
Based on questions he's been asking (at like 5-6 years old), I think we're all going to be working for @erezaterez's son someday. #sciwri16

Closing thought from @erezaterez: Disbelieve everything in this talk. But take a look at our data on Github & Juicebox. #sciwri16
Who's still around from #sciwri16, and not on that Trinity tour, this evening? (Bueller...?)
I missed the #3dgenome talk, but am kept in the loop (see what I did there?) by the amazing journalists at #sciwri16
I'm skipping the Trinity tour tonight, but I may hang out in the hotel bar later if anyone is still around #sciwri16

Weiman - Cognitive science provides information on learning for use. #sciwri16
Expert competence: factual knowledge, mental organization to retrieve + apply it, ability to verify if result makes sense #sciwri16
To develop expertise, many hours of intense practice needed to rewire brain #sciwri16
Practice + feedback = learning expertise #sciwri16
Weiman - Experts know a lot but also have a framework for organizing info plus knowing when to try something else. #sciwri16
Learning expertise: practice thinking skills, get feedback on how to improve - knowledge alone is pretty worthless without this #sciwri16
Weiman compares an effective teacher to a good athletic coach #sciwri16
Effective teacher is like a good athletic coach - breaks down to set of defined skills, leads practice, gives feedback, motivates #sciwri16
Stronger brain workout plan: practice specific skills, get feedback, integrate new knowledge and a good coach… https://t.co/rSkDmInYyT
Weiman - Knowledge is only useful if the skills to use it are in place. Requires practice with feedback. #sciwri16
Experiential learning, hands-on, and flipped classroom don't necessarily have the practice + feedback structure, Weiman says #sciwri16
Practice =\= "hands-on," "experiential learning," "flipped classroom" - need to target type of *thinking* you're teaching #sciwri16
Use of clickers in lecture makes students accountable to answer-Wieman talk @Trinity_U #sciwri16 https://t.co/d8mF2jQRsK
Ex: assign pre-class reading to give knowledge, ask class a question about it, vote on answer, have students discuss and revote #sciwri16
Then explain why wrong answer is wrong and how to improve thinking about material #sciwri16
Weiman: Use clickers to prime students for learning - have students discuss and then go over reasoning for answers #sciwri16
Students need to know WHY their answer was incorrect and why other reasoning was correct-Wieman @Trinity_U #sciwri16 https://t.co/WMNI4yBCCe
Keys here: applying, testing conceptual models, critiquing reasoning, getting feedback that can change thinking #sciwri16

Attendance of alt physics classes was 95%, up from 60%, shows Wieman. Students show up when engaged in the learning process #PER #sciwri16
Outcomes in 6 Stanford physics courses using this method: attendance ⬆️ 50-60% to 95%, positive feedback from students & faculty #sciwri16
Why this isn't happening: University incentive system punishes any time away from research #sciwri16
