Safety First

There is more to the focus on safety in science than just avoiding accidents or disruptions in research.  Regular habits of mind needed to keep a safe work environment, like planning and consistent practice, are also valued in the research process.  Plus, you are not just setting up useful habits for yourself, you are setting up a safe environment for the people you work with.  We start with a “safety checklist” media piece this week to prepare for lab work throughout the term.

Emergency Preparedness

With COVID-19, we’ve all been considering the significance of emergency planning.  Develop a safety plan for potential natural disasters in your area, or in an area you are visiting.  For example, in Newport, Oregon it is necessary to be prepared for possible earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides.  Being prepared may include a planned meeting space for friends/family in case communications are unavailable, a week’s supplies of food for you and your pets, and adequate medications for an extended period of time.  Research and develop a plan that fits your location.

 

Welcome Teachers

If you are preparing to teach K-16 students or are homeschooling, welcome!

Even if you are not formally choosing a career path towards teaching, you will most likely be teaching family and friends in your lifetime.  We hope that this course helps you experience the joy in learning and teaching science!
