Understanding Physics 5/3/23
I realized that while I knew a lot about chemistry, my education was missing so much. My world was too narrow.

“We’re being trained to not want to think for ourselves. Instead, we seek to have answers given to us.”

How Do You Know 2/3/23
how many things that I know without realizing how I know it. Or, how many things I think that I know that are not actually correct.
Adopting 2/2/23
Never have I walked into a classroom and demanded changes in order to do my job. I would look at the layout and resources available, and adopted. Never have I refused to learn the technology available to do my job
