August 7th - Astronomical Society of the Pacific - Communicating Science - A National Conference on Science Education and Public Outreach

  1. Trying to tell a story about ASP or something that reminds you of it to non-ASP people. #nobodyunderstandsme #ASPprobs #ASP2012
  2. Come on over to the Volunteers/NPS/Dark Skies workshop! #asp2012
  3. Training National Volunteers to Engage the Public on Dark Skies Awareness presented by my UA Astro Camp colleague Teresa Jiles. #asp2012
  4. Closing thought: building community around star knowledge. #asp2012
  5. Ojibwe: Orion is the Winter-Maker, and arms extend out to Sirius and Aldebaran. #asp2012
  6. Constellation rock paintings in the Boundary Waters area. #asp2012
  7. "Doing a star party for 5th graders is like herding cats." Indeed. #asp2012 cc @DSBK_Astro
  8. Cygnus is the Ojibwe Crane and is oriented in the opposite direction. #asp2012
  9. Who is in charge? Who is paying? What do you want them to experience? Who is your audience? Things to ask when planning #asp2012
  10. Important to know who's in charge for large events and who's paying for it #ASP2012
  11. A Fischer is a housecat-sized weasel that hunts porcupines. It is also the Ojibwe animal for the Big Dipper. #ASP2012
  12. Our success: expecting 200 for Venus transit but getting 3000! #ASP2012
  13. The fisher is a weasel-like creature that eats porcupines! #asp2012
  14. @NoisyAstronomer our blunder: scheduling an event at the same time as a puppy show in the same room #ASP2012
  15. Ok so people setting things on fire with telescopes also scary... Basic safety good to keep in mind with EPO #asp2012
  16. In a great session on formative assessment with Ed Prather and Page Keeley. Lots of new ideas even for experienced educators! #ASP2012
  17. Sharing our biggest EPO blunders. How about leaving the dry ice unsupervised? #asp2012
  18. Ojibwe constellations show the inside of the beings up there, look thru them to see their spirit. Like radio astronomy! #ASP2012
  19. Lee has grad degrees in both astrophysics & painting. Her Ojibwe star map is simply gorgeous. #asp2012
