"Something to think about: The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's scale that to 46 years. We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago. In that time, we have destroyed 50% of the world's forests. This isn't sustainable." #WorldEnvironmentDay

A current GHS student recently brought in these fossil horse and Mastodon teeth his dad received as a gift. Fossils can make excellent presents, especially if you find them yourself! Today's weather in GNV is perfect for collecting! #FossilFriday

Our researchers have found that students involved in this program learn to work better in teams – more focused and more engaged. Ultimately, students who are not typically motivated to study science or math, develop deep interest in #STEAM. xitter.cf/paleoteach/status/9315…

At New Brighton Middle School, students learn about molecules after they download STL, 3D print and paint. How cool is that?! Thanks to creative #STEAM teacher Becca Mussetter @paleoteach participant, @eldrbob @STELAR_CTR @edneuro @UF_COE

This little horned adder (Bitis caudalis) was busy digesting a lizard meal when it was collected. Only the hindlimbs and tail remain intact!

What we need today are universal values based not on faith but on scientific findings, common experience and common sense.

Titanoboa grew to 50 feet long--hard to imagine until comparing its vertebrae to a 17 ft long anaconda's. floridamuseum.ufl.edu/100yea… #FM100Yrs
