Wie beeinflusst der #Klimawandel unseren Alltag? Welche Ideen gibt es für eine nachhaltige Zukunft? Diesen Fragen gehen aktuell rund 30 Schüler:innen im #ScienceCamp "Klima & Umwelt" nach. Sie führen Experimente durch, analysieren Daten, diskutieren mit Wissenschaftler:innen und erleben hautnah, wie am @KIT_Karlsruhe geforscht wird.

Wir freuen uns, dass der SWR über das Camp berichtet hat!

Goldfieber im Science Camp „Unsere Erde“. Zwölf Schüler:innen beschäftigten sich in der vergangenen Woche am @KIT_Karlsruhe mit Plattentektonik, Gesteinskunde und Geochemie. Höhepunkt war die Exkursion in die Baden-Baden-Senke bei Bad Herrenalb: Mit Sieben und Goldwaschpfannen suchten sie nach dem Edelmetall und erlebten dabei hautnah, wie eng Wasser, Boden und geologische Prozesse zusammenwirken.

Mit Geländeübungen, Laborarbeit & Exkursionen bereitete das Science Camp Geowissenschaften am @KIT_Karlsruhe die besten Teilnehmenden der Deutschen Geoolympiade auf die IESO 2025 in China vor. Neben fachlicher Vertiefung standen auch englischsprachige Workshops zur Vorbereitung auf die internationale Bühne im Fokus. Ein starkes Zeichen für Nachwuchsförderung im Bereich Geowissenschaften!

🌊 Celebrate World Oceans Day with film! Explore the magic of echolocation and the world of whales through the captivating Oscar-winning film Whale Rider. This beautiful oceanic film is great for summer learning and kids love the echolocation learning activity.

Plan ahead: This is a great film to teach with for Matariki on June 28, too.

The last few days have put me into a prolonged, slow burning state of freak out. Fun.

My friend’s father passed away on Monday. My father went into the hospital on Tuesday. No details on either situation will be forthcoming. We just got clobbered by a thunderstorm which, it turns out, was rough enough to knock out the power in the hospital. The backup generators kicked in a second later, but woah.

I am planning to go to the hospital after work tonight. I need to make dinner first but then I’ll go for a quick visit before visiting hours end. Tomorrow morning is the funeral. I’ll go to the hospital afterwards. How’s that for a tough day? The last few days have been bad, but tomorrow… woah.

On less important (re: not important at all) topics, I have one more episode of The Umbrella Academy’s final season to watch. I strongly suspect that once I finish that final episode I will immediately start a rewatch of the entire series from season one episode one. I think that is going to happen.

Earlier today I was looking at Threads (the twitter alternative social network made by the same assholes who make instagram and bookfayce which begs the question why the fuck am I giving this new social network site the time of day) and I posted that musically speaking, today is a Porcupine Tree kinda day (from a mental health standpoint, of course… meaning heavy and complicated and confusing if you’re not paying close attention). TWELVE MINUTES LATER I got a notification that the Porcupine Tree instagram account had been ported to Threads. They haven’t posted anything yet but I guess I should say you’re welcome?

I don’t know what the dad situation is going to be like this weekend but I do know that Bellana, my step daughter, is coming over for a visit. All the bad, scary stuff going on feels a little more bearable when the kids come by. I am really looking forward to seeing how she did at her conference this week. I want all the sciency details.

Speaking of science, from a nutritional standpoint I screwed up yesterday. I spent the whole day at the hospital with Dad and when I left the house I forgot to take my pill case with me. I took my breakfast vitamin pills before I left, and took my lunch vitamin pills when I got home for dinner. I was going to take my dinner vitamin pills before I went to sleep, but I fell asleep earlier than expected and missed that dose. Dummy. Note to self: bring the friggin’ pill case tomorrow. Dumb ass.

What else? Word from the hospital this afternoon is that Dad is starting to show early signs of coming out of whatever was wrong. My fingers and toes and eyes are all firmly crossed. Again, I am not sharing details beyond a small hint of optimism. Enjoy it while you can.

Okay, Robert. Stop stressing and get back to work. You have stuff to do. Do it.
