Celebrating being almost done with my dissertation with some grad photos taken at @bostonu.bsky.social and @bpl.boston.gov!

@patelkhushboo.bsky.social led our team in the first systematic review of quantitative studies of K-12 STEM belonging; we found 50 studies in 46 papers. (3/N)

How much does it matter whether children think science is about stereotypical tools like microscopes and beakers—or about seeking evidence and building explanations for how the world works? New paper w/ @debkelemen.bsky.social suggests these ideas shape how children learn science.🧵 bit.ly/4u5FsYi

If you are at #CDS2026 and sticking around for the last poster session, come see my poster on the relative influence of fixed mindset, science ID, and conceptions of science on children’s learning in a life science curriculum!
