Peek behind the curtain of cutting-edge research AND help decide the winners of the 2025 #MySciJourney Challenge! (Scientists, we’re accepting late entries until Nov. 3!)

Join the 2025 #MySciJourney Challenge! We are looking for scientists at all stages to share videos of their journeys in science! Teachers: You and your students can help decide the winners!

Will female frogs be attracted to males who produce many short calls or to males with fewer, longer calls? This evolutionary tradeoff was the question my high school biology students investigated in the mini-unit Balancing Act developed by Galactic Polymath, featuring the research of Dr. Michael Reichert of Oklahoma State University.

We’re not going to fix education with more technology. Let’s reframe what innovation in education actually means. It doesn’t have to mean new tech. Sometimes, it means trusting teachers to lead.

Last week, I had a conversation with a science teacher who whispered, “I don’t recognize this job anymore.” She wasn’t talking about students. She was talking about systems—new tech, new rules, new mandates—none of which she’d had a say in…

Ever wondered what a bird song looks like, or how to visually understand the different frequencies in your favorite music? That's where SoundLab comes in! SoundLab is a free, web-based app designed to make sound visualization and analysis accessible to everyone.

Did you know food systems are responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions? That’s a pretty alarming figure, but where does it come from?

Since founding Galactic Polymath (GP), one of my biggest surprises has been how we’ve all accepted the idea that knowledge should be paid for. We’ve bought the multibillion dollar education publishing industry’s pitch, hook, line, and sinker—

Pacific H₂O isn’t just a high school lab activity — it’s an immersive experience designed to make STEM both accessible and meaningful for students.

Weaving science and engineering together by capturing students’ interest in nature. An integrated STEM unit that’s perfect for PBL!
