It’s SPRING and insect frass is AMAZING fertilizer! So what is FRASS? Well… it’s poop. 🤣 Let’s sift some bug poop! 🐛 💩 @Bugible #insects #frass #mealworms #organicfarming #sustainable #sustainablefarming

Happy Earth Day! How can you make a difference? Think sustainably! Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Eat sustainably! Reduce your carbon footprint by eating less meat, choosing locally grown food, and reducing waste. We can all make a difference! ❤️ #earthday #eatbugs #carbonfootprint

I LOVE science communication and nonprofit fundraising. But after working 12 hours yesterday and 10 today, painting with Arlington Artists Alliance was just what I needed! Art is important - and FUN! Support your local art programs! 🎨#arlingtonartistsalliance #arlingtonva #art

Darwin usually slows down when it’s chilly outside, but Earth Day is too exciting to nap through! She is wide awake and ready for some serious science communication! 🐢 #sciencecommunication #science @LangstonBlvd #arlingtonva #earthday #turtle

Total solar eclipse 2024! I wasn’t in the path of totality, but 89% was still REALLY cool! It was during school, so my AMAZING counselor made sure I got to see it. I love how the image is projected onto sidewalks! @exploreplanets @fcpsnews #eclipse #totaleclipse @TJHSST_Official

OMG! My second appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show is TODAY! I have the BEST time when I’m with Jennifer Hudson, and this time Young Sheldon is there, too! ❤️ @JHudShow @IAMJHUD @YoungSheldon #youngsheldon #jenniferhudsonshow #lindapistun #lindaslab #nationalstemchampion

Sometimes you meet somebody who GETS you. And Aly Moore from @Bugible definitely gets me! I think insects are the future, AND they belong on Mars with us! And guess what? Aly doesn’t think I’m crazy! 🤣 @ExplrMedia @KariByron @jennybuccos @andrewzimmern @SpaceX

Sharing my research with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten, and then introducing her to my favorite teacher, was the best! These women are shaping the future of STEM! @fcpsnews @FCPSScience @TJAnnB @ExplrMedia @usedgov @ExplrMedia @BeKindDreamBig

The National STEM Challenge brought TWO students from @TJHSST_Official to Washington DC! We are both science communicators, founders of 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and hadn’t met until now! Big thanks to @jennybuccos and @KariByron for introducing us! 💕 @GirlsStemify

That time @KariByron liked my plan to solve world hunger through mealworm protein… and she introduced me to @andrewzimmern - a world famous bug eating chef! 😍🐛🍽️ @ExplrMedia #nationalstemfestival #science

You do NOT want to miss the National STEM Festival! The Public Expo is TODAY in Washington DC! Grab your tickets and come meet an amazing group of kids who are determined to CHANGE THE WORLD! @ExplrMedia @KariByron @jennybuccos

So what was it *really* like to be on the @JHudShow with @IAMJHUD and @BillNye ? AHHHH-MAZING! They are both kind, intelligent, funny humans who want to make the world a better place. And I’m so lucky to know them! ❤️ #jhud #billnye #lindapistun #lindaslab #science
