Mainly here for #2025MMM
I guess there’s a reason there’s a saying in the bear world: “if it’s white, goodnight.”

Goodnight #2025MMM, I’ll see ya next year in hopes I get the school staff trophy back 😭
POLAR BEAR IS THE #2025MMM CHAMPION!!!!

If any science teachers in k-12 need something to do with their classes after #2025MMM, check out the Algalita Lab’s Wayfinder Society! My classes are taking part in the Earth Month Classroom Challenge

#2025MMM tonight’s the night my classes’ leaderboard will cause big feelings. The kid who’s been number 1 the entire tournament has the buffalo beating the polar bear… in the arctic. He’s had a near-perfect bracket thus far.

#2025MMM bracket? Checked.
I❤️Science hoodie from NSTA? On.
Caffeine? Consumed.
Ramen? Cooking.

So ready for tonight’s MMM interactions (because running away is scientifically accurate and not every interaction will involve a fight)

Tonight we answer the question of if the polar bear was affected by the shrew’s venom or not. This could break over half my school’s brackets…
