We want to give a special shout-out to Dr. David Stroupe, whose blog post was featured by AAAS ARISE today. The blurb for Stroupe's post is as follows: "Dr. David Stroupe discusses how teacher educators can better prepare and support new teachers to enter and succeed in underserved schools. He advocates for and explains how STEM teacher educators can “disrupt” the way new teachers think about STEM fields, teaching, and inequities that privilege certain knowledge and forms of participation.

Santorini, with its gorgeous sunsets and blue waters, attracts around 2 million tourists per year. But what many people don’t know is that the island is an active volcano. In fact, in 1950, lava flowed from the island, and in 2012, the volcano caused a series of small earthquakes. This activity caused Dr. Emilie Hooft, an Associate Professor of Earth Sciences and the University of Oregon, to make a trip to Greece with the hopes of finding out a little more about the volcano.
