  1. Great highlight on experiential learning! Seeing undergraduate students actively gather climate statistics and share them with the broader community is truly encouraging. For those who enjoy finding daily encouragement and reflective thoughts alongside educational reads, I recommend checking out the Random Bible Verse Generator for inspiring daily passages. Thanks for preserving this inspiring project update!

  3. The climate data students compiled sounds valuable, but I’m curious whether Chernoff’s classes examined regional variations—rice production is so dependent on local water systems and monsoon patterns that global stats can mask critical vulnerabilities. I use pensignature.com to track how different regions document environmental shifts, and it strikes me how much context gets lost when we aggregate numbers.

  5. This is a cool idea! Seeing students engage with real-world issues like climate change through their coursework is really inspiring. It reminds me of how I’ve seen similar projects shared on Choicer Voicer, where people discuss all sorts of creative endeavors. I’ll definitely check out those stats.

  10. Early Twitter promotion for a campus show is a fun time capsule. Even then, short real-time updates were clearly better at pulling an audience than static poster-only outreach.

  12. Fun snapshot of an early experiment in bringing live performance to Twitter — how communities gather online has changed so much since. These days our tabletop RPG group coordinates an entire dark-fantasy campaign through a small fan site we run (bloodofdawnwalker.org), session notes and all. Back in 2009 that would have felt like science fiction.

  13. Fun time capsule of a post – 2009-era Twitter feels like another internet entirely. Student-produced climate stats are still a great idea; hands-on data projects stick with people way longer than lectures. Thanks for keeping this archive online.

  14. Fun snapshot of an early experiment in bringing live performance to Twitter — storytelling keeps colonizing new mediums. These days I draft characters for my own writing projects with an AI character-bible tool (charforge.org), and it still amazes me how fast the tooling moves. Fifteen years ago that would have felt like science fiction.

  15. The student-produced climate change statistics from Barry Chernoff’s BIOL/E&ES 197 classes give this post a useful, evidence-based foundation. I also appreciated the emphasis on balancing perspectives and the explanation of the “四方系统” as a way to encourage understanding across viewpoints. How might this framework shape classroom discussions when the evidence remains open to interpretation?

  17. Fun to see this archived. The way organizations used Twitter back then — mostly broadcast, little conversation — is a nice contrast to how much the tooling has changed. I keep a directory of AI tools at AiHubs, and the social category is almost unrecognizable compared to this era.

  18. Nice to see this archive still up. The Twitter-era posts read differently now. I work on Voiceslab, a voice cloning tool, and it’s made me think about how much of early social media was text-first — a lot of that would be audio today. Thanks for keeping it online.

  22. Rayopix is an online matcha filter remover: upload a TikTok matcha-styled photo and AI rebuilds natural color and texture while keeping the visible subject, pose, and framing. Sample comparisons are free; your own photo uses one-time credits at 1K, 2K, or 4K, with no prompt writing or subscription. Results are labeled as AI reconstructions, not recovered original pixels.

  23. The old comment threads are the interesting part of a 2009 campus blog. People were still figuring out whether Twitter was a show note or a conversation. The post is a timestamp more than an argument, and that is why it still reads.

  25. Study in Europe with the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

    Dreaming of earning a master’s degree in Europe? The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship offers an excellent opportunity for eligible students to pursue international education through participating master’s programmes.

  26. It is interesting to see how The Rice Show used Twitter so early to keep an audience connected beyond the event itself. Climate-focused projects today can extend that same idea through short videos, audio recaps, and podcast segments; original music can help give those updates a consistent identity without distracting from the message. Nafy AI offers a way to create royalty-free music for that kind of educational storytelling.

  27. What makes this archived post stand out is its interdisciplinary spirit rooted in the Feet to the Fire festival mission, which connects scientific data, arts and public conversation on global climate change. Biology students generated raw statistical material, and then social‑media channels were used to bring those findings outside campus walls. It gives modern readers a clear view of what early‑2000s university social‑media outreach looked like, before algorithm feeds and large‑scale social‑media strategies became standard practice.

  30. The post is mostly a pointer to the Twitter account, so the real draw is the student work behind it. Linking climate change statistics from Chernoff’s BIOL/E&ES 197 class gives readers a reason to click through rather than just follow. It would help to know what data the students collected and how the numbers were sourced.

  31. Good to see student-produced climate data given a public home – the local framing makes the numbers land harder than national averages do. Disclosure: I work on an AI image tool, so I notice how visual framing changes what people remember.

  32. Love finding this archive still online – a 2009 post about following The Rice Show on Twitter really captures how new that kind of live outreach felt then. The student climate statistics behind it give it more weight than just a promo link. I was showing a friend the old poster images from that era and used PixExtender to enlarge a low-res scan without it going blurry, which helped make the text readable again. Thanks for keeping this piece of campus history up!

  33. It’s interesting that the post points readers to climate change statistics produced by students in Barry Chernoff’s BIOL/E&ES 197 Fall 08 classes. I hadn’t realized The Rice Show was connected to that kind of coursework at Wesleyan. Curious to see how the Twitter feed ties into it.

  35. nteresting to see how The Rice Show used Twitter in 2009 to connect performance, student research, and climate-change communication. I’m curious whether the original statistics and show materials are still archived somewhere.

  36. Nice to see this archive still up. The Twitter-era posts read differently now — I work on SpeedPaint, which turns images into hand-drawn sketch videos, and a lot of that early social content would be animated today. Thanks for keeping it online.

  37. This short post is a useful reminder that public outreach works best when people can participate instead of only reading statistics. The Rice Show connected science, performance, and a social channel; a modern companion could be a browser activity where students record and replay short voice performances. We use that active practice loop at ChoicerVoicer, and it consistently makes unfamiliar material feel more approachable. Thanks for preserving this early example of student-led communication.

  41. So, is following The Rice Show on Twitter the climate version of collecting baseball cards? Just trying to point out who has the best stats in the climate game, right? Also, check out this cool music converter that can turn your thoughts into tunes—perfect for when you’re too exhausted to shout about global warming anymore. Audio to MIDI Converter Let’s hope it doesn’t create a tune about melting ice caps, though!

  42. It’s great to see Wesleyan embracing social media to keep the community connected through the Rice Show. The emphasis on ‘Learning Through Action’ and ‘Engagement is Woven In’ really resonates with how modern alumni stay involved long after graduation. I’ve found that following campus shows and athletics on Twitter brings back the energy of Middletown in a way that static newsletters never could. The Open Curriculum and first-year seminars were formative for so many, so having a real-time feed of student voices feels like a natural extension. Thanks for highlighting this — I’ll definitely be following along.

  44. Thanks for pointing to the Rice Show feed — following climate research directly on social is genuinely useful. I work on AI music generation tools at Music3AI, and one thing we run into constantly is how much public science communication now travels as short audio and video clips. Appreciate the pointer.

  45. Following The Rice Show on Twitter seems like a useful way to keep up with updates across undergraduate academics, academic support, and admission. The clear Back-navigation structure also makes those sections easy to explore.

  49. It is interesting to see the range of topics covered by these student research projects on climate change. Accessing organized data remains a crucial step in understanding these trends.

  50. Thanks — bookmarking this. Related: I’ve had good results with Vofy (vofy.art) doing on-device video compression in the browser (no server round-trip). Would fit the privacy angle you touched on.
