We are so excited for GRADx next Thursday! Hope you can all make it out to support these amazing graduate students. We had fun putting together Facebook video spots for the presenters: Matt, AJ, Elizabeth, Minerva, Antonio, and Zoe (posting later today).
Good science happens because of good people – thoughts on coauthorship - The Lab and Field Blog - "It’s not advice, or meant to be prescriptive, but is more about the ethos that we (my coauthors and I) have tried to adopt over the last 15 years."
Teaching the skill of learning to learn - Inside Higher Ed - "When it comes to the science of learning, one key practice is to make learning cognitively demanding."
Photogrammetry insights - Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna Laboratory - Oregon Ph.D. candidate Leila Lemos gives some insights into how they are representing their data using R. Awesome write up! "Science can be challenging, both when interpreting data or learning a new command language, but it is all worth it in the end when we produce results we know we can trust."
Othering ourselves from the research community in teaching-focused institutions - Small Pond Science - "I’ve been working to build the case that I, and all of my colleagues at teaching-focused universities, are not only on the same side of Team Science, but we are actually all members of Team Sciences."
Navigating first-gen career pressures - Inside Higher Ed - "In fact, whether you’re a first-gen graduate student or not, many doctoral students face pressures from their families to move closer to home; to provide support, financial or otherwise; or to pursue a particular kind of career that would guarantee stability, prestige or monetary reward."
Feather collections and stressed-out owls - Inspiration Dissemination - Learn about Oregon State research assistant Ashlee Mikkelsen's work with spotted owls in the PNW.
Is email making professors stupid? It used to simplify crucial tasks. Now it’s strangling scholars’ ability to think. - The Chronicle Review - “I have been a happy man ever since January 1, 1990, when I no longer had an email address. I’d used email since about 1975, and it seems to me that 15 years of email is plenty for one lifetime.”
A new replication study revives the question: Is taking notes by hand really better for students? - Medium Education
CONGRATULATIONS! You got an interview for a grad program! But now what? - Margarita Hernandez, Anthropology Ph.D. Student at Penn State
