TMW one of the topics of your dissertation is significantly more horse shit than chicken shit (modified from Urra et al 2019)

3 Main components to forming #habits ( @habitica ):
1. Name your target goals and make them small.
2. Create cues in your environment.
3. Reinforce yourself with small, regularly timed rewards.

This Friday, we're having an excellent scientist come speak about vaccine hesitancy and denial. If you're free at 3:00 PM, you should come check it out in GLCH 123. If not, check out this review article.

I can’t remember ever not knowing that college Professors had PhDs and that they earned that degree by going to graduate school after finishing college. Imagine what a difference that made versus folks who put this together while undergraduates.

Does anybody else get tempted to color in the random doodles on student assignments?

With the large number of SRSs available, make sure you choose one that offers more than multiple choice responses. Learning outcomes are improved with open-ended formative assessment.

Cool article about #gamifying classroom mechanics, but doesn't really say if it had an effect or not @lee_wpi. I've been thinking about using @habitica to set up something similar. #STEM #Education

If at first you don't succeed, remember that Zoe Saldana starred in crossroads with Brittany Spears, but now she's an Avenger.

#Gamification is a powerful tool to increase engagement and learning outcomes in #STEM #education. Here's a quick introduction to what gamification is and how it works:

TMW your gaming habit collides with your career interests #gamification #stem

[t4d_gaming @T4D_Gaming]

@corvidsun Agreed! Focus on the transferable skills, especially since #gamification is becoming such a powerful tool in work and education. I teach microbiology and leverage game design principles to create better lesson plans and learning outcomes for my students. #STEM

@AOC I misread that as "amphibious plan" which may also be in our future. I support both ambitious and amphibious solutions to global warming.

@AcademicMarcusJ @AcademicsSay I've always joke about doing a team huddle with my students before every lab, but this year was different. They jumped up and started one. So proud.

Setting aside the inherent ableism of classroom tech bans (and the need for faculty to adapt teaching practice to reality), how cool is it to be able to say: "Great question! I don't know - somebody google that" and then everyone learns together!?

Last paper of my PhD accepted, 3.5 years out and embarking on a new faculty job. Sometimes, papers and projects take longer than you expect and plan for. It is not a sign that you are a failure. I really could have used hearing this early in my postdoc, hopefully it resonates.
