Want to get better at giving on-the-job training? Borrow from doctors training medical students and try the microskills approach.

Even if you have not done a lot of teaching before, using these 5 steps can help better you coach learners to become good practitioners themselves.

Everyone on social media should know about the Illusory Truth Effect

If you see something repeated enough times, it seems more true. Multiple studies show that it works on 85% of people. Worse, it still happens even if the information isn't plausible & even if you know better.

On this day in 1783, the Treaty of Paris officially ends the American War of Independence. The British delegation to the peace conference is so perturbed by their country's defeat that they refuse to pose for a painting of the signing ceremony.

🌟 A star is born!

Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

On this day in 1863, Union troops capture the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg after a 44-day siege. The victory leaves Union forces in control of the Mississippi River. "The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea," remarks Lincoln.

@BrentBeshore Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”: An amazing, Pulitzer-winning reconstruction of the lost intellectual world of the Founding generation, “Origins” remains essential for anyone interested in our politics today too.

@BrentBeshore Marc Bloch’s “Strange Defeat”: Bloch’s book set the example for an unflinching analysis of why his country failed in 1940. He had the courage to look into the abyss, and yet still fight. Bloch’s life as a citizen, scholar, and soldier sets the standard.

The economic returns to education are huge: this analysis of many papers concludes that the level of education accounts for 1/3 of the variation in earnings in the US & half the variation between countries. Also has a very good discussion on why learning, not signaling, matters.
