Faculty beliefs about who can be successful in STEM can undermine or promote opportunities for first generation college students to develop an identity as a scientist that would motivate long-term STEM persistence.

Students from racially minoritized backgrounds who perceive their faculty mentor to be more culturally aware experience more positive social climates in STEM labs & identify more as scientists. @Ivan_AHernandez

Time for my biannual tweet!
New paper at PNAS @PNASNews with @Ivan_AHernandez, Marlis Schneider, Rebecca Ryan, @ariel_kalil & Mesmin Destin! We examined how & when affluent parents hoard educational/economic opportunities for their kids at the expense of lower income families 1/6
We are hiring a postdoc at San Diego State for a one-year position focused on data analysis and dissemination for our NSF-funded project, Broadening participation and the culture of undergraduate research experiences. We're excited to grow our team!

Today, I wanted to highlight an underutilized model of motivation & belonging by @DustinThoman and colleagues. It pulls together many constructs that are often considered separately (belonging, motivation, interest, stereotype threat, self-regulation, etc) https://t.co/NWykmm3bdn

Behind the Paper! We just launched a blog post describing, in brief, our paper recently published in Nature Human Behaviour. @dm_silverman & I wrote a short summary of the work with the major takeaways. It is public so no paywall here! Please share widely

It's not everyday that my two lives intersect but when they do it's pretty special 🤎 Published an OpEd today on @CNNOpinion about race, gymnastics, and the power and possibility of representation.

Does motivation pay off equitably for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous (BLI) students and their White, Asian, and Asian-American peers?

Importantly, we highlight systemic barriers that prevent faculty from developing such materials. We also offer policy recommendations that would support faculty researchers to nourish the development of their research labs.
We (@DustinThoman, Jessi L. Smith, Miguel T. Villodas) wrote about creating inclusive research labs with student onboarding materials for @NatRevPsych. We are incredibly grateful to our editor @TeresaSchubert.

In class, faculty review course syllabi, expectations & learning aims. Can we replicate this process formally within research labs?
We suggest that research faculty members should be supported to develop thoughtful, supportive, and informative onboarding materials for their lab.
