@J1T1 @masatoshi_sato Perhaps this leads to a good question for us to discuss at this event: "Should teachers be required to do research? If so, at which levels?"

[Learning Symposium @LearningSympos1]

@masatoshi_sato Also free in person on campus at MSU! ;) (Snacks included!)

[Masatoshi Sato @masatoshi_sato]

My goals: Raise awareness of the research-pedagogy divide/dialogue while not losing my researcher friends (I will be highly critical of researchers, myself included)! Free via Zoom!
