[ComSciCon Houston @ComSciConHou]

Our first panel, Science in Multimedia, was all about how to use media (visual, written, oral, and more!) to convey science to the public and to other scientists. Thank you to @FromTheLabBench, Ryan Nini, and Kimberly Mankiewics for traveling to Houston for our event!

PWC lecturer Burke Nixon on Nick Hornby's DICKENS AND PRINCE:

[The Millions @The_Millions]

“Dickens and Prince remind us that perfectionism isn’t an absolute requirement of creative genius—or of creativity in general.”

I thought about what rules I would like to set for dealing with #ChatGPT in my courses. The result is a short document that deals more generally with the use of aids (media and tools):

It's supposed to be a "Graphical Syllabus," but every time I say it in my head it's a "Graphical Abstract."

If science articles can have graphical abstracts, why not a science course? #GraphicalSyllabus #AcademicTwitter

[Rice VCS @VCSRice]

We're excited to announce our speakers and workshop leaders for #RiceVCS 2023!

Our keynote speaker this year is @jschwabish. Dr. Schwabish is founder of the data visualization and presentation skills firm, @PolicyViz, and a Senior Fellow at the @urbaninstitute.

[Dr. Allegra Smith @argella]

Some semesters you’re just not doing the innovative pedagogy thing, and that’s cool! Rock what you know! Phone it in! Know your worth! Protect your peace! Also the assignments and readings that are “same old, same old” to you are still new to the students, so be kind to yrself ❤️

We at the PWC always enjoy reviewing this annual list!

Experiments in writing space, I have very quickly taken to writing in the gallery spaces I am writing about. Making a writing settlement with table/chair/laptop. It alters your ways of being, which impact on ways of seeing. I have began at @The_Herbert @_alicherri

@biblioracle Here's an op-ed from one of our writing faculty that makes similar point about the learning that ChatGPT cannot replace.

@James_M_Cochran That was our first thought as well! Also believe Smith may be conflating 'writing center' and first-year writing program, though those two organizations appear to be more intertwined at Chicago than at some institutions.

“This idea of writing as a vehicle for discovery is common among teachers, but it seems to be largely absent from the most dire predictions about the fate of college writing.” A thoughtful reflection on writing and thinking. ⁦@PWC_RiceU⁩ https://t.co/gKGePGY5Sn
