Very useful advice to our @McMasterMcCMacB cohort on branding your skills for a non-academic audience.

[Academic Exit @academic_exit]

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*.

Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak, including bullets which I used to describe my PhD work in my first corporate resume:

This is solid advice to students for the nuts and bolts of how to study. For more on the theory and practice of how to learn, check out our Web module on the Science of Learning https://t.co/KBgQfbDjoN

Your teaching can grow with thoughtful feedback from students. Some of the "anonymous" notes I was given mid-lecture from my 11 year old and her friends who sat in on my lecture on Attention today.

[Joe Kim @ProfJoeKim]

Just getting ready to teach today.

Review week for #MacIntroPsych and I advise students to trust the study process you have invested in and block out last minute chatter of everyone gathering at the MidTerm. Listen to an inspiring playlist instead. I like the (original) Superman theme. What song do you suggest?

[Joe Kim @ProfJoeKim]

@Avis_Favaro @McMasterU Nothing can replace the excitement of a live classroom. But...during the pandemic I made several conscientious decisions to "liven" up my online lectures. I had 2 online TAs that subbed as volunteers for demos, I asked provocative Qs and highlighted replies, had AMA sessions.

[Joe Kim @ProfJoeKim]

...amazing activities emerged that at will integrate into future tutorials! The Amazing Action Potential Race, Can You Hear Better than a 1-Year Old?, Where's Waldo Visual Field? and more, coming soon!

[Joe Kim @ProfJoeKim]

I heard that if you give an assignment to smart and motivated people, cool things happen. In my Science of Teaching and Learning class, students were challenged to come up with a lab activity for a future #MacIntroPsych tutorial to collect data and test out competing hypotheses..

@jacasiegel The fact that lack of faculty training is the norm, inspired is to start the McCall McBain Postdoctoral Fellow Teaching and Leadership Program @McMasterU. We're investing in the next generation of faculty members. https://t.co/4G3rU49j1k

In a call when a random topic came up. What would be your deathbed msg?
