@naomibot I'm also interested. I taught a nonmajors Plants and Societies course last year, and incorporated some resources (e.g., Braiding Sweetgrass), but I definitely could do much better.
Funding Alert! 🚨
Field Inclusive is now offering a $500 Research Grant to support field work in the natural sciences! The application is open & can be downloaded at https://t.co/tgdHRDLQzT. The deadline for this 1st grant is February 1, 2023.
Please share this far & wide!
We (Pacific University in Oregon, a PUI/SLAC) have searches for two tenure track positions--in Animal Physiology and Evolution. Please share with anyone who might be interested! All the details in our long ad, including application links. https://t.co/vyuPy57iFa
An alum (and one of my former undergrad researchers) @MaxwellCohenND has a new article out about routine vaccinations for kids! Check it out! @PacificUBiology@pacificu https://t.co/dbu63dDtPP
My nonmajors did creative projects, researching a plant and its role in human histories. Finally posting a fantastic video one of my students did about the history of wheat--while baking bread. Posted with student's permission. https://t.co/pFCQEtad5W @PacificUBiology
My nonmajors did creative projects in January, researching a plant and its role in human histories/societies. One student made an amazing stop-action video about bananas! Shared with permission: https://t.co/chsodM6LzX
@EntoPOC @tania_n_kim Looks like eligibility is just students at about 50 specific big universities. Am I understanding that correctly? Don't want to share with my PUI students if they're not eligible. Thanks!
@EcoEvoLab My uni reimburses individuals within 5-10 days. Plenty of other things they do poorly with budgets and business office, but if they can do this seems like other (bigger, better funded, etc.) places should be able to also
Huge congratulations to Alissa Cole and Mason Hoskins, who won top poster prize (out of >30) in the Ecology/Evolution/Biodiversity section of the @MurdockTrust College Science Research Conference last weekend. Great study, and fantastic presentation! @PacificUBiology@pacificu
Congratulations to Alexis Khauv, Meghan Chang, and Anna Klein, whose capstone poster won an award at the Pacific Undergrad Research Conference! Great work! @PacificUBiology@pacificu
@JNolan_1925 @Momademia Thank you for this thread. My U has standing committee meetings 4-6 pm, and I've been told by my dean that I should just rearrange life to go to them (I haven't, though I did once attend by phone from a playground). Outside confirmation that this is crazy is validating.
@EcoEvoLab Could I share this with undergrads at my PUI? I think grad school is super mysterious to them, and having a resource like this could help cement some of the information I provide (and some that I haven't thought to include yet...)
