Supporting the radical notion that students are people. This account tweets posts from the Science For Everyone newsletter.

You know that thing where REUs pick the students who are out-of-the-box ready for grad school instead of giving opportunities to those who need them the most? Yeah, that thing. 🧪

Does promoting a goal of "science literacy" help people learn more about science?

After 10+ years, @hormiga has decided to stop writing here.

He’s starting a new newsletter! It’s Science For Everyone. Just like Small Pond, it’s free to subscribe. Same great stuff, new venue.

Here’s where to go: https://t.co/ZPbBETtcP1

"REU programs are designed to extract the “high quality” students out of teaching-focused institutions which is a rather gross state of affairs, and this does nothing to build the research capacity at the campus that is supporting this student for the other 9 months of the year"

[Dr. Abigail M Hayes @ArthropodAbbey]

these terms were confusing to me when I first started in academia - I went from a PUI/SLAC (@stmarysca ) to a pretty sizable R1 (@WSUPullman ) and had to learn things like not to take classes on opposite ends of campus in back to back slots my first semester of grad school 😅🏃‍♀️👟

@hormiga I did this multiple times. Loved it, & strongly recommend my students do it now. Labour was minimal, there were perks (access to snacks, chance to make social connections, sometimes $/journal subscriptions). As former 1st gen/self financing student, disagree w/ this take.

@hormiga Hmm I have a different take on this. Volunteering at meetings was a great way to network/start to get known within an organization early in my career, in addition to getting registration covered/discounted!

[Dr. Bryan H. Juarez (He/They) @bhjuarez]

@hormiga Other conferences have similar programs and require <5 hours of help! 10 is so much over only a few days

[Dr. Hilary Rose Dawson @HilaryRoseD]

@hormiga @fungi_lover What especially bothers me is students have to pay a $300 fee for registration before they know if they can volunteer for a refund.

Beloved -

If you teach 7-8 courses a year, stop taking advice on course management and academic productivity from people teaching 2 courses a year.

Your ministry ain't their ministry.

Why doesn’t NSF redact horrible GRFP reviews that demonstrate overt bias? https://t.co/NXC6NDP2qh

Lynn rules. This is a great job if you are interested in the PUI faculty career path.
