It was so fun to invite @gserratomarks to lead a workshop about disability in STEM & accessible #scicomm at #ComSciCon22. Gabi & I met as @ComSciCon attendees back in 2017, so this feels very full circle. It was also just a stellar (see what I did there @stellatecomms?!) session!

This raises questions about the generalizability of research based on student convenience samples. We echo the recommendations many before us to keep seeking representative samples and urge policy-makers to recognise the importance of reducing the student sampling bias.

How well do students represent the general population when it comes to math and reading?🧵🧵👇

We found in every country the students performed significantly better on reading and math than other young people and the general population. See the paper for just how big these differences are.

Great (PAID!!🎉🎉) opportunity for Mac students to develop their science communication skills

@ShappLing It can help to have someone else read them then summarise the main themes and feedback for you. Takes some of the bite off and makes it a little more palatable
