Academic recovery efforts need to be well-targeted, @libby_pier of @AnalyticsEA told @lrj417. “We don’t necessarily say everyone needs acceleration in all subjects for the next five years, but some kids will" https://t.co/EVsdIYd0cY

[soul nate @MNateShyamalan]

“if the government makes scientific papers free, how will journals pay experts to review submitted work?”

they don’t

“but how will they pay the editor who oversees review & curation?”

they don’t

“what about the authors whose work they publish?”

theyre literally charged $2000

@KnowledgeAll @DinkesRachel A needed perspective on the value of initiatives like NAEP—thanks for writing this, @DinkesRachel

[Knowledge Alliance @KnowledgeAll]

Check out KA President @DinkesRachel response to Al Kingsley's Ed Week article "Ignore NAEP. Better Yet, Abolish It." Dinkes affirms the importance of NAEP as a tool for examining the effects of education interventions and informing ed policy decisions. https://t.co/GMTXEfsS8S

@academic_exit @FromPhDtoLife Find organizations that interest and excite you, and reach out to people who work there for informational interviews. Outcomes are they ignore you, they teach you, or they hire you.

@FromPhDtoLife I also think that the pandemic has leveled the playing field in many academics’ minds. No longer can they claim ultimate flexibility when industry has as much or more plus way better pay and work/life balance.

[Dr. Libby Pier @libby_pier]

@FromPhDtoLife I’m seeing improvements in terms of PhDs in my field who are willing to jump into industry vs languishing in precarious academic roles. Individual advisors seem more open minded too. But systemically the anti-industry bias prevails (esp. at R1s in the US)

We are thrilled to be one of 10 teams who have moved on to the #pilot phase of the @xprize #DigitalLearningChallenge. Our project, in partnership with @EducationSC and @MarzanoResearch, will empower #teachers to test #evidencebased...

@FromPhDtoLife It’s incredibly wild! Nearly 5 years since I graduated 🤪 And so thankful for the great guidance and information I received!

[Kathryn Anne Edwards @keds_economist]

Results.
44% of STEM PhDs never go into TT academia
23% stay on the TT for the first 9 years
33% drop out of TT at some point
13% hop back in to TT

Most academicky disciplines are Social Sciences and Mathematics. Least are Engineering, ComSci, Psychology, Agriculture.
