New pub alert‼️ Our study (@kimberlydtanner@JeffBioEd) reveals how healthcare professionals find details & amount of content in A&P prerequisites as exclusionary, unmemorable, & irrelevant to their careers. Many implications for other STEM prerequisites!

Both @DaxOvid and I are so proud of our collaborator @__Ashhleyy_ for modeling how to bring positionality and vulnerability into #DBER presentations at #SABER2023! She’s on 🔥 🔥 🔥
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) engage large numbers of students in research, but how do teaching assistants impact student experiences in these courses??? Check out our new JRST paper to find out! @ber_pdx https://t.co/69pKcsNSIL
PSU’s Erin Shortlidge and collaborators have been awarded 2.8 million dollars from @NSF supporting a project to develop evidence-based, inclusive Teaching Assistant Teaching Professional Development (TA-TPD) programs for STEM departments across the country.https://t.co/59271V7gCp

@LalehEsmaili @CBELifescied @ber_pdx Thank you for your thoughtful question! The participants in our SIP group were involved with a variety of programs at our institution. Each program offers unique interventions, but I would say that they tend to focus on research experiences and mentoring.
Excited to share that my first first-author publication is out in @CBELifescied today! @ber_pdx and I worked alongside an amazing team of undergrads to examine STEM community college transfer students' adaptation to a 4-year university.
Check it out here! https://t.co/7NQm0GROoy
Super excited to share our new publication exploring how GTAs perceive their role in the CURE classroom. Shout-out to our terrific undergraduate co-author @JessicaCary70, for her first publication! We made a great team! @ber_pdx @psu_research@PSU_Biology https://t.co/BB3AnaUeoz
Coming up Sept 24th. Online with LSE's next FREE webinar: COVID-19 and STEM Undergraduates with Disabilities: Challenges Resulting from the Transition to Online Course Delivery

We are continuing our "A call to action: Striving for inclusion in academic biology" seminar series this year! Free virtual talks focused on issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Check out the line-up here: https://t.co/60rRe0Ut8Y Please retweet! All are invited!
Mark your calendars! Our next SABER seminar on striving for inclusion in academic biology is coming up on Thurs March 4th at 9am PT/10 MT/ 11 CT/ 12 ET! Dr. Mica Estrada will present on "The influence of kindness and community in broadening participation." Zoom link below.
Having your experiments not work as expected can be frustrating, but undergraduates in a research-based course reported that experiences of failure made their work feel like real science! Check out our new paper! https://t.co/Zz5STi0EAz @ber_pdx @psu_research@PSU_Biology
If you were not one of the 242 people who attended @saragoldrickrab 's incredibly informative seminar live, you can see the recording here: https://t.co/60rRe1c40w. This seminar highlighted how important it is to consider the economic challenges our students are facing!
Mark your calendars! SABER is sponsoring a virtual seminar series "Striving for inclusion in academic biology" that will be every other Thursday in Spring 2021 at 9 am PT. All sessions are virtual, free, and no registration is required. Please retweet and share.
Mark your calendars for the next talk in our striving for racial justice in academic biology seminar series: @LuisLeyvaEdu and @profnicolej will present on Nov 19th at 12 PT on Black women and belongingness in STEM. Here is the zoom link: https://t.co/GW09rFmTwX
