Excited to share I was one of four graduate students selected for the TRACER travel grant. I will be spending 3 weeks in London collaborating with a team of engineering education researchers! https://t.co/x43cnSCoMe

[The International Society of Nonbinary Scientists @ISNBS_]

Our first symposium is this weekend! Check out these three public flash talk events where nonbinary researchers from across scientific disciplines will present their work.

Engineering education folks, if you're going to ASEE and want to chat about social capital, trans studies, nonbinary engineers, survey development or narrative inquiry, let's meet up!! #engineeringeducation #nonbinary #stemeducation #ASEE

Did you know that family messages, encouragement, and assets increase the odds of students expressing STEM career aspirations by about 40%? See my new article based on a nationwide study of over 15,000 college-goers in @JDHEtweets. https://t.co/G8S0E5c7fJ

It's official, my Twitter has been updated, I'm a Dr!

[Purdue Engineering Education @PurdueENE]

The team from @UCL crossed the pond this week to visit with @PurdueENE as they collaborate on emerging ways to educate today's undergraduate engineering students.

Jude and I got married today during Lafayette's #50501protest. The meaning is clear. We have the right to love.

@awkwardalbert1 Yes, please eat real food. With fiber.

[Corey J. Miles @CoreyMiles__]

it’s not just that folks at Howard are doing a lot of brilliant research, but often without the financial support they deserve, teaching while carrying the emotional responsibilities that black faculty often do, and doing all this while black centered education is being attacked

Excited to be presenting my social capital review tomorrow!

SUPER excited to share my first journal publication will be a FIRST AUTHOR publication. Four years in the making (!!) my systematic review on assessment methods and operationalizations for social capital in HE will be published!!

If you're still using raw R outputs for presentations, it's time for an upgrade! Tools like gtsummary bring your statistical results to life, making them much more digestible for non-technical audiences.

While base R functions like summary(fit) work well for statisticians, they can be too complex for stakeholders who aren’t familiar with the detailed output. The tbl_regression() function from gtsummary makes it easy to present regression results clearly.

In addition, gtsummary is highly versatile - it’s not just limited to linear regression. You can apply it to generalized linear models, survival analyses, and more. The package even allows you to include p-values, confidence intervals, and other important statistics directly within the tables, helping you to better communicate statistical results.

Here are a few standout benefits:
✅ Simplified output that’s easier for stakeholders to understand
✅ Works seamlessly with a variety of models
✅ Customizable tables with key statistics like p-values, confidence intervals, and more

The visualization included here was originally shared in a recent post by Dr. Alexander Krannich.

Submitted my first grant (with my awesome advisor) and feeling very hopeful 🤞 Send us luck!

[Adrian Nat Gentry, PhD @nat_gentry]

Hi all, I'm looking for studies on queer/transgender students in higher ed and their participation in labor movements/unionization efforts. Working through interviews and notice all of our grad students participate in their unions. Any specific researchers come to mind??
