I teach my methods students to use a paper notebook, too. Anyone have good references or guides like what Hadley requests? #AcademicSky
Can anyone suggest a good guides for using lab notebooks? (Like the traditional pen and paper bench scientist ones, not computational). Like I want to know what you're expected to write down, how you capture and transform the really important stuff, how you refer back to them etc etc

Talking Points👇 seems like a cool tool for teaching controversial topics...it's maybe less intense than the debates I'm fond of but also engaged. Thanks for sharing.

There is a lot of discussion about how to teach controversial topics in classrooms. One of my go-to formats for values clarification exercises* are Talking Points, originally designed by Neil Mercer.

Nine years ago this very day, the college I taught at, lived in, announced its closure. I am blessed to have survived, but the trend of small college closures has accelerated. Learn what happened and why it happened in “Requiem for a College.”

Had my 2.5 hour seminar today. Usually begin with an informal discussion, and then, when they start to peter out, I will move to a formal lecture. We stayed in the informal lane until the bitter end. #AcademicSky

Got an R&R on the first paper to come out of my dissertation. Too busy today to digest what my co-author and I need to revise, but I'm going to count it as a win today.

New study doesn't surprise me much (but is interesting).

For dog stereotypes, is some truth, some exaggeration. As we often find for some human stereotypes.

Pleased to see a paper from the SIT crowd on individual differences in being groupy.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

IMO, SIT has long dismissed individual differences in group behaviour, in ways that set back our understanding.
Who cares about groups? The Group Orientation Scale measures differences in the general motivation for group belonging and concern for group goals
