"In 2023, creativity became the second-most in-demand skill, after analytical thinking, across industries..." and "Researchers who understand the full scientific process, including its creative side, are more likely to have confidence in their self-efficacy for research and their identity as a scientist. As a result, such researchers are likely to have greater work satisfaction and a better chance of remaining in science long term than those who are not trained in creativity." @ItaiYanai et al. - See below for the full article!

📢READ THIS! NEW task force to help the incoming government update the U.S. vision for science and tech (VAST) chaired by @AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh who said, "What got us [America's S&T Enterprise] to this preeminent position won't keep us in it going forward."
And crucial to that vision will be the human infrastructure required to realize that new vision... which we are working to accomplish through @SOA_2050!

In the 20 years since the term “microplastics” was first coined, a rapidly growing body of research has consistently shown how pervasive and problematic the pollutants have become.
A new #ScienceReview provides an overview of this research and the progress made in understanding #microplastics. bit.ly/4doTICB
I need a copy of this poster from the 1950s… Seems just as relevant today as it was then! #America#BeKind

When I review the records of Vice Presidents in our country's history, I cannot find a single past VP who has been as accomplished as @VP Harris.
If you observe negative thoughts about her I encourage you to be curious about that feeling. What makes you, or them, say that? Maybe you're experiencing the common backlash that women and women of color receive in leadership. And maybe, a review of her impact could change your view. Checking ourselves is the only way we grow.
LGBTQ college students are almost twice as likely as their non-LGBTQ peers to experience bullying, harassment, or assault at school. The most frequent perpetrators are other students (78%), followed by faculty, staff, coaches, and administrators (14%). bit.ly/LGBTQ4yrcollege
