The #BioMLab team meeting ended early.
So am I doing a bit of work until my next scheduled task?
Nope.
Iβm sitting outside for the remainder of the time, looking at a maple tree that has a bird in it, sharing it with you.
No one should punish you for working efficiently. Donβt do more work. Your time and health are valuable.

Okay, I'm glowing with pride and I can't contain myself.
Just found out that I'm maintaining my 1:1 ratio of PhD grads to prof jobs, within one year of graduation.
Another job offer for the #BioMLab!
What do you do to support your (or others') PhD and Masters students to take their next steps?

It's Reference Letter Updating Week in the #BioMLab. We're looking at the most recent letters, and sharing our updates. It's a time to reflect on our achievements and celebrate the wins.
It's also a time to accept that we are awesome on 'paper' and in the eyes of others. It helps.

Grad student: does the department have an emergency loan program? I need groceries and can pay back in 2 wks
Answer: No. The proposal submitted was sent up to the college and it didnβt happen
But hereβs what you do have: an emergency loan program for the #BioMLab
PIs, hereβs how to set it up π

Looks like fun!
Very much looking forward to the book.
Students this year in the #BioMLab identified βwritingβ as one of two skills they would like to dive into learning more about during our group meetings. Iβm really excited to learn more.

Long list, but one of the most impactful:
A short term emergency loan program in the #BioMLab.
Only one question asked: when do you think you can repay it?
Up to $1000.
It has been used and never abused.

#HigherEd engagement with Citizen Science projects is an effect way of increasing access to experiential learning
And it was an amazing way to support student mental health
Like, stunning!
We were overwhelmed with the feedback from students and @lizdporter, from the #BioMLab is talking about her MSc research on @squirrellifesci at the Teaching and Learning Innovations conference

Choosing your #PhDLife pathway is sometimes not a choice. Do you get a Master's first? Go straight to PhD? Roll up once you've started?
@A_Quirky_Human, former MSc student in the #BioMLab has all the answers.
They looked at inputs and outcomes of a grad #HigherEd and WOW we learned some stuff!!

Next up at the Teaching and Learning Conference is... me, from the #BioMLab
We did a study on HOW & WHY students reach out to instructors outside of class. What are the #HigherEd barriers?
The idea came when I was setting my office hours for a course
@UofGCBS @IntUGrativeBiol
ALT Title slide: Hi, Iβm Sho Jacobs. Itβs so wonderful to be here. Letβs think about how and why students access their instructors outside of class time Bailey Bingham, Victoria Rea, Alex Smith, and Lisa Robertson joined me on this journey. Iβm so grateful to them.

Hi there #HigherEd folks. This is @SimoneLBoivin. She is doing research in the #BioMLab in student attitudes towards learning transferable skills.
She just presented a peak into her data and kicked some serious science-ass!
Give her a follow if you want to stay connected :)

Day 2 of the Teaching and Learning Innovations conference and @SimoneLBoivin from the #BioMLab is sharing her research about student motivations and attitudes about learning transferable skills.
Why?
Because how they feel about learning them should inform how we teach them!
oooo, and check out this transdisciplinary research team!
