Planning to teach your students effective study skills? I co-authored (w Guy Boysen) a complete lesson plan for doing that with slides, activities, & assessments. Part of the American Psychological Association Intro Psych Initiative, it's all free: apa.org/ed/precollege/…

Happy to share this article on incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion into an undergraduate science course! Learned a lot about qualitative research methodologies and enjoyed thinking about these tough and important topics. doi.org/10.1002/sce.21…

Dr. Robin Young inspired me to launch my own little lending library of teaching resources. I’m starting with these - come borrow one! For now they’re in my office - Biosciences 2128. UBC Biology University of British Columbia

Learning how to learn & teach It’s been a ~decade of accelerating bidirectional communication between cognitive science and classroom teaching. And it seems that the field is ready for a leap forward. Some thoughts on the basis of recent selected key publications🧵⬇️

In print! Another super collab with Deakin IFM and Madeleine Schultz to co-design this guided inquiry for students designing more sustainable #concrete, linking to #SDGs. Teacher and student docs in supp info. Give it a go w/ students and let us know! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I get lots of people asking me how a chemistry curriculum can be 'decolonised', so I thought I'd make a short thread with examples. Firstly, decolonisation is not about removing science from the curriculum, it is about giving students more context (see: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…)

Involving students in research on #HigherEducation is both important and challenging. In our new paper we describe a success story at University of British Columbia. Looking forward to your thoughts. journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/TLI/… #SOTL Teach&Learn Inquiry UBC CTLT Technion Israel

Spectacular example of the Matilda effect (achievements of #WomeninScience becoming invisible in the record) 😠 Dr Carolyn Bertozzi also received 2022 #ChemNobel but is missing from this tweet by Chemical Science - flagship journal for Royal Society of Chemistry🤔 Such sloppy work #DoBetter

Heading home from a lovely Program Review visit at @mountroyal4u! I’m inspired by the engaged students, dedicated staff, and committed faculty I met. Thanks for having me, Dr. Melanie Rathburn!

Very excited to learn of the upcoming launch of a new Journal, SoTL Africa, “purposefully positioned to produce or create learning and teaching ideas situated in the ethos for transforming conditions for ourselves, our countries, Africa and our World.” #ISSOTL22

I'll be giving a talk this Friday, Nov 11, "at" Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering on mobility impairment in chemistry. It starts 12 Pacific/8pm London. The talk is virtual, on Zoom, and all are welcome. At its essence, this talk will be a practical guide for disabled chemists, supervisors, and allies.

This December 2nd, join colleagues from across Canadian higher education at #NationalDialoguesAndAction to critically address: - structural ableism - inclusive curriculum and research supports - inclusive infrastructure and design Free registration: uoft.me/8uv
