Hey Team Academia,
What resources would you share with Zach as he writes his first letters of recommendation?

Interesting resource available now: a collection of stories around science career transitions, conveyed through the journeys of a diverse set of science professionals in India. These career stories capture their unique journeys, including turning points along their career transitions, or their 'IRIWI: I Realized I Wasn’t Interested' moments.

Wow! I never thought about things this way. The idea is that for some activities, you want to minimize the worst (eg FDA tries to prevent food poisoning), and some activities, you want to maximize the best (eg art, science). The former is a weak-link and the latter a strong-link problem.
I'm debating whether education is a strong-link or weak-link problem. I can see arguments either way, also are Ug/Grad opposite🤔.

Brandon has been posting some fantastic blog posts that demystify some of the tacit elements of higher ed and DH. Highly useful for students and for faculty/staff who support them: https://walshbr.com/blog/questions-to-ask-when-applying/

I'm super excited to receive funds from the Rackham graduate school to support my department's activities aimed to improve student peer mentoring and community.
We pair incoming students with a senior peer mentor. We provide funds for them to go out for coffee a couple of times a semester, and for all of the first years and their mentors to attend 'social circles' informal dinners to talk about rotations and other first-year topics.
So ppl are saying departments *can't* give tax advice because of liability.
I'm sorry but it's not tax advice if, when you send the notice of award to fellowship awardees, you say:
"Most fellowships are subject to income tax. UofX does not withhold income taxes on fellowships. Please consult a tax professional before the end of this *calendar* year to ensure you have made suitable adjustments to your other withholdings or estimated taxes."

My first consulting client with Inkcap was the Graduate School at Syracuse University. The project involved building a website to house resources for innovative dissertations (with a ready-to-use rubric, examples, interviews, best practices, and more. It has over half a million views so far 🤯

While I’m waiting for some media to warm up, I’m going to repost a thread I originally posted elsewhere about an activity I developed for our incoming graduate students this year.
After hearing a lot about the hidden curriculum, I wanted to provide some mechanism to ‘onboard’ our incoming students on topics related to success in graduate school that belong to the hidden curriculum. Long thread. #Mentorship #HiddenCurriculum #GraduateEducation

So that others can locate us based upon our common interests, our hashtags are: #DevBio #DevBiol #stemcells #Epigenetics #autism #neuroscience #braindevelopment #brain #Transcription #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #Regenerative #Medicine #PrecisionMedicine #epilepsy #intellectualdisability #Pluripotency #Development #graduateeducation #rare #disorders #genomics #human #biology

Placing a list of hashtags of interest in your profile keeps them conveniently located for future use, but they won't return your profile to someone else's search using those same terms. If you want people to find you through your common interests, then you will need to place that hashing list inside a post, like so.
