(2/3) One really good options is holistic admissions (as opposed to stricter point-based or cutoff-based systems) like this one at #virginiatech (also true for their #undergrad admissions) https://graduateschool.vt.edu/admissions/admissions-holistic.html

how do you write "discussion boards are steaming hot dog shit invented by the most boring person in the world" respectfully for a student opinion survey? #college #discussionboard #canvas #undergrad #university

With so much conversation about fake imagery at present, it seems the right time to talk to @DeakinArtsEd #AIH238 students about ethical representation and the historical record.
Great to be able to introduce them to Frank Hurley via @statelibrarynsw.
What historical records do you use?

That's my #undergrad degree path now officially changed to BA (Hons) Arts and Humanities (Creative Writing). I did have (... and English Language) in the name but decided to drop that to focus on the #writing side of things. π

π₯"International students are welcome to apply"π₯
I cannot stress how fundamental undergrad research opportunities like this were for me. There are far too few open to international students, so jump at this one if you can or know somebody who might!
Pay is 3000 USD/month for a 9-week program in Seattle, visa available!

How to become a successful physicist?
A short thread π
I've been asking myself this question since undergrad, fortunately there is research by Carl Wieman in Physics Today: https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/PT.3.5082
Today's #STEMeducation #edutainment for all.
How to use calculus to survive the zombie apocalypse.
Breaks down calculus to its simplest form via the performing arts.
This is one of my all time #lifelonglearning favs.
It's also one of the funniest
zombie movies ever made.
Enjoy!

Might have been excessively ambitious for a #geochemistry course redesign, now realizing I need to actually plan the course!
Have favorite ideas, #textbooks, #tutorials, #resources, to share?
The details:
1. Upper-level #undergrad #SLAC #geochemistry course, but no rigid pre-reqs (start with #basics).
2. Would like to build course around using #R #Rstats to make #geochemical #plots! I'm also an #Rnovice, though, so I'll also be learning as we go.
