You know that thing where REUs pick the students who are out-of-the-box ready for grad school instead of giving opportunities to those who need them the most? Yeah, that thing. 🧪 open.substack.com/pub/sciencefor…

Does promoting a goal of "science literacy" help people learn more about science? scienceforeveryone.substack.com/p/evolving-bey…

After 10+ years, @Hormiga has decided to stop writing here. He’s starting a new newsletter! It’s Science For Everyone. Just like Small Pond, it’s free to subscribe. Same great stuff, new venue. Here’s where to go: tinyurl.com/3v4mrdbc

"REU programs are designed to extract the “high quality” students out of teaching-focused institutions which is a rather gross state of affairs, and this does nothing to build the research capacity at the campus that is supporting this student for the other 9 months of the year"

these terms were confusing to me when I first started in academia - I went from a PUI/SLAC (@stmarysca ) to a pretty sizable R1 (@WSUPullman ) and had to learn things like not to take classes on opposite ends of campus in back to back slots my first semester of grad school 😅🏃‍♀️👟

@Hormiga I did this multiple times. Loved it, & strongly recommend my students do it now. Labour was minimal, there were perks (access to snacks, chance to make social connections, sometimes $/journal subscriptions). As former 1st gen/self financing student, disagree w/ this take.

@Hormiga Hmm I have a different take on this. Volunteering at meetings was a great way to network/start to get known within an organization early in my career, in addition to getting registration covered/discounted!

@Hormiga @wouter_decoster I betcha if senior scientists were somehow mandated to do some service along with the undergrad/grad students, they'd change this right quick.

@Hormiga Other conferences have similar programs and require <5 hours of help! 10 is so much over only a few days

@Hormiga @fungi_lover What especially bothers me is students have to pay a $300 fee for registration before they know if they can volunteer for a refund.

Beloved - If you teach 7-8 courses a year, stop taking advice on course management and academic productivity from people teaching 2 courses a year. Your ministry ain't their ministry.
