#HigherEd workload is out of control. It is time for a sector-wide teaching formula. Currently, we get the same teaching credit for teaching a course of 20 students as we do for teaching a course of 1800. The workload is not the same, and the distribution of course assignments is not equitable.
Um, HomeSense - I think you might be rushing the season just a little bit.
🧪🧵 🪰 🐜🪲🐞🦗🐛🦋🪳🦟 How many species of insect are there? A seemingly simple question, but one that has been 'bugging' scientists for years. Our work out today suggests that there are millions more than we had previously expected. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @gdfcf.bsky.social

The tech we need for climate adaptation looks a lot like the technologies we'd need on Mars So #ManufacturedEcosystems teamed up with NASA’s Scientific Computing and Visualization Team to build a VR world to explore them Robo bees? Yep #Biomimetics www.manufacturedecosystems.com/habitat-on-m...

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia - and given rising hatred and villainization of queer communities - it’s more important than ever. Queer lives are human lives. Queer lives matter.

Years and years and years. I have a folder on my computer called "Good News" where I drop notes like this. I look at them on the regular - particularly on days when I feel like I'm effing everything up.
Ryan Cordell@ryancordell.org · 3mo agoStudents, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

Hey City of Guelph folks - if senior undergrad students were to design and present workshops or talks (for any age) in computer science, mathematics and statistics, chemistry, and/or physics - what topics would you most want to learn about?

The Shifting Skills Landscape: STEM vs BHASE
A recent paper presented at the WACE International Research Symposium in Auckland compared transferable skills in job postings for STEM and BHASE co-op students. Findings revealed that BHASE jobs list more unique skills, despite similar rankings of skills across both categories. The research and BERT pipeline can be used to inform curriculum development in response to industry needs.
