Motivation, Identity, Learning, and Education in STEM Lab @mcgill.ca Going the extra MILES to support students' learning and development. Led by Kristy Robinson https://bsky.app/profile/krisarob.bsky.social https://www.kristyarobinson.com/miles-lab.htm
It's (apparently) birthday season in the lab! We are diligently gathering data on the best donuts and pastries in the city. 😋🍩
We're proudly celebrating THREE completed theses this summer: two MAs (Romane Monnet and Marianne Dubé) and one undergrad (Sydney Perkins). We're SO proud of their amazing work and will miss them so much! The 2nd photo below is what happens when you tell a bunch of researchers to do a "silly one" 🤪
I'm so honored to receive this recognition and support for my team's work over the next five years! @mcgill.ca reporter.mcgill.ca/provost-hono...

Many thanks to @tonyperez.bsky.social for a fantastic trip to ODU! I enjoyed talking about writing and research with such excellent folks. AND many congrats to the newly minted Dr. @awlevatich.bsky.social who did a fantastic dissertation on emotion profiles!
J'ai passé un moment formidable à l'Université Laval! Un grand merci à tous ceux qui ont assisté à la conférence et qui m'ont si bien accueilli! I had a wonderful time at @ulaval.ca ! Many thanks to those who attended the talks and who made me feel so welcome!
Bonjour Québec! Very excited to be visiting colleagues at Université Laval this week and finally getting to visit this gorgeous city!
Excited to share my new paper in CEP! The part I’m most excited about: we modeled how students’ major intentions shift alongside their motivational beliefs (expectancy, value, cost), offering a snapshot of the beliefs students hold as they navigate decisions about their majors.
