15/ This anecdote of a struggling reader and her teacher being failed by the instructional materials that were provided by their school demonstrates, quite concisely, why our literacy rates are so low.

Our colleagues at @Brains_On @APMStudios made an episode for kids about how people learn to read - and why it can be so hard. I hope you’ll listen and share it with kids in your life. Especially kids who’ve had a hard time w/reading. open.spotify.com/episode/0R2…

My colleague and friend, Dr. Christina Baer, aka the Microscope MacGuyver, on the importance of diversity in STEM.
“Diverse perspectives, knowledge and experience are absolutely critical for creative problem-solving and innovation in my field.”

We finally have a lab style guide in both Powerpoint and one-page pdf for pinning up next to your desk. Image of PDF is below. Thousand thanks to @RobLawrencium, editor extraordinaire for putting this together.
Comments?
I will share the lab style guide, once done with the SciTwitterVerse..

Here are some other things I’d want a new-to-research teacher to check out. (I’ll keep this to short, free stuff that is super accessible, so no books.) I already shared 1, so we’ll start from there…🧵
If a new teacher (or a teacher new to research) were looking for a place to start, I think Rosenshine’s Principles would be the place to go! Also recommend @teacherhead’s great book on these!
