Hi everyone!
Women in Science, an organization dedicated to discussion and support of issues relevant to graduate and postgraduate women in academic life sciences, is meeting virtually Monday November 2 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. We are hoping to check in with everyone and lead our discussion off with a paper about fixed vs growth mindsets in STEM, but you do not have to read it to come to the meeting!! Please reach out to Elizabeth Herder (Elizabeth.Herder@uconn.edu) or Sarah Hird (Sarah.Hird@uconn.edu) for the Webex link.
Paper: STEM faculty who believe ability is fixed have larger racial achievement gaps and inspire less student motivation in their classes by Elizabeth A. Canning, Katherine Muenks, Dorainne J. Green, Mary C. Murphy
(Science Advances 15 Feb 2019:Vol. 5, no. 2, eaau4734. DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aau4734)
Feel free to drop in or out depending on your schedule!
