As PI of a grant on this list, I'm proud of the work we're doing to help ALL students reach their academic goals with evidence-based strategies in the classroom. This work is important not only for students and instructors, but for society at large. We will not stop.

Oh my goodness, I am excited by this one! Study strategies are so important for student success, so we wondered, what influences how students study? Is it related to how they view their beliefs and making errors while studying? We found yes! doi.org/10.1186/s405...

I can confirm the appalling news that Duke intends to close its 800K specimen herbarium as part of an embarrassing plan to delete its position as a leader in biodiversity research. This is despite successful fundraising efforts with a donor secured to save the herbarium.

This week I had the incredible honor of being invited to visit Carol Dweck's lab and talk with her about my research! It was so inspiring to meet her and discuss mindset research!

If you’ve seen me at a conference in the past 3 years you’ve seen me talk about this one project ad nauseum. Finally, after years of talking your ears off about it, being a work in progress, and a pre-print, it’s finally a grown-up (open access) publication! 🤩 www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...
