Dear Ed consultants/seminar presenters. When you start with “I’ve got a loud voice, I don’t need to use this microphone”. You do. Please use the microphone. 🎤

A PSA for anyone curious about grading, ungrading, alternative grading (which I don’t designate as something other than ungrading but hey - it’s a term), etc. especially those trying to publish their SOTL results.
No matter what your field is, you are not the first to do this.

In the chem ed space we often say, "we don't have to do to our students what was done to us" and this is true in lab culture too. 🧪

Dear PIs: Don't work on weekends & holidays.
And if you do, don't brag about it.
It's NOT cool. It reflects a bad set of values that promote unhealthy work-balance practices in the team you lead.
You're an example for your students and colleagues, live up to it.
