For #throwbackthursday, a blog post from 2013 by Washington University's Joan Strassmann, on the IGC PhD course she participated in as guest faculty back when I was running the PhD program.
@cyrilpedia Fantastic program! In my opinion, all universities should have integrated science programs. It reflects what real life and science is. Specialization trend in education & science fields has hampered progress in science & created myopic (& oft times subpar) scientists. A few US uni’s have slowly gravitated to integrating their sci departments and in their education tracts. But they have to buck an old entrenched system & mind-set.
@cyrilpedia Love the group project idea for journal clubs! Probably the one thing I miss most of academia.
@cyrilpedia
I really like the virtual project idea.
