I have become a bit obsessed with sitting on my back deck having the Cornell Merlin bird ID app tell me who my winged friends are nearby based on sound. I encourage folks to try it! Awesomely distracting.

Are you a #STEM Ed researcher, thinking that you want to up your quant/stats/measurement game? Do you want year-long mentoring? We are recruiting our next (possibly final??) cohort! education.umd.edu/academics/de...

And, our Cohort 4 "BCSER NSF Quant Research Methods Winter Institute" is in the books. I loved getting to know this cohort better-and learning about their exciting research questions and methodological queries! Team work! (Application portal for cohort 5 will open in late spring)

Congratulations to Yating Zheng for successfully defending her dissertation today! Spoiler alert: logistic regression ain’t too bad (good news for lazy folks like me!)
