I am excited to serve the URI student population. I look forward to joining a supportive community of people dedicated to complete and honest education and rigorous research in all fields of study. I am excited to start this new chapter of my career 🤩

At the same time, I am so excited and grateful to have the opportunity to join the dedicated community at the University of Rhode Island as an Assistant Professor this fall. I am humbled by the top-tier researchers who are welcoming me as their newest colleague.

Censorship has made it impossible for me to responsibly do my job educating students and conducting high-quality, ethical research at TTU. I cannot ask grad students to join me in a place where their first amendment rights are violated and their education is limited, ideological, and censored.

With deeply mixed feelings, I am leaving Texas Tech University. I have loved my position, colleagues, and students at TTU for five years. I am heartbroken that Chancellor Creighton and the Board of Regents has implemented illegal, politically motivated censorship of teaching and research.

Texas Tech is expanding its prohibition on "gender and sexual orientation" topics to include faculty research and student theses and dissertations. Our chancellor wants to censor the truth because he knows it topples the hateful ideology of MAGA. Knowledge is power, so they plan to destroy it.

Chancellor Brandon Creighton directed provosts to phase out the programs and ordered universities to recognize only “two human sexes.”

Texas Tech chancellor limits academic mentions of transgender and nonbinary identities at five universities
Advocacy groups say the new state law, presidential executive order and gubernatorial letter Tedd Mitchell cited do not prohibit classroom discussions of particular LGBTQ+ identities.

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. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

This one is special to me – first paper as PI of my own lab, with phd student Anastasia Chouvalova and postdoc (now faculty) Anisha Navlekar as co-first authors, undergrad researchers Sami Daye, Mikayla Adams, & Fatima de Anda, and now I'm co-authors with my friend & stats wiz, Devin Mills!

Our results suggest that students who believe their intellectual abilities can improve are more likely to respond adaptively to making errors in the learning process and are more likely to space their study sessions out and use highly effective, error-prone study strategies

Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 30/05/2024
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...

Closing Duke's Herbarium: A fear of long-term climate commitment?
Without the Herbarium, and support for future faculty in biodiversity research, Duke’s reputation in this area will wither on the vine.

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!

Could replicability problems in mindset lit be at least partially due to measurement error? I think it’s possible. Stay tuned for my next paper on this topic.

Coming next: we compared the predictive efficacy of the ULTrA vs. previously-existing mindset measure and found it reliably predicts more variance in all outcomes we checked for science & math undergrads.

I am beyond words to see this become a final product. I poured and heart into this project for >4 years and I am so proud of how it came out. The official acceptance coming in while I was on my honeymoon was such a nice cherry on top! Thanks CBE-LSE for the wedding gift!

We found each belief contributes unique predictive value for at least one outcome, and each outcome is predicted by a unique combination of beliefs
100
Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 28/09/2023
Take-away 3: if you’re interested in mindset, may I suggest taking an interest in universality and brilliance as well? These are also beliefs students have about their abilities and success, and our results indicate that they explain unique variance in outcomes we care about

Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 28/09/2023
Growth, but not fixed, explained variance in intent to persist and course grade. In contrast, fixed, but not growth, explained variance in evaluative concern and self-handicapping. This means it’s not enough to measure only growth or fixed, you could miss interesting nuance!
120
Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 28/09/2023
Take-away 2: Our data tell us that growth and fixed are not opposite ends of a single spectrum, but distinct factors that load onto a higher-order mindset factor. SEMs showed that growth & fixed related to outcomes differently, while controlling for demographics & other beliefs.

Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 28/09/2023
Take-away 1: if you’re interested in science & math undergraduates’ mindsets, you should use this measure! 5 items per beliefs, 25 items total. Freely available in table 3 and would love to answer any questions about how to use it.

Lisa Limeri @lisalimeri.bsky.social · 28/09/2023
We found that mindset, universality, and brilliance beliefs are distinct and that each uniquely predict psychosocial and academic outcomes. In the process we developed a new survey to measure these beliefs supported by extensive evidence of validity – the ULTrA Survey.

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/...
