* Writing Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows *

Writing Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows
Presented by Dartmouth GrantGPS
DATE: Monday, December 12, 2016
TIME: 8:30 AM – 12:00 Noon
LOCATION: Dana Library, room 334 (37 Dewey Field Road) PRESENTER: John
Maguire
DESCRIPTION AND BIO:
 John Maguire is returning to Dartmouth to present a half- day workshop
on “Readable Writing.” His focus will be on writing and editing for
readability. He will cover five fundamental editing skills, and how they
are combined to produce clear and vivid papers. Note: the emphasis is on
writing in general and not scientific writing.
Mr. Maguire is a science editor who began college as a physics major but
then switched to English and became a science news reporter. He has
covered science for three daily newspapers, and taught writing for
several decades
at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Boston area, including
at Boston University. He currently freelances as a science editor for
academic institutions and an engineering firm. He has edited RO1 and PO1
grant applications for NIH, and proposals for NSF. Recent clients
include Harvard University School of Public Health, University of
Michigan Medical School, and the Dartmouth College Biochemistry
Department. He has written several short books, including John Maguire’s
College Writing Guide. In April 2016 he delivered a two-day editing
workshop for graduate students and post-doc researchers at Dartmouth.
His website is www.readablewriting.com.
In his teaching and coaching, he focuses on these five issues:
1. Concretenessvs.abstraction(nouns) 2. Activityvs.Inertness(verbs)
3. Dramaticvs.impersonal(names)
4. Shortwordsvsover-longwords
5. Sentence-lengthcontrol
To register for the workshop, please email Cindy Stewart
([log in to unmask]). Space is limited to 14 participants.
ATTENTION YEAR 2 GRADUATE STUDENTS: Mr. Maguire will provide 30-minute
individual coaching and editing sessions for Year 2 students writing
their Specific Aims page. Sessions will be scheduled from 1:00 – 5:00 PM
(Monday, December 12) and from 8:30 AM – 12:00 noon (Tuesday, December
13). To sign up for a session, contact Cindy Stewart ([log in to unmask]).
Note: priority will go to students who have attended Mr. Maguire’s
workshop on December 12 (see above for details).

* Creating STEM Lesson Plans for High School Science Classrooms *

Please join us for a workshop on 12/5/16 from 3-4:30 PM focused on
creating STEM lesson plans for high school classrooms. Local high school
science teacher Erica Wallstrom (Rutland HS) and a math teacher will
lead this event, which will help graduate students and postdocs learn
how to share their research through well-crafted lesson plans that
specifically address next generation science standards (NGSS) and Common
Core. The teachers will discuss the elements of a good lesson plan (e.g.,
what teachers need in their classroom) and how to choose standards that
are most relevant to your research. Time will also be allotted for small
group work for participants to discuss the standards relevant to their
research. This event is co-sponsored by the Institute of Arctic Studies'
Joint Science Education Project and the Dartmouth Center for the
Advancement of Learning.
Date:
Monday, December 5, 2016

* Your Research Identity *

Your Research Identity
Develop your digital identity as a researcher in this Thayer winterim
short course, 12/6 & 12/7, 9 am-noon, MacLean 201
Register at: https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/academics/courses/short-courses
by Monday November 28th
Making, managing, and measuring the impact of your public identity as a
researcher and scholar is critical in the digital age. In this course,
you will make or modify your public researcher profile. You’ll use tools
such as ORCID, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google, RefWorks, Web of
Science, SherpaRoMEO and more, to make the best decisions for your own
researcher identity. We will also address copyright issues regarding
what full text you can share on your researcher site, and the role of
social media like Twitter, Facebook and blogs in the researcher identity
ecosystem. You can use what you learn to help promote the work of your
whole research group as well.
Bring your laptop. 
Coffee & refreshments provided
Benefits and requirements:
This course would benefit your research team and lab colleagues
Permission of your advisor is required 




* DCAL's Learning Community for Future Faculty *

In order to cultivate a community focused on teaching and learning
amongst graduate students and postdocs, DCAL has established a Learning
Community for Future Faculty (LCFF). The focus of this group is to share
the rewards and challenges of college teaching, while digging a bit
deeper into best practices and techniques for teaching.  The LCFF meets
monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month.
