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. Our November meeting, rescheduled to Nov 21, will look at learning through undergraduate research. Typically, the LCFF meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month.

The presenter will spend some time focusing on writing an NIH Specific Aims page and research strategy. However, it will also cover all aspects of an NIH R01 application, and should be beneficial for graduate students at any stage. Date: Thursday, December 1, 2016 Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Lunch and coffee breaks provided) Where: Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall, Dartmouth College campus, Hanover Presenter: John Robertson, PhD (from Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops) This comprehensive, all-day presentation addresses both practical and conceptual aspects of writing NIH research grant and fellowship applications. It is appropriate for faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Dr. Robertson will spend time focusing on writing a Specific Aims page, along with the research strategy. An emphasis is given to doing the "extra" things that can make the difference between success and failure. For more information about Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, visit: http://www.grantcentral.com All participants will receive an extensive handout, as well as a copy of “The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook” (NIH version). To register please send an email to Cindy Stewart ([log in to unmask]), indicating your primary department and title. Registration deadline: November 10, 2016 Date: Thursday, December 1, 2016 Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm Location: Campus: Graduate Studies http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2837007 * 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.

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.
