We're conducting a study and could use your help! If you are a current or past reader of PERbites, please consider taking a few minutes to answer our survey. More information and the link to the survey at perbites.org/2022/02/14/plea…. Thank you!
paper day! 🥳 we tried @astrobites lesson plans with a bunch of students to see how it affected them (hint: it was good!) students felt better about reading research literature afterwards, plus lots of other positive effects as described in our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2309.05822

Providing students with more time on their exams should improve their grades, right? Today's study suggests that might not be the case. perbites.org/2022/08/17/extr…
