ACSME Discipline Day theme suggestions?

AIP Congress 2016

It's probably a good time to start thinking about AIP congress 2016. What do you want from the teaching and learning side? Are you able to submit a paper? If not, why not? Do you need help? Do you need money to help with travel/registration? Are you willing to review submissions? Let me know, and I'll liase with Margaret Wegener and Craig Savage.

Undergraduates and research labs- does it work? Is it worth it?

Programmes at California State University address the challenges of bringing undergraduates into research labs (see Nature 518 , 127 – 128 ; 10.1038/nj7537-127a 2015 ). The students are then better equipped for admission to the top professional training programmes in the United States and worldwide.

Overseas students in MSc by coursework

Does anyone have any experience with overseas masters students? A few members of PEG have reported increased applications, and are unsure what the issues involved are. Anyone got any experience? Email me at d.hoxley@latrobe.edu.au. 

ReMSTEP- 'reconceptualising' teacher training

It seems that many people agree that secondary school teachers need a bit of help in transmitting the love of science that involvement in research can inspire- the ReMSTEP project is trying to capture some of that smoke in a bottle. It has the interesting secondary aim of getting tertiary academics in education and science working together- a suprosingly rare event in many universities.

Do you work with your university's department/school/faculty/college of education? If so, how does it go? If not, why not? Email me at d.hoxley@latrobe.edu.au- I'm interested in your stories.
