In the world of science, it isn’t always clear how a line of research will impact the world. It takes experimentation, tenacity, and the ability to follow curiosity wherever it leads. It’s that last element — that scientific freedom — that can be especially powerful. For some scientists, an unrestricted grant early in their career can be a catalyst for groundbreaking research and discovery. That was the case for 1991 Packard Fellow Dr. Moungi Bawendi, who was awarded The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in October 2023.

Tip: An article worth reading about the concept of digital platforms and platformisation and their potential impact on academic research 👇
Glad that this study is finally out at @ LIBER Quaterly: https://lnkd.in/dm8_k4fp In this piece we theorize platforms and platformization in scholarly communication and reflect on their impact on academic norms and practice. Thank you, Nataliia Sokolovska, Raffaela Kunz & Marcel Wrzesinski for the collaboration. It was fun! P.S.: of course, open access.

Higher Ed Leader | Supporting Students to Achieve Their Goals | Latino Student Success Advocate
I don't think we talk enough or at all about first-generation professionals, especially in higher education. I could relate to so many of the examples shared in this article. A great read on the experience of First-Generation Latinx Professionals. "Reimagining the workplace and being intentional about how we can better support Latinx first-generation professionals is more important than ever. We cannot expect to sustainably work towards equitable experiences and outcomes for Black and Brown students if we are not considering the work environments these professionals are navigating. This is especially true for Latinx first-generation professionals as the number of Latinx students continues to increase. Representation is critical in retention and success of students of color, and the effects of not supporting the staff who mirror the students will perpetuate inequities."
Check out my publication! I talk about some of my first-gen experiences, my growth in the CANDEL Doctoral program at UC Davis, and my research. https://lnkd.in/gPSVMJ6Z
