On behalf of @USCViterbi Dean's Office, I'm organizing a free (virtual) 2-day workshop + "grad program fair" for UGs interested in pursuing grad degrees in STEM this summer. W/ 2days, we can cover many topics. What should we discuss? Who should I invite as speakers/panelists?
🧵
I did this previously and discussed the below in a series of panels (w/ lots of time for Q&A). I was thinking a similar format this time, along with a pair of a "plenaries" (but short talks w/ Q&A).

(Also, the below are on my group's YouTube channel.)
2/N
Also, I want to have a "grad fair" - like a career fair, but a place where grad schools from across the country can have "rooms" to answer Q's about their programs, applications, ..

@USC did a virtual career fair in the fall that worked, so I'm building on that framework. 3/N
But these are my ideas. And this should serve the #undergrad community - especially #firstgen undergrads who may not know the ins/outs of the process. What do you want/need? What would make this event useful for you? 4/N

I was just reviewing a colleague's student's CV & it hit home: academia does a horrible job prepping students to write CVs for industry positions. Here are a few pieces of advice based on my experience, but I want to hear from my industry friends!! #ScienceTwitter #lifeadvice 🧵
1) Emphasize what is important "to them". Sure, you care about the N publications you wrote, but a company cares about your technical skills. Put your skills/experience before a list of your pubs.
2) That undergrad job welding that you think isn't important (or whatever similar position)? Maybe it is. Include it. Don't make decisions for other people. Especially about positions that make you unique.

Things I've learned during my time as an editor. A thread.
1) Editors have 4 options: accept, accept w/ minor rev, accept with major rev, decline. The letters for the first & last options are obvious. The letter for the middle two sound like the MS is rejected.

2) Basically, no one gets accept on the first submission.

3) Good reviewers are hard to find. Corollary: Be a good reviewer.

4) Authors argue with editor decisions way more often than I realized. Corollary: Being polite and fact-driven is really important. #phdlife
5) Don't plagiarize. Yes, this needs to be said.

6) Don't just cite yourself & two of your friends in your reference list.

7) You don't have to make every change requested by the reviewers, but you do have to explain why.

8) The cover letter is really important.
