Join us as we explore the experiences and insights of the people working to improve the outcomes of their students as they make the transition to college, using three-dimensional learning for undergraduate science (3DL4US) as a language and framework to transform individual assessment items, the broader culture of STEM higher ed, and everything in between.

Ep 15. Lynmarie Posey: Navigating the Institution

In our Season 1 finale, we go extra hard on metaphors and cliches, turning 3DL into a used car and asking out loud what Culture eats for breakfast. Lucky for you, Lynmarie Posey is here to keep us grounded (or afloat?). She has been friends with 3DL through thick and thin, and knows things that only a close confidante can know. Listen in on some secrets!

Ep 14. Ryan Sweeder: 3DL and Student Success

Michigan State's own Ryan Sweeder joins the fray, to discuss metaphorical mountain climbing, literal mushroom foraging, and hypothetical Jeopardy! appearances. Paul sheepishly asks the hard questions that have gone unanswered so far about 3DL's role in improving student experiences and outcomes. Ryan takes it all in stride and pretends not to notice when Becky starts speaking in "blah blah blah".

Ep 13. Erin Duffy: The Role of TAs in 3DL

Hey, let's be honest. Productively engaging students in three-dimensional learning is a labor-intensive endeavor, whether we're talking about lectures, labs, or discussion sections. We need a booster shot, and Erin Duffy has the medicine! It starts with sipping some acronym soup and ends with fending off zombies from the local McDonald's. You know the drill.

Ep 12. Justin Carmel: What About Labs?

Justin brings glow sticks to the 3DL party just before his office dramatically breaks off into the Atlantic. Don't worry, he's got a backup plan. If you are looking for a discussion of friendly Labrador Retrievers, you might be disappointed (but you never know). If you are into hearing about laboratory-based science courses, you've hit the jackpot!

Ep 11. Becky Matz: Supports and Barriers

Everything gets confusing when the co-host tries to interview herself! Becky manages to deflect most of the questions thrown her way, but she does shed light on creepy research methods and some of the ways 3DL is perceived by instructors. She also proposes a "work-work" balance (Paul cues Hamilton) as a way to think about staying creative in science.

Ep 10. Debbie Herrington: Connecting to K-12

Debbie gracefully navigates Paul's obvious reliance on the internet to inform his understanding of Canada, chemistry, and cottage country. In between, she provides thoughtful perspectives on engaging in scientific teaching with 8 year-olds, high schoolers, college students, and full-blown grown ups.

Ep 9. Cori Fata-Hartley: 3DL Faculty Development

Question: If this 3DL thing is so great, how do we get it in front of more students? Answer: Well, you'll have to listen! Cori shares a generous sliver of her experience cake with designing and facilitating visits for curious faculty into the underbelly of 3DL. Free ketchup sandwiches, on the house.

Ep 8. Diane Ebert-May: Bringing Your Friends Along for the Ride

Sharks, beer, (3DL), and lichens all make cameos during Diane's visit to the show! We bust out the old slide projector - at least in my head - to see Diane hiking up mountains to visit her alpine tundra plants and calling her friend in the middle of teaching a 400-student class (yes, on a land line) to get some "just in time" feedback.
