2018 Shortlidge and Eddy - EBT Training Myth

ARTICLE: The trade-off between graduate student research and teaching: A myth? (PLoS ONE)

We tested this tradeoff for graduate students using a national sample of life science PhD students. We characterize how increased training in EBT impacts PhD students’ confidence in their preparation for a research career, in communicating their research, and their...
