Broyer, Rebecca M.; Parr, Jessica – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Graduate students focus the majority of their time honing their research skills and knowledge in a very narrow area of expertise. They are sent off to postdoctoral positions where they continue to grow as scholars and scientific investigators. In most graduate programs, there is very little opportunity to train graduate students to become lecture…
