Joining a research group is one of the most important events on a graduate student’s path to becoming an independent researcher and earning a Ph.D. Despite its importance, graduate students’ perspectives on the experience of finding a research group are not well-documented. In this webinar, our panelists will use data collected in the context of physics graduate education to illustrate how successfully joining a research group tends to increase students’ sense of belonging in their programs which can lead to improved student retention and overall graduate experience.

Many researchers often take a limited view in thinking about the Broader Impacts (BI) of their research.  For example, a researcher may suggest that building a lab website, working with a graduate student, and publishing their work in journals is enough to meet the needs of the BI criteria when in fact, they are basic job expectations at most universities or colleges. Or some PIs might think that working with K-12 school children is the only way to meet their BI requirements.
