在学术研究实验室中,组织良好的小组会议是常见的培训工具,可以使个人和整个小组受益。由于2019冠状病毒病大流行,虚拟会议已成为越来越重要的研究小组会议形式。虚拟会议形式还提供了一个重要但未被充分认识的优势:便于与其他(可能遥远的)机构的研究人员合作。在此,我们描述了我们所采用的策略,以促进主要本科项目和博士研究密集型机构的环境化学/工程实验室之间的参与和富有成效的在线会议和学术交流。在12个月期间,通过视像会议举行了6次跨部门小组会议。所有会议由两个部分组成:(1)文献或研究讨论;(2)专业发展会议,强调诸如完成学士学位后的生活,确保研究生入学和资金的建议,以及有效导师的特征(从本科生的角度来看)等主题。学生主导的科学文献和研究讨论对于提高学员的沟通技巧、跨学科观点和批判性阅读文献是有价值的。专业发展会议为专业导师提供了独特的机会。鉴于跨部门小组会议在教学和其他专业方面的重大好处,我们建议将这种会议形式作为一种有用的培训工具,即使在当前的大流行减弱之后也可作为研究学员的培训工具。
In academic research laboratories, well-organized group meetings are common training tools that can benefit individuals and the group as a whole. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual meetings have become an increasingly important format for research group meetings. Virtual meeting formats also offer an important and underappreciated advantage: ease of collaboration with researchers at other (potentially distant) institutions. Herein, we describe the strategies we employed to facilitate engaging and productive online meetings and academic exchanges between environmental chemistry/engineering laboratories at a primarily undergraduate program and a doctoral research intensive institution. Over a period of 12 months, six intermural group meetings were held through videoconference. All meetings consisted of two segments: (1) a literature or research discussion and (2) a professional development session that emphasized topics such as navigating life after completing a bachelor's degree, advice on securing graduate school admission and funding, and characteristics of effective instructors (from the undergraduate perspective). Student-led discussion of scientific literature and research is valuable in enhancing trainees' communication skills, interdisciplinary perspectives, and critical reading of the literature. Professional development sessions facilitate unique opportunities for professional mentorship. Given the substantial pedagogical and other professional benefits of intermural group meetings, we recommend this meeting format as a useful training tool for research trainees even after the current pandemic wanes.
