this work, we also aim to better understand undergraduate students’ motivations forbeing involved in research. To foster EM and achieve these goals, we designed a series of videosand faculty-led EM training workshops for students. These activities are scalable and transferablefor undergraduate researchers and their mentors at different institutions.The intent of these workshops is to enable students to become involved in research, and onceinvolved, allow them to apply EM concepts to their research projects directly. Workshop topicsinclude framing research questions with EM, building resilience in research, thriving in a researchenvironment, developing a research pitch, using EM to drive effective data presentation, andfocusing next steps in
