Warren, Weiss,Wolfe, Friedlander, and Lewenstein sum the message up by writing: “[a] cultural shift is under way,reflecting the higher stakes of research, and an increased recognition by scientists, stakeholders, andpolicymakers that (i) scientists need to get their message out, (ii) scientists need training to learn how todo so, and (iii) training should begin at the graduate level”19 . In a recent editorial in Science, AlanLeshner, the chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS), has echoed this call20. By offering training at the graduate level, one could conceivably reach allfuture scientists, and that effect would trickle up as

Either at this meeting or the next, the patient is introduced to the team (who should, by thistime, have their act together). At this time everyone finally hears “what the customer (patient) ordered.

Additionally, requiring attendance in class will show the students that the requirements of the course still apply.& The importance of customer feedback cannot be emphasized enough. While students receive grades as a measure of their performance in school, their performance in the workplace will most likely be evaluated via customer feedback, whether the customer is an outside customer, their supervisor, or their peers.& For a project to be truly extra credit, the students who do not participate must not be penalized.

.Student ratings of male and female instructors are likely influenced by the genderedexpectations of the rater12. Two straightforward examples of gendered expectations are thatstudents are more likely to assume a male instructor holds a PhD as compared with a femaleinstructor13 and are more likely to refer to male instructors as “Doctor” or by their last namewhen writing evaluations of their instructors14. Each of these examples shows that the status andcredentials of female faculty are discounted. Female professors may be expected to be morecaring and nurturing than male professors, given that these traits are considered morefeminine12.
