Summary: According to a survey conducted by Oregon State University Department of Chemistry, only a small percentage of faculty (6.7%) and graduate students (8.3%) know the location of the nearest automated external defibrillator (AED) to their workspace. Additionally, many respondents expressed a lack of confidence in their ability to use an AED if necessary. The article discusses the benefits of AED use during cardiac arrest and measures being taken within the Department of Chemistry to increase AED awareness and competency.

Summary: This paper documents a case study on collaborative transdisciplinary (TD) and interdisciplinary (ID) graduate programs at the University of British Columbia, examining how these programs equip students with research competencies and prepare them for collaborative applied research. The study found that breadth programs expose students to diverse disciplinary perspectives, while depth programs focus on specific research problems in fewer disciplines. Co-supervision and thesis committee membership were identified as valuable avenues for mentorship. Respondents expressed a desire for more applied research opportunities and connections with potential employers outside academia.

Summary: Various strategies have been implemented to address laboratory safety concerns in academic settings, including innovative educational tools, protective policies, and the establishment of peer teams promoting a safety culture. Virtual reality modules have been developed as training exercises, replicating the complexities of real research laboratories. By comparing individuals and teams, it was found that teams performed better in identifying laboratory hazards, with a lower degree of variability. Additionally, team formats were perceived as more effective in hazard identification compared to individuals, although team leaders showed less enthusiasm for the group format due to subtle group dynamics.

Summary: The Joint Safety Team (JST) was founded in 2012 by the University of Minnesota and the Dow Chemical Company as a student-led safety organization. It aims to improve academic safety through compliance, awareness, resources, and education. JST has developed a peer-led safety culture at Minnesota and its innovative methods have been recognized, leading to its adoption in other academic institutions.

Summary: Barriers to scholarly activity training in pediatric pulmonology programs threaten the pipeline of academic pediatric pulmonologists and physician-investigators. Lack of funding and competing clinical responsibilities are major obstacles to completing the scholarly activity. Optimizing the alignment between fellow scholarly activity and their postgraduate positions can better support career development.

Summary: Safety is crucial in STEM and CTE education, however accidents still happen. This study analyzed survey responses from 718 teachers in the US and identified factors associated with increased and reduced accident occurrences. Logistic regressions showed that larger class sizes increased accident odds by 48%, while comprehensive safety training reduced accident odds by 49%.
