FUN about the INSTRUCT Research Group

The ICE CREAMS Research Group??

Yes. That's right. We were almost the ICE CREAMS Research Group (Improving Cognitive Efficacy - Causal Reasoning Education Augmenting Math and Science). An INSTRUCT Research Group friend and colleague, Dr. Danny Oppenheimer, thought that ICE CREAMS Research Group was the coolest name ever. Unfortunately, Michelle didn't agree -- so we chose a modification of one of his other suggestions and became the INSTRUCT lab instead. However, the INSTRUCT groupies feel the loss because they would like to have regular servings of ice cream during research meetings ...

Gotta Grab those Grants!

We've been lucky that several organizations have funded portions of the research conducted in our lab. Our funders have been The British Academy, the Economic and Social Research Council, the National Science Foundation, The Leverhulme Trust, The Institute for Education Sciences at the United States Department of Education, as well as various small grants from the University of Cambridge and Virginia Commonwealth University.

PhD Comics Rule!

Want a little humor at the graduate students' expense? The INSTRUCT groupies recommend PhD Comics because they are so PHUNNY!
