I often frame it to them this way:

Something I enjoy as an advisor to PhD students?
Seeing the joy on their faces when they realize that scholars are reading THEIR work, contacting them with questions, asking them to review etc.
That is, seeing students learn they're contributing & having impact.

Students THEMSELVES are telling us that they are *learning less* when using gen AI.
Let's not surrender to AI in schools.
It's more than okay to have them developing their own thinking skills, at this life stage. It should be the ultimate goal.

Gen Z face ‘job-pocalypse’ as global firms prioritise AI over new hires, report says
British Standards Institution study across seven countries found quarter of bosses believe entry-level tasks could be automated to reduce cost
Young people entering the workforce are facing a “job-pocalypse”, as business leaders invest in artificial intelligence (AI) rather than new hires, according to a study of global business leaders.
Bosses are prioritising automation through AI to plug skills gaps and allow them to reduce headcount, instead of training up junior members of staff, a report by the British Standards Institution (BSI) found. Continue reading...

"...elevating instruction for all across all schools is going to create the context we need to identify those of us who are set up to struggle and need more instruction intervention to begin with."

Excited that this one is live and doubly excited that I've already been able to replicate the majority of the findings in NESARC wave 1 (GAD & MDD) and wave 2 (PTSD).
If anyone knows of any publicly available data sets with *DSM-5* PTSD, please let me know!!

My point?
People claiming to feel torn can actually be pointedly negative.
Feeling "torn" can provide cover for socially undesirable attitudes.

Hmmm, I'm mull this over (thanks)
But I'm partially envisioning something that graphically EXPLAINS APCs, in a way that, eyeballing it, someone can tell the difference (conceptually) between the A, P, C.

APC effects are tricky concept to discuss to an undergrads in a regular content (ie non-stats) course
So I'm looking for a visual way to convey the info, but most descriptions I've read are text-based
(yes, I realize I may need to create one myself! But I'm hoping something good exists already)

Know of a good graphic, for use in teaching, to show the idea underlying age-period-cohort (APC) effects?
Please share!
