Many good researchers aren't good teachers and many of these 'top/prestigious' institutions only hire good researchers to bring in more money. Too many aren't even concerned with developing good pedagogy or mentoring

In addition, most grad programs don't even incorporate tools to teach good pedagogy skills or go into great detail good science communication practice. To many of these profs are too quick to blame (underrepresented) students and tell them they don't belong in the field

Agreed!! I saw this too much at my last place of employment. I was always baffled sitting there as faculty members complained about students and I’d be thinking, you really have no clue what the problem is here (it’s you, you are the problem)

I have two kids who will be applying to college in the years ahead, and I SO agree with you. Standard college ratings are BS! Am still searching for a guide to undergrad ed that’d tell me where the best >>pedagogy<< happens (instead of misleading non-signifiers)
Any ideas?
