NEW VIDEO - Finding Library Jobs for Fun and (non)Profit!

Whether you’re already a librarian, soon graduating from library school, or still trying to decide if librarianship is for you, knowing where to find jobs in libraries is an important skill to have. 

Having monitored library job postings in two countries *checks watch* 5 years now, I thought it might be helpful for y’all if I shared some of the places I look! It’s not exhaustive but it’ll get you looking in the right direction -- and who knows, maybe you’ve got a resource or two to share, too!

We are looking for freelance writers to contribute to SciShow Psych! Applicants should have an academic background in a scientific discipline, demonstrated experience writing about science for a popular, non-academic audience, and be passionate about imparting hard science to humanity in a way that is both educational and engaging.

If this sounds like you, apply by March 11!

Had a great time at @thinkercon talking to so many fellow creators. Wish I had time to talk to so many more. Thanks to @jabrils_ and friends for building a mini @smartereveryday with us and our traveling #maker lab (5 pelican cases worth). Four years ago, Tim and I came to AL for Random Acts of Intelligence. We didn’t know anyone. There we met @articulationsvlog, who has been an amazing friend. She helped start the #WeCreateEdu slack and it has snowballed from there. I’m truly grateful for all the friendships with creators and lovely people at YouTube learning. We went from being alone to not being able to walk very far without finding a familiar face and getting a hug. You all keep us going. And thanks for sharing your love of learning with the world. #thinkercon #youtubelearning #youtube #servos4tw #hotglueguntotherescue #huntsvillealabama #randomactsofintelligence (at Huntsville, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYzfkTh74b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17n56sgw32jum

Happy Birthday Elie Metchnikoff

He discovered cell mediated immunity and phagocytosis by macrophages. He is sometimes called the “father of natural immunity” (and immunity is the most natural thing there is!) Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.

He also studied aging and longevity and was the first notable scientist to advocate yogurt eating to promote long life after observing the diets of some very old Bulgarians. Perhaps he was the first probiotic advocate!

We did it! We launched a #highaltitudeballoon and saw the #eclipse2017 from 40,000 feet in 360 degrees. You can see the shadow of the moon move across the clouds. We had launch issues and an interesting recovery. There was someone else following our tracking signal and we raced to get to the payload before them. Thanks for all the support! More BTS videos to came. https://youtu.be/N_bsT-TyiRg . . . #eclipseday #scifri #scicomm #engineeringlife #maker #diy #360video #garmin #gopro #moonshadow #beatrice #homestead #nationalpark #launchday #3dprinting #scijoy #enginerd #weatherballoon #august212017 #wecreateedu #aprs #spot #make

Next 10 Ventures is launching an incubator for YouTube personalities

Los Angeles-based Next 10 Ventures, a $50 million fund focused on the creator economy, is launching an incubator program to support YouTubers.

The EduCreator Incubator will seed 25 to 40 “emerging video creators” with $25,000 to $75,000 in seed funding, depending on their location, and will enroll them in a 12-month mentorship program. The only requirement is that they focus on educational video content targeting children and young adults.

“The amazing thing about being able to provide more educational content to YouTube is that children, who may be first generation from an emerging or developing country, they now have a mobile phone and they have the ability to watch content,” said Cynthia So Schroeder, Next 10’s recently hired vice president of marketing, who’s leading the incubation efforts. “Through this content, they may discover a field or a topic they haven’t had access to. Maybe they’ll discover oceanography or physics and that glimpse will … inspire them to be a future astronaut or engineer.”

So Schroeder, eBay’s former head of global community development and engagement, joins the firm’s founders: Benjamin Grubbs, YouTube’s former global director of top creator partnerships, and Paul Condolora, the former co-head of the Harry Potter franchise at Warner Bros.

All participants in the program will jointly participate in a revenue share on revenue generated from their content. Next 10 says they intend to reinvest that into a growth fund for next year’s EduCreator participants and that any equity arrangements or follow-on investments will be discussed at the end of the program.

EduCreator will provide participants with a network of other like-minded creators, programming focused on content development and format and mentorship from digital storyteller Jay Shetty, WeCreateEdu founder Jacklyn Duff and others. The goal is to help the YouTubers build sustainable and scalable online businesses.

Former YouTube exec unveils Next 10 Ventures, a $50M fund to back online creators

What’s in it for Next 10? The firm’s hypothesis is that digitally savvy, mobile-first content creators are big money makers, or will be 10 years down the line — hence the fund’s name. Nearly 60 percent of GenZers, after all, cite YouTube as their preferred learning method, and the quantity of streaming video has more than doubled in the past year.

“At YouTube, I saw over 5x growth in watch time, commercialization and really, globalization of the platform,” Grubbs told TechCrunch. “I have three kids ages 9, 7 and 4 and I’ve seen it there too in how they are consuming media. Looking ahead over the next 10 years, this is going to be the way consumers are [being entertained], accessing insights and knowledge, and connecting.”

Applications to the incubator opened today and close November 17, 2018.
