New paper on COVID19 communication among undergraduate biology students

The lab published its first paper on students' science communication education in Frontiers in Education: STEM Education! In this paper, we show that when COVID19 vaccines were first becoming available to the public that undergraduate students were serving as significant science communicators. Our results also indicate that students may need to learn science communication principles and practice having conversations to be more effective communicators. Check it out here!

The first NSF RCN network on evolution acceptance measurement kicks off!

Liz traveled to Arizona State University as Co-PI of the NSF-funded Research Coordination Network in Undergraduate Biology Education to meet with other experts to improve evolution acceptance measurement. We have already drafted a meeting report from 2.5 days of intense and fruitful discussion and collaboration! We are looking forward to extending this work in the future!

Liz gives a seminar at the University of California San Diego biology department!

Liz presented her research at the USCD department of biological sciences "The Science of Teaching" seminar series on using religious cultural competence in biology education to reduce perceived conflict between religion and science and create more inclusive biology education!
