Proud to be a part of this new academic family! Biological Sciences

Two open postdoc positions with my research group: one assisting with the NSF Chemistry Instrument Review and Assessment Library (CHIRAL) bit.ly/SDSU-CHIRAL-po… and the other focused on SEM of existing survey data bit.ly/SDSU-SEM-postd… Can start as early as this July!

A grad student asked me this week, "How do you do the kind of work you want to do without reproducing the unjust power hierarchies of academia?" I can't, and none of us can, and we should stop pretending like we can be pure radicals inside the academy. 🧵

Join #NISTFALCoN this Friday, October 28th, at 4 pm EST with guest Brie Tripp (she/her) about "Implementing Scientist Spotlights for Undergraduate Science Courses". National Institute on Scientific Teaching Register here: bit.ly/3SDIX50

Congratulations to our lab’s undergraduate researcher and McNair Scholar Ofelia Preciado for presenting research on Social Justice in Science Case Studies at #UCDavisURSCA conference. Her case explored obesity discrimination and endocrine influence on obesity.

Super thrilled to be a part of this!

Could not have said it better! 🫶🏻

Both @DaxOvid and I are so proud of our collaborator @__Ashhleyy_ for modeling how to bring positionality and vulnerability into #DBER presentations at #SABER2023! She’s on 🔥 🔥 🔥

This is a great opportunity to work in a fantastic lab!

New pub alert‼️ Our study (Kimberly Tanner Jeff Schinske) reveals how healthcare professionals find details & amount of content in A&P prerequisites as exclusionary, unmemorable, & irrelevant to their careers. Many implications for other STEM prerequisites! lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

Looking forward to the important conversations this hopefully gets started regarding the potential for prereq course content expectations to "actively exclude individuals from STEM or healthcare careers" and related impacts on equity and justice in undergraduate STEM education.

Does prerequisite STEM content align with students' careers? Interviews with practicing healthcare pros challenge this assumption & raise concerns that an over commitment to content might exclude students from life science careers By: Brie Tripp (she/her) et al ow.ly/logK50QLc5c

Proud of our new pub! @DaxOvid @__Ashhleyy_ Findings: unjust science experiences throughout underserved students’ lifetime hinder science identity. But including diverse role models in classrooms enhance their scopes of possibility to become a scientist. lifescied.org/doi/full/10.11…
