“During my time as a Fellow, I learned evidence-based practices for inclusive, effective teaching that I incorporate into my daily tasks as a postdoc.”
Fellows Programs
Meet Madeleine Mathews, Scientific Teaching Fellows Alum
“I learned that teaching can be an iterative process and that it’s okay to not get everything right the first time!”
Meet Jennifer Riehl, Scientific Teaching Fellows Alum
“I have carried the lessons I learned about how scientific thinking is really a way to move through the world, whether you are doing science, teaching, working with the public, or assessing claims in day to day life.”
Meet Zoe Walts, 2024 STEM Public Service Fellow
“The thing that excites me most about community engagement is the ability to contribute to bringing research from academic journals into the community to work towards defined goals and positive change.”
Meet Katelyn Butler, Scientific Teaching Fellows Alum
“I am always excited about the training of future science educators! It makes me optimistic about the future of biology education knowing there are folks who want to learn about effective teaching.”
Meet Michael Crossley, Scientific Teaching Fellows Alum
“My favorite part [of the Fellows program] was the community and working toward something together. We learned together, developed learning materials together, and ultimately, taught a real undergraduate course together.”
Meet Ashley Becker Steele, 2024 Scientific Teaching Fellow
“Science is better when we have diverse perspectives, so I hope we can engage the next generation of scientists through a welcoming classroom and thoughtful course design.”
Meet Katie Ryan, 2024 STEM Public Service Fellow
“I have always been passionate about both basic scientific research and increasing access to STEM education, and I believe this program will help me further integrate those passions as I continue into new roles post graduation.”
Meet Katherine Charton, STEM Public Service Fellows Alum
“Considering how academic research can serve communities can be challenging, but learning and doing so with a group of peers was incredibly rewarding.”
Meet Shane Roesemann, 2024 Scientific Teaching Fellow
“The best part about teaching is seeing an initially apathetic student get genuinely excited and articulate about the course material.”
