Megan D. Radyk; Lillian B. Spatz; Mahliyah L. Adkins-Threats; Kitra Cates; Celine L. St Pierre – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The development of science writing and presentation skills is necessary for a successful science career. Too often these skills are not included in pre- or postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, leading to a disconnect between high schoolers' expectations for college preparedness and the skills needed to…

Hernandez, Paul R.; Hopkins, Patricia D.; Masters, Krysta; Holland, Lisa; Mei, Betty M.; Richards-Babb, Michelle; Quedado, Kimberly; Shook, Natalie J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
It is widely recognized that the United States needs to attract and retain more people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. Intensive undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are one of the few strategies shown to improve longitudinal student interest and persistence in STEM-related career pathways; however, less…

Sousa-Silva, Clara; McKemmish, Laura K.; Chubb, Katy L.; Gorman, Marie N.; Baker, Jack S.; Barton, Emma J.; Rivlin, Tom; Tennyson, Jonathan – Physics Education, 2018
Involving students in state-of-the-art research from an early age eliminates the idea that science is only for the scientists and empowers young people to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects. It is also a great opportunity to dispel harmful stereotypes about who is suitable for STEM careers, while leaving students…
