Betsabel Chicana, PhD

As an undergraduate in a community college I had to learn how to navigate college, how to study, how to organize, how to find mentors, develop a career plan + more. This semester I start teaching these steps in Biol231 Success in Biology @SFSU and I’m super excited 🤩

Wrapping up my first year teaching, grateful for guiding students to success at amazing institutions. I’ve been surrounded by inspiring colleagues and eager learners. Excited to embrace a new opportunity on the horizon! #ProfessorLife

We are excited to unveil our official artwork for #2024NDiSTEM! SACNAS is proud to have partnered with artist Lucinda "La Morena" Hinojos, who a designed a deeply meaningful piece, entitled "Regeneration". Learn more at: hubs.la/Q02zklJb0

Always keeping photos of all data really helps when you don’t have immediate access to your lab notebook 😅

@ucmgraddiv @UCMsociology @NSF Wow 👏🏽 congrats!! 🎉🎈🎊

Congratulations to @UCMsociology Ph.D. student Luis Rubén González Márquez who received a @NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG) for his research on renewable energy conflicts in Central America! Stay tuned for more about his research.

Such an amazing week with co-educator @yvaryy teaching at StormFest. We help give students a hands-on science education experience to combat water pollution. #science #StormFest

Hooded my first PhD student #NegarTehrani on Friday! Congrats Negar! You’ve worked so hard and overcome so many barriers to get here and you’ve paved the way in more ways than one! Very excited for what’s next for you!! @ucmerced @UofCalifornia @QSB_UCMerced

@Andeswei Wow! 🥳

Tallying up the numbers and over the last 7 field seasons students in my lab collected and ID'd ...21,373 ticks! That's a lot of ticks!

What a beautiful day to fly ✈️😊 Seattle ❤️
