Late post, but I had a great time in Worcester connecting with awesome people working to shift departments away from deficit-oriented thinking and practices, and doing super interesting and important research. This is one of my favorite parts of this job 🩵

Congratulations, Summer, for a job well done! It is very impressive to see you develop expertise in two disparate fields in this dual PhD program! Your ACCESS lab community is excited for your next chapter💛

Cool! (*data from Jan 22-Dec 23)

@katerinapgunter Congrats, Katerina!

It is time to share that I have started as a postdoctoral researcher at Umeå University in Sweden! In this future, I continue exploring identities in higher education biology as well as expand my repertoire understanding uses of emotions in engineering education. Exciting!
