Envisioning Inclusive Career Pathways in Biology Education

The Undergraduate Biology Education Research GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Undergraduate Biology Education Research is committed to creating an equitable and welcoming space for early-career scientists to (1) receive exposure to diverse career pathways in biology education research, (2) expand their professional networks through budding collaborations and interactions, (3) identify ways to actionable practice diversity and inclusion in their research and teaching, (4) learn about different educational research avenues they may want to investigate and (5) learn how to maximize their GRC experience. The GRS utilizes seminar talks, poster presentations, brown bag lunches, and several informal networking opportunities to support early-career scientists in BER
