QUBES@Bates Lab

My role with QUBES (Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis) is as Director of Partnerships. I focus on strategic partnerships, communication, and outreach activities. While the entire QUBES co-PI team develops partnerships across math, biology, computer science and education, I specialize in working with Partners from the mathematics community and communities which work on issues of marginalization in STEM. I also manage social media communications. At Bates, our current team is focused on the QUBES co-founding partnership with EDSIN, social media, and a new initiative on Open Education Communities, EDSIN-QUBES Fellows.
