Former QUBES@Bates Lab
As Director of Communications and Partnerships QUBES (Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis), I focused 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 building partnerships for funding sustainability and building communities which work on issues of marginalization in STEM. I am pleased to announce that in 2021, QUBES Management has successfully and sustainably transferred to BioQUEST post-NSF funding.
