Welcome to the iBEARS Network!
Who We Are
We are a network of educators and researchers working to infuse 21st-century skill training into undergraduate STEM courses and programs.
What We Do
We utilize and train others interested in using the iBEARS model (description forthcoming) to train undergraduate STEM students to virtually mentor middle level science students (4th-8th grade) in course-based research projects.
Who We Partner With
We partner with STEM instructors and researchers, colleges, middle schools, elementary schools, and intermediate schools.

I am the Director of Outreach and Strategic Engagement with the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium. I have over 25 years of experience teaching introductory biology, ecology, and evolution courses. I'm also on the leadership team of the QUBES project and I spend a lot of my time thinking about how to bring new teaching and learning resources into classrooms.
