Lisa grew up in the foot of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York and earned her B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at SUNY Binghamton. She then moved to Pittsburgh to earn her Ph.D. in Biology studying behavioral ecology and evolution in a colorful family of butterflies. During her doctoral work, she discovered a passion for education research, especially exploring how beliefs influence motivation and behaviors. After defending, she switched her research focus to the social psychology of undergraduate biology education and moved to the University of Georgia to work with Erin Dolan. As a postdoctoral researcher, Lisa has developed and secured NSF funding for a research program exploring how undergraduates’ beliefs about the nature of intelligence (called “mindsets”) influence their academic outcomes, how these beliefs develop over time, and how to measure these beliefs. Outside of work, you can find Lisa hanging out with her dogs, playing board games, or working on jigsaw puzzles. Email: lisa.limeri@uga.edu; Twitter: @LimeriLisa |

Emma is a PhD Candidate in Biology Education Research working under the guidance of Dr. Erin Shortlidge at Portland State University in Oregon. Her graduate work is supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, and her research focuses on graduate student adoption of evidence-based teaching practices, student perceptions of research authenticity in Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), and the impacts of using graduate student teaching assistants as CURE instructors. She completed her BS in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics at UCLA, where she worked as an undergraduate researcher and (post-graduation) as a lab technician in various molecular parasitology research labs. Emma enjoys baking, playing oboe, being outdoors, and talking about her cat. She is an avid long-distance open water swimmer, and has twice completed the 11-mile Portland Bridge Swim route in the Willamette river. Email: e.c.goodwin@pdx.edu; Twitter: @emmacgoodwin |
