Genomics and Transcriptomics in Non-Model Organisms 2017 - UNAM, Mexico
|
Co-instructor for a one week workshop series entitled “Genomics and Transcriptomics in Non-model organisms.” I developed lectures and exercises for researchers to better understand GNU/Linux, basic command line tools, and mapping reads back to a genome/ transcriptome with bioinformatic programs. This was a five full-day workshop series offered to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City, MX. The course was taught in English and Spanish. Group photo shows everyone who participated in the course. |

Targeted Instruction Generating Excitement about Research and Science Program
Description: The German lab has teamed up with the high school biology faculty (Rebecca Bonet, Linda Crossno and Leina Rizzo) at Valencia High School (VHS) to develop biology based demonstrations and experiments for high school students. My role is to lead some of the demonstrations, assist in setting up the experiments for the students and also answer questions about our demonstration, biology, university life, and academic careers. We present demonstrations which include topics about cell size, respiration, evolution, fish buoyancy, nutrition, and animal physiology.

Center for Research on Teaching Excellence 2012-2014 - UC Merced
Instructional Intern
Description: Attending workshops on how to improve teaching strategies and pedagogy. I have facilitated workshops on how to prepare for the first day of instruction, how to assess student performance, and how to assist students with thinking within their disciplines. I was a participant of a novel program called the Undergraduate Learning Outcomes Assessment – Pedagogy and Program Planning. This program was designed to assess progress within introductory science courses at the University of California, Merced.
