Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities in CER

Gautam Bhattacharyya | Mon, 12/10/2018 - 19:59

Dear CER Community:

Undergraduate students have asked me to help them find REU summer research programs specifically in chemical education research. I know that CER REU summer programs exist, but I am not familiar with all of the possibilities. I hope that the CER community will direct me to active summer REU CER programs by sending information directly to my email address (GautamB@MissouriState.edu).

THANKS!

Dear community members,

It is with great sadness that I report the death of David Brooks. David was a faculty in the Chemistry Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for many years and engaged in chemical education, especially through the training of K-12 teachers in his later years. He was a strong advocate for instructional technologies. David was an extremely smart individual and was an amazing mentor to all who had the chance to work with him.

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for the second message. It looks like the hyperlinks embedded in the original message did not translate, so I am trying a different method.

If you are willing to serve as a reviewer for proposals submitted to NSF’s Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE: EHR) Development & Implementation competition in the chemistry discipline, please fill out the reviewer survey (at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/IUSEDI19).
