For those developing #education materials featuring scientists - remember to include more than just their work & findings, but also details about who they are as people - like hobbies & interests. This helps students relate to scientists! lifescied.org/toc/lse/23/4 #dataversify

New @Data_Nuggets publication in @CBELifescied finds that students related more to scientists featured in classroom materials when humanizing information was shared - life experiences, hobbies, personality characteristics, gender, and more. lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb… #DataVersify

Come find Melissa at the #ESA2024 poster session tonight to chat about our DataVersify project - including results from the first study and ways you can become involved with our new grant! Find me at # 116.

The collaboration between @Data_Nuggets @biodiversifying & Auburn University, called #DataVersify, introduces real STEM professionals through storytelling, helping students better relate to their projects and engage more deeply with the program’s content. eschoolnews.com/steam/2024/0…
