My name is Roshni and I am a sophomore at Brandeis University studying Neuroscience. I am interested in the development of science education at the high school level, particularly in the ways quantitative reasoning and problem solving can be integrated into biology classes.
To this end, I am working on an independent educational research project under the mentorship of Melissa Kosinski-Collins who is a Professor of Biology at Brandeis with an expertise in science education research and outreach.
I am creating a series of order of magnitude estimation problems concerning questions in cellular biology, biochemistry, ecology, and anatomy/physiology with teacher notes. Teachers can use the videos I make as they teach the relevant unit in order to introduce quantitative reasoning into existing curricular goals.
I am looking for biology teachers or professors who are interested in piloting my quantitative biology activities. Gaining teacher input is invaluable to me in order to understand how to fine-tune my educational resource.
If you are interested in collaborating or learning more about the project, please email me at roshniray@brandeis.edu
