professionalnetworks for students and faculty, engaged the local community in the University, andintroduced students to a broad range of topics in biomedical research from engineering,chemistry, physics, translational medicine, basic biology, sports medicine, and even the arts.The seminar series to date has served as a model at the University for creating a regulardialog among students and faculty on the topic of biomedical research and spurred thegeneration of weekly seminars in a variety of other departments across campus. From thefoundation of the series, the organization of these events has allowed the current organizers,two tenure-track female professors, to take on a leadership role, promote their research withinthe University and with the guest
scientist for the Center for Research on Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (CRESMET), and an evaluator for several NSF projects. His first research strand concentrates on the relationship be- tween educational policy and STEM education. His second research strand focuses on studying STEM classroom interactions and subsequent effects on student understanding. He is a co-developer of the Re- formed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) and his work has been cited more than 1500 times and his publications have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals such as Science Education and the Journal of Research in Science Teaching.Prof. Stephen J Krause, Arizona State University Stephen
