2006 Advisor B. Lynn Allen Hoffmann
Dissertation: Endogenous and Exogenous Inductin of AHR/ARNT Signal Transduction in Human Epidermal Cell Types
As of Fall 2007: Research Fellow in Pediatrics; Harvard Children's Hospital
Bio: Currently I am a Harvard Medical School Postdoctoral Fellow at Children's Hospital Boston, researching the functional role of Wilms' Tumor Suppressor-1 in nephrogenesis.
I did both my undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, taking a year in between to gain industry experience at a small biotechnology company in California. This industry experience provided valuable insight into decision making processes that balance research with real world application.
While in graduate school, I educated groups of adults and children as a Volunteer Naturalist for the Wisconsin State Park System. This experience provided the foundation for my interest in science outreach. In addition to my laboratory work at Childrenšs Hospital I pursued outreach opportunities at the Museum of Science in Boston and the MIT Museum, working to engage the public with basic science and cutting edge research.
I enjoy acting as a liaison between science and society, and I hope that increasing science literacy will help people make informed choices. I am also interested in current science policy issues and how they are addressed at the national level. In the Fall of 2008 I will begin a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship, with placement in the Office of Legislative and Public Affairs at the National Science Foundation.
