The DMV node hosted a series of mini-node events in the form of on-line pedagogy journal club sessions during fall 2024 and spring 2025. They met three times over zoom each semester to discuss papers related to faculty stress, kindness, metacognition, science course support, and undergraduate research.
The Pennsylvania Node Meeting took place on Friday May 23rd from 12–2pm EST. The title of the event was R Workshop for Beginners. The meeting was virtual and was open to everyone in the GEP due to general interest.
Congratulations to Dr. Vida Mingo, who is featured in the Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue’s (PGED’s) Community Spotlight for his work to deliver genetics education to a broad range of audiences.
The Midwest Node hosted a virtual Student Research Symposium on Thursday, May 8, 2025 via Zoom. Nine undergraduate students presented their research on the Pathways and Parrot Projects, with six GEP faculty in attendance. This meeting provided an opportunity for students and faculty to connect through discussion of research projects and for faculty to plan for the future of the Node. Dr. Jennifer Mierisch and Dr. Sarah Justice, Midwest Node Co-Leaders, moderated the sessions.
