How are you teaching evolution? A study with a naturalistic design with multiple instructors across the U.S. shows that you need to show the potential compatibility between evolution and religion with conflict reducing practices. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Hey college science instructors: Why do you ask students to answer questions in front of the class? A new publication by former PhD student Erika Nadile explores reasons for why science instructors do- and do not- call on volunteers to answer questions! journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Check out the posters from the RISE Center at SABER 2025! Thursday night poster session will feature Jynx Pigart presenting on "Undergraduates in STEM fields and women report worse mental health than non-STEM majors and men,"
