As a sophomore pursuing education in Psychology, Biochemistry, and a minor in Disability Studies, Vincent is excited to explore ways to improve accommodations and resources for the dis/abled community here at ASU. His participation in the SOCIAL research lab has encouraged him to seek ways to implement research into tangible policies as a RISE ambassador. He plans to work with the SAILS team to identify challenges and communicate ideas from the student body.

“We can look out into our classroom and think that everyone is having a perfectly fine day, but it’s absolutely not true.”
Katelyn Cooper said this, and she would know. Cooper leads the Cooper Biology Education Research Lab at Arizona State University. Her team recently conducted a survey of 2,175 undergraduates who were taking online science classes. The results, published in PLOS ONE in June, showed that a staggering 54% of the students reported experiencing symptoms of depression.
Dr. Jennifer Landin is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at North Carolina State University. She teaches large-enrollment courses in biology, as well as interdisciplinary courses that incorporate humanities into the sciences to encourage a more holistic understanding of traditional and scientific knowledge and appreciation of nature through visual arts. Biological Illustration, a biology course created by Landin, has garnered international attention with its creative approach to teaching science.
