As an Assistant Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience, my research focuses on the development of cerebellar neural circuits and structure. The lab uses cutting edge techniques to manipulate neurons in specific parts of the brain to examine resulting behavior. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, my lab is welcoming to diverse students and strives for an inclusive environment.
Antonio Duran, PhD (he/him/él) is an assistant professor in higher and postsecondary education at Arizona State University. His research examines how historical and contemporary legacies of oppression (e.g., racism, heterosexism, trans oppression) influence college student development, experiences, and success. As a queer cisgender Latino man, Antonio is particularly passionate about uplifting queer and trans communities of color, Latinx populations, and other marginalized groups.
Brianne Arviso could have easily stepped into an entry-level job in the construction industry after graduating from high school.
At that time, the Arviso Construction Company, started by her grandfather, Olsen Arviso Sr., had been in business for more than two decades. Her father, uncles and aunts worked for the company, headquartered near Gallup, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation.
“I grew up with the company being a big part of my world,” she says.
