4. Professional activity;
My lab examines the hormonal and genetic factors that lead to sex differences in development of the songbird brain. Currently we are examining co-regulatory proteins, such as coactivators and corepressors, and the role they play in regulating how neurons respond to circulating steroid levels. The songbird is an excellent model for understanding how steroid hormones influence brain development and induce sex differences observed in adulthood. I am also a science educator and have two science education research programs. One is on K-12 teacher professional development and the use of extended contact workshops to enhance the science background and skills of K-12 teachers in Georgia and the other is on the use of informal science education opportunities to stimulate middle school aged students to get and stay excited about science. I run a week-long workshop on Animal Behavior and the Brain for K-12 teachers every summer as well as a week-long hands-on “Brain Camp for Kids” summer science camp every year.
5. Expected responsibilities in this program;
To continue participating in professional development, instruction and service. I will continue to conduct research in my field, train postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergrad students in research areas, teach courses for undergraduate and/or graduate students, and serve on various committees to support the institute, college and university.
