Sunday, May 18, 2025, 7:15 – 8:45 pm, Banyan/Citrus

Sponsored by: Females of Vision et al (FoVea)

Organizers: Diane Beck, University of Illinois & Charisse B. Pickron, University of Minnesota

Two panelists will share ideas on demystifying the hidden curriculum in science– namely the implicit, but essential skills for self-advocacy. They will discuss strategies for advocating for oneself and provide guidance on teaching these skills to graduate and undergraduate students, supporting the development of a strong pipeline of future vision scientists.

Speakers:

Melissa Schoenlein, Assistant Professor of Psychology, High Point University, FoVea planning committee member

Mary A. Peterson, Professor Emerita, University of Arizona, FoVea planning committee member
