• Do you have previous experience in mentorship or educational outreach? Please list here (200 words)

  I have served as a mentor for PlantingScience, undergraduate biology students, and undergraduate interns doing summer research programs sponsored by the Department of Energy.

  
  
• Which of the following best describes your career stage?

  Ph.D.

  
  
• Profile Question 1

  What is your favorite plant? Why?

  What is the coolest thing you have discovered or learned about plants?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 2 here (300 words):

  Plants are dynamic. It is often hard to see but plants are growing and moving all around. Plants are also very important -- how we breathe and eat are a few good examples of our dependence on plants.

  
  
• Profile Question 3

  What lessons have you learned in your career about how science works?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 3 here (300 words):

  Science is exciting and fun. Science is challenging. It is an iterative process. Even the most carefully planned experiments are usually refined at some point.
