Reaching the Researcher: Collaborations between the Education and the Scientific Communities for the Advancement of STEM and Geosciences
Reaching the Researcher: Collaborations between the Education and the Scientific Communities for the Advancement of STEM and Geosciences
Session ID#: 81471
Session Description:
From teacher-researcher experiences, research experiences with undergraduates, to student-researcher mentorships, there are a myriad of possible ways to collaborate with a researcher. These collaborations can have pitfalls and/or be a resounding success. In this session we want to explore the following questions: (1) What makes some collaborations more successful than others? (2) How does one approach a researcher to start collaborations? (3) How is success measured in these collaborations? In this session, we invite presentations that demonstrate the capacity to build successful collaborations with the scientific community and measure or evaluate the impact for both the researcher and participants of such collaborations.
