	My research focuses on how people use science while making decisions about various socioscientific issues and the effects of evolution understanding and acceptance on functional scientific literacy. I am currently developing an assessment of how students apply science content learned in class to situations outside of the classroom. Please contact me if you are interested in undergraduate research opportunities related to science education! I also work with secondary science teachers on how to incorporate socioscientific issues as part of their teaching and how to handle controversial topics in the classroom.
