Clare Mulcahy, a PhD student in the Integrated Biology (iBio) Graduate Program and a member of the Neiman Lab in the Department of Biology, received a graduate assistantship with the Iowa Sciences Academy (ISA) focused on community engagement. ISA is home to a range of programs that support the success of undergraduate students interested in research and scientific communication. Mulcahy is passionate about helping others get the most out of their scientific research experiences and wants to support undergraduate students in their research. “I want to develop my teaching and mentoring skills while also helping others learn how to communicate about science more effectively,” she said in her application. “The ISA Graduate Assistantship position would also provide opportunities to apply science communication skills in a wider variety of settings.”
