  1. Bethany Cook

  2. About GK-12 • GK-12 is a program funded by the National Science Foundation • Our goal is to have fellows in STEM classrooms, where they will help teachers integrate concepts of computer science into traditional lecture.

  3. About DISSECT

  4. What is Computational Thinking? “Computational thinking is a way humans solve problems; it is not trying to get humans to think like computers.” “Computational thinking is using heuristic reasoning to discover a solution.” J. Wing A CERTAIN WAY OF SOLVING PROBLEMS

  5. What is Grad School?

  6. Why I Chose Grad School • A. I wanted to conduct experiments that I was interested in and would (eventually) make a difference in how science works in the “real” world. • B. I was bored at work. • C. I was crazy. • D. I love to learn. • E. All of the above

  7. Research Titles • Abiotic Variation in Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotopic Signatures due to Temperature in the Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) • Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotopic Signatures, Diet Inferences and Tissue Selection in the Endangered Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus amarus) • Miocene Gomphotherian Diet Inferences from New Mexico using Carbon Isotopic Ratios (Proboscidea) • Isotopic Memory, Incorporation Rates and Fractionation in the Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)
