Professional Community Leadership

Community and institute leadership

• Director of Strategy and Advancement and PI, RIOS Institute, 2019 - current, rebranding ongoing from SCORE Network, formed in 2019 as lead PI. This virtual institute is housed at Bates, but founded to support a national network of organizations, education researchers, and professional staff that support higher education instructors to make changes in their projects oriented towards social justice. The RIOS Community includes 300 leaders representing 70+ organizations and institutions. RIOS has led conferences, virtual showcases, and multiple virtual learning communities and working groups. After our 2020 social justice and OER learning community, 100% of participants reported it would influence their work, and participants have published nearly 50 OER materials as a result of participating in the network. We have a podcast, Knowledge Unbound, hosted by RIOS Co-director Bryan Dewsbury, and RIOS has published dozens of research articles and books. I oversee 2 additional Directors, 2 Fellows, 2 Advisors, 1 full-time staff, up to 8 student researchers and advisors, and 2 significantly involved contractors (communications and evaluation). I also lead grant writing, manage budgets, and facilitate leadership meetings and retreats. The broader center work also employs additional contractors through our collaborative programming. I also lead select RIOS activities, acting as consultant to multiple organizations, leading book clubs and other professional development activities, and helping build community across RIOS programs. I have also authored or co-authored 19 books and articles aligned with RIOS philosophies during this time, 5 focused on the activities and philosophy of the RIOS Institute (Cangialosi et al. 2021; Diaz Eaton et al. 2022; Gesing et al. 2022, Diaz Eaton et al. 2023, Villegas Martinez et al. 2023). 
• Co-Lead organizer with Stanley Lo and AAAS, “A new Vision for Change.” The first in-person meeting of this working group will be in September, 2025 at AAAS headquarters in Washington, DC. We are meeting to kick off an effort to update and revision the undergraduate biology curriculum guidelines, Vision and Change.
• Co-Lead organizer with Victor Piercey, “Research Collaboration Working Group: Co-Creating a Community Data Visualization Tool with Community Partners,” Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI),University of Chicago, May, 2024. This follow-up to the previous working group focused on the VECINA project and transferring it to partner control and use.
• Lead organizer, “Summer research program: Social Justice and Data Science: Networks, Policy and Education,” Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), Brown University, Summer 2022 and 2023 Link to Summer 22. As a traditional semester research program I coordinated a research program for over two dozen scholars from early career to full professor and industry-employed, the organizing committee offered three project-based workshops (network science, policy, and education), and we coordinated multiple outreach events and publishing opportunities. Unlike a traditional semester program at a mathematics institute, this was offered over two summers to allow more diverse participation. Also secured co-sponsorship from AMS.
• Lead organizer, “Research Collaboration Working Group: Interdisciplinary and critical data science motivated by social justice,” Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI),University of Chicago, January - February, 2023. Led and co-organized with Jude Higdon of QSIDE Institute, a month-long collaborative research group with over a dozen researchers from early career to full professor and industry-employed. Two major research projects were accelerated, both of which were grounded in local community activism. Also secured co-sponsorship from AMS.
• Director of Partnerships and Communication, QUBES, 2014 - 2021. Virtual Center to support instructor development for teaching quantitative biology, co-founded in 2014. As a leadership team we developed both the cyberinfrastructure and social infrastructure to achieve a sustainable community of practitioners, open educational resources, and professional development. My role initially was in partnership building the QUBES Consortium, and managing communications. Later work transitioned much of the work to staff roles, and my focus shifted to diversifying our funding portfolio for sustainability and special projects which focused on equity and inclusion in data science. Management of QUBES successfully transitioned to BioQUEST in August 2021 at the conclusion of primary NSF support.
• Lead Project Manager, “Math Mamas” - A digital narrative project coordinating three partnership projects: 1) NSF INCLUDES Collaboration/In-kind support with AWM on their www.womendomath.org site to provide profiles of women mathematicians who are also mothers (led by Dr. Hall). 2) A Special Issue of the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics (led by Dr. Harris) and 3) a blog with for AMS (led by Dr. Davie Lawrence - who continues to lead other current ongoing Math Mamas initiatives), 2016 - 2019

Teaching and Advising

Teaching as Instructor of Record

Theses advised as lead advisor

*Resulted in publication, +Presented work at national conference

Bates College: DCS does not have a major, but we can serve as lead for Interdisciplinary thesis and for other programs if they approve.

• +Yuhao (Eric) Zhao (23-24, Mathematics Honors)
• +Tess Hicks (21-22, Mathematics) “Math for Liberation: Designing a Math of Voting Systems Unit for Lewiston Middle School”
• *+Ognyan Simeonov (21-22, Mathematics Honors) “Humans vs. COVID-19: Data-driven Modeling of Disease Spread on College Campuses”

Unity College: Theses at Unity are not required and have 2 advisors each, typically a within-major lead and an external consultant. Math/Stats did not have a major, but I occasionally advised students in the minor as lead.

†Resulted in college-wide award ‡Applied/community-based thesis option

• ‡ Timothy Beaulieu (2018) “Evaluating effectiveness of Phase I water treatment for Narragansett Bay” with community partner, Department of Environmental Management, Rhode Island
• † Joe Moran (2017) “Mitigation of Chronic Wasting Disease though strategic harvest management regimes”
• †*Alexis White (2013) “Modeling Effectiveness of Tick Control by a Species that Exhibits Predator-prey Role Reversal” 

Academic advising

Bates College: STEM Scholars (underrepresented student cohort in STEM) in 2021 - 2023.

Unity College: 30 academic advisees per year (8-10 assigned each year at the end of the students’ first semester).

Student supervising

Bates College: Average of 3 grant-funded research students per year and 3-4 DCS-funded students per year (1-2 attached tutors per semester, a grader, and the DCS student engagement coordinator)

Unity College: Average of 3 supervised work-study and grant-funded students per year

Club advising

SACNAS Student chapter (co-advisor), Bates College, 2023 - current

Humans vs Zombies club, Unity College, 2012 - 2018

American Sign Language club, Unity College, 2013 - 2016

Spanish Language Table, Unity College, 2011 - 2013

External advising

In addition to college-level advising, I also occasionally serve as a mentor for undergraduate, graduate and postdocs at other institutions. This is sometimes codified through official appointments on thesis committees, but often not. Typically the students I agree to mentor share queer, Latinx, and/or other relevant identities and are involved in various areas of science research related to my own (e.g. dissertation in science identity formation in chemistry, thesis in community activism informed technology development, thesis in representation of race and ethnicity individuals in STEM curriculum materials, postdoc in understanding the formation of healthy networks for social good). The level of commitment varies from occasional check-ins during the duration of the project to weekly meetings in one case during my sabbatical.
