Kudos: Atwater receives research award from NARST
Mary Atwater, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, recently received the 2019 Distinguished Contributions to Science Education Through Research Award from the National Association for Research in Science Teaching (NARST).
The award recognizes an individual who, through research over an extended period of time, has made outstanding and continuing contributions, provided notable leadership and made a substantial impact in the area of science education. She will receive the award on March 31 during NARST’s 2019 annual International Conference in Baltimore.
“It is an honor to be receiving the 2019 NARST Distinguished Contribution to Research Award from my science education colleagues,” said Atwater, who became NARST’s first president of color in 2015. “I made a commitment that I would work with others toward making the association much more diverse in its research agendas and its membership.”
