The STEM Ambassador Program began in 2016 as a training program for a small cohort of University of Utah scientists. Since then, we have grown to work with over 170 graduate students, post-docs, faculty, staff, and undergraduate students. Scroll down to learn about the scientists who have participated. Contact us if you would like to reach out to a STEM Ambassador.
Note that many Ambassador bios were uploaded when the Ambassador joined the program and may not be current.
When people ask Ann what her dream job would be, her answer is always the same: making one-of-a-kind clothes. She loves the creativity and artistry that pours out of her when designing and sew clothing. She loves having stacks of beautiful fabrics to run her hands over and feast her eyes on. She is a sewist of 30 years, an Etsy shop purveyor of 6 years, and a newly minted fabric designer. And yet, Ann is a scientist at heart and by profession. She loves scientific inquiry, academics, and discourse. Talk about microbes and botany and physics and ethics, and she simply swoons. She has degrees in biology, chemistry, and public health, and her career is making sure people who volunteer to be in research studies are as safe and respected as possible (Director of the University of Utah IRB & Human Research Protection Program). So she is complex and she loves it.
