Carly Busch is a fourth year PhD candidate in ASU's Biology and Society program, advised by Dr. Katelyn Cooper and Dr. Sara Brownell. She researches ways to make undergraduate biology education spaces (e.g., classrooms, research experiences) more inclusive. Currently, she is investigating the impact of an instructor revealing their LGBTQ+ identity during class on the students.
