Plenary Speaker: Dr. Marty Harvill

Bringing Back Creativity and Exploration in Science: Supporting K-16 Research Experiences

ICRSME is excited to have Dr. Marty Harvill (Department of Biology, Baylor University) speak at the upcoming consultation. Dr. Harvill has decades of experience working with undergraduate students in research and has worked with local schools in Valladolid through the iBEARS Program since 2021. 


His talk, Bringing Back Creativity and Exploration in Science: Supporting K-16 Research Experiences, will focus on his participation in engaging with students and teachers in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURES). First, he will outline his history of adapting his courses at Baylor University into CURES, having helped his students produce about 250 research projects and posters in biology and science education and 15 publications in Baylor University’s Undergraduate Research Journal Scientia. Next, he will outline his current research and educational project, Inclusive Biologist Exploring Active Research with Students (iBEARS), a program he created where undergraduates, in groups of three, lead local 3-8th grade students through the scientific process similar to their own experiences in CURES courses. Specific to this consultation, he will also talk about iBEARS International and his work with a CEZ Primaria in Valladolid, Yucatan, Mexico, where he mentors students to teach science modules, science processes, and English. Lastly, he will outline examples of how to increase undergraduate research participation and engage with fellow ICRSME Friends about over two decades of experience.
