Work with
COACh
COACh is a grass-roots organization, founded by University of
Oregon Professor of Chemistry Geraldine Richmond. COACh is devoted to advancing
the careers of women scientists and engineers in the United States and around
the world. Since 2005 I have used my data analysis skills to help COACh better
understand issues involving equity in STEM and how these conditions might be
changed. Reports of this work are listed below.
