Student Spotlight
The Incubator’s Student Spotlight series aims to introduce young, aspiring scientists to topics that spark their curiosity. High school students interview scientists, challenge misconceptions about science and scientists and explore connections between science, technology, art, and society.
Rockefeller University graduate students join in the conversation – focusing on science and society, and what it is like to conduct scientific research at the bench. Our RU guest bloggers translate their research to a broad audience, and ultimately separate the science from the hype.
Call for Contributions
We are always looking for student perspectives on science, education and outreach. If you have insights regarding these topics, please pitch your contributions for #StudentSpotlight to Lizzie.

Join us for our Educator Virtual Strategies Roundtable!
On October 20th, from 5:30 - 7:00pm, join RockEDU for an open conversation about successes, pitfalls, and outstanding questions for making the most of virtual learning. This group will be a mix of educators who ran virtual programming over the summer and teachers starting out their virtual teaching this fall. We look forward to everyone learning from each other!
Strategies discussed will be shared with all participants as a guide for virtual learning shortly after the session.
This session is free, with 1.5 hours of CTLE-credit is available upon completion. Recommended for educators who work with middle and/or high school students, irrespective of geographic location (NY and beyond!), school type (DOE, private, charter, etc), and education type (formal educators, outreach educators and anyone in between!).
First come, first serve. Virtual “seating” is limited! Please inform us if you need to cancel your reservation, so that we can pull educators from our waitlist!
