Few LGBTQ+ Science and Engineering Instructors Come Out to Students, Despite Potential Benefits
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Jun;23(2):ar17. doi: 10.1187/cbe.23-10-0181.ABSTRACTLGBTQ+ undergraduates have higher attrition from science and engineering (S&E) than straight and cisgender undergraduates and perceive that having LGBTQ+ instructors would benefit them. However, it is unknown how many S&E instructors are LGBTQ+, the extent to which they disclose this information to students, and how disclosure affects all students, both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+. In study I, we surveyed 108 LGBTQ+ S&E instructors across the U.S. to explore the extent to which they reveal their LGBTQ+ identities across professional contexts ...

Perspectives from Undergraduate Life Sciences Faculty: Are We Equipped to Effectively Accommodate Students With Disabilities in Our Classrooms?
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Jun;23(2):ar18. doi: 10.1187/cbe.23-05-0094.ABSTRACTHigher education has evolved in ways that may increase the challenges life science faculty face in providing accommodations for students with disabilities. Guided by Expectancy-Value Theory, we interviewed 34 life sciences faculty instructors from institutions nationwide to explore faculty motivation to create disability-inclusive educational experiences. We found that faculty in our sample perceive that providing most standard accommodations is a manageable but often challenging task. Further, faculty in our sample feel that improving accommodatio...

Exploring Undergraduate Biochemistry Students' Gesture Production Through an Embodied Framework
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Jun;23(2):ar16. doi: 10.1187/cbe.23-06-0106.ABSTRACTInterpreting three-dimensional models of biological macromolecules is a key skill in biochemistry, closely tied to students' visuospatial abilities. As students interact with these models and explain biochemical concepts, they often use gesture to complement verbal descriptions. Here, we utilize an embodied cognition-based approach to characterize undergraduate students' gesture production as they described and interpreted an augmented reality (AR) model of potassium channel structure and function. Our analysis uncovered two emergent patterns of ge...

Beyond Gender and Race: The Representation of Concealable Identities Among College Science Instructors at Research Institutions
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Jun;23(2):ar9. doi: 10.1187/cbe.23-09-0170.ABSTRACTConcealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) are identities that can be kept hidden and carry negative stereotypes. To understand the potential influence instructors have as role models, we must first explore the identities instructors have and whether they disclose those identities to undergraduates. We surveyed national samples of science instructors (n = 1248) and undergraduates (n = 2428) at research institutions to assess the extent to which instructors hold CSIs, whether they reveal those identities to undergraduates, how the prevalence of CSIs a...
