Our Workshop Success Story 🏆
Remember that data visualization workshop we've been developing? The results are in, and they're incredible! We achieved an 80% holistic success rate using our rigorous SDD Framework evaluation. Participants evolved from generic feedback like "make it clearer" to sophisticated technical analysis such as "use more distinctive colors rather than from the same spectrum."
We've transformed this into a detailed case study (to be released August 14, 2025) that could assist other educators in shifting from satisfaction surveys to measuring genuine learning impact. The approach is reproducible and scalable—precisely what the field needs.
A New Podcast Episode You'll Love 🎙️
Our latest Science with Impact Podcast episode features Dr. César Nuño from Biointeractive, and it's a gem!
César shares his journey from an uncertain high school student to a creative leader in science communication. His insights on fostering environments where students lead with curiosity (not just content) resonated with our mission.
Key takeaway: "When we center curiosity and collaboration, we create space for deeper learning, more inclusive science, and more authentic definitions of success."
Perfect listening for your next commute or coffee break!
Could You Help 7 Students Experience Their First Conference? 💙
Here's where I'd love your support: We're raising $7,000 to send 7 undergraduate chemistry researchers to SACNAS or ACS Spring 2026—their very first professional conference. These students represent exactly the kind of diverse, curious minds we need advancing in STEM.
We're just getting started (1% of goal so far), but I know this community believes in opening doors for emerging researchers. Even a small contribution makes a difference, and sharing with your networks helps tremendously.
Thank You for Being Part of This 🙏
Your continued engagement with Science with Impact—reading our updates, listening to episodes, supporting our initiatives—means the world. You're helping us build a community where evidence-based education and authentic support for researchers can flourish.
Keep being amazing, and let me know if you'd like to chat about any of these projects!
It's a beautiful day to practice impactful science,
Vanessa Rosa, Ph.D.
