Welcome! My name is Emily Driessen. I am currently a post-doctoral associate at the University of Minnesota, working in the Lane research group to investigate how college biology instructors teach sex and gender topics in a way that is both accurate and inclusive for transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming students. I earned a Biology PhD from Auburn University while conducting research in the Ballen lab which focused on the impact of active learning strategies on student performance in undergraduate biology courses. My past educational experiences include earning a B.S. in microbiology with a minor in chemistry from North Dakota State University while contributing to research in the McClean Lab as well as earning a M.S. in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics from the University of Kentucky while researching in the Wilhelm lab. Please explore the different tabs to find out about my research, teaching, service & outreach, and what I like to do in my free-time. For my CV, please see the document below.
