Philip Bell
Associate Professor of EducationI study how and why people learn about science and technology — and how it relates to what they want or need to accomplish in their lives. I am a Co-PI of the COSEE-OLC center. As someone who works in the learning sciences field, I’ve studied everyday learning, cognition and expertise in science; children's argumentation; the use of digital technologies within youth culture; the design and use of novel learning technologies; and new approaches to inquiry instruction in science. I direct the ethnographic and design-based research of the

Rachel Benbrook is working on building a network of volunteer sea kayakers and involving them in citizen science in Puget Sound.
Sea Kayaking BiologistI am a 10 year resident of Puget Sound, currently living on Guemes Island. I coordinate the Spartina Survey Program for People For Puget Sound. We recruit and train volunteer sea kayakers to survey the shorelines of Puget Sound for invasive Spartina grass. I am looking for ways to build a network of citizen science volunteer kayakers and connect them with researchers that are doing good work for the Sound.

Amanda Bruner
Amanda Bruner earned her Master of Science from the University of Washington's School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences in 2010. Her thesis work described the effects of a common aquatic contaminant on the development and reproduction in the threespine stickleback fish. Amanda is a founding member of the University of Washington's student chapter of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science and was a NSF GK-12 teaching fellow in the Ocean And Coastal Integrated Science GK-12 Program from 2008-2010. In addition to her work in biology, Amanda's graduate work included the development and assessment of culturally responsive environmental science curricular materials.I am a: Scientist, Educator, Graduate Student, Interested Citizen

Cyndi Dawson is working on
Marine EcologistCyndi Dawson - Reef Check California Science Director Cyndi Dawson, Science Director for Reef Check California, oversees diver training, manages data collection, analysis, and dissemination, and liaisons with academic and agency scientists. She has extensive experience monitoring California's nearshore rocky reefs and has been with Reef Check California since 2006. Cyndi received a Bachelor's degree in Marine Biology from Humboldt State University in 1996 and a Master's degree in Marine Science from San Francisco State at Moss Landing Marine Labs in 2007. Cyndi's academic research has ranged from using acoustic telemetry to determine habitat use and movement of marine organisms to the study of population dynamics of rockfish. Before returning to graduate school in 2003, she was a biologist for the California Department of Fish and Game for 5 years and worked to standardize monitoring protocols for rocky subtidal reefs in California and develop management strategies for Marine Protected Areas. Cyndi has taught Scientific Diving at Humboldt State University and Moss Landing Marine Labs and is currently an active NAUI instructor.
