Many national reports call for K-12 teachers to increase their content knowledge, expertise in student-centered learning methods, and skills in working with an increasingly diverse student population. Historically, most teacher professional development (PD) has not addressed these multiple challenges. We evaluated two PD models--research…

Bruthers, C. Brooke; Hedman, Emma L.; Matyas, Marsha Lakes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
While many professional societies, colleges, and universities offer undergraduate summer research experience (URE) programs for students, few have systematically evaluated their programs for impacts on the fellows. The American Physiological Society (APS) developed and administered multiple UREs with varying target groups: students with and…

Bruthers, C. Brooke; Matyas, Marsha Lakes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have proven to be one of the most valuable approaches to increasing the number of underrepresented students earning degrees in STEM fields. However, there are many questions about how these impacts occur. Improving grades, experiencing laboratory work, and working with research staff are important…

Stieben, Margaret; Halpin, Patricia A.; Matyas, Marsha Lakes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Since 2005, nearly 600 Physiology Understanding Week (PhUn Week) events have taken place across the U.S., involving American Physiological Society (APS) members in K-12 outreach. The program seeks to build student understanding of physiology and physiology careers, assist teachers in recognizing physiology in their standards-based curriculum, and…

Matyas, Marsha Lakes; Silverthorn, Dee U. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2015
In the 1990s, the American Physiological Society (APS), like most organizations, was exploring ways to support members and trainees via online resources and programs. Online communication was still primarily accomplished via e-mail, listserves, and websites, although discussion boards and social media were growing in popularity among researchers…

Pressley, Thomas A.; Limson, Melvin; Byse, Miranda; Matyas, Marsha Lakes – Advances in Physiology Education, 2011
The "Healthy Heart Race" activity provides a hands-on demonstration of cardiovascular function suitable for lay audiences. It was field tested during the United States of America Science and Engineering Festival held in Washington, DC, in October 2010. The basic equipment for the activity consisted of lengths of plastic tubing, a hand…
