Originally trained in physics, Mayumi Shinohara co-directed the Understanding Science for Teaching project at WestEd for 15 years, focusing on children's thinking in science and practice-based professional development. Mayumi is currently at Vanderbilt University as a doctoral student. Her research focuses on children's mathematical and scientific reasoning in and out of school, particularly social and material mechanisms for developing thinking (e.g., participation structures, argumentation, inscription, and models).
Jennifer Folsom began her career in science education in high school, conducting research in a pharmacology lab and teaching K–5 students at a neighborhood environmental education center. Since then she has worked with numerous school districts, nonprofits, and universities to conceptualize and produce innovative science curricula for students and teachers in collaboration with scientists, teachers, and science education professors. Currently, Jennifer mingles her writing skills, teaching insights, and science knowledge as a curriculum writer and staff developer with the Understanding Science for Teaching project at WestEd.
