In pivotal moments in one's life, often times the path of least resistance can take you far. Other times, making that big leap in the opposite direction can take you further and teach you more. When your goals in life are to educate others, sometimes conversing with others<i> </i>is the best way to make important decisions. Dr. Jeff Seeman was one of those others in my life. This presentation will discuss how my life's educational goals were influenced by the support of those around me. We will explore an overview of my practical and empirical work regarding effective methodologies for developing the next generation of scientists and science educators. Additionally, the presentation will model impactful examples of my work that can be used for deeper science learning and meaningful academic communication in universities and industrial settings.
