Our Story

BiteScis was conceived of by a group of scientists and communicators who met through ComSciCon. ComSciCon began in 2013 and is a series of communicating science workshops organized by graduate students for graduate students. Based on research and national STEM performance, they saw a need to unite educators and researchers as equal partners in the quest to engage and excite students while improving learning outcomes. For more on this, see  Why Bitescis?

BiteScientist Educators

BiteScis lesson plans work well in the classroom because they are developed by people who know classroom needs and constraints like the back of their whiteboard. Our educators are the backbone of the program. From initial stages to final classroom testing, nothing gets the BiteSci’s stamp of approval without going through these toughest of critics first.

BiteScientist Researchers

BiteScientist researchers come from all different backgrounds, but have one thing in common:, a love for science and desire to share it with the world. Much of our network comes from ComSciCon alums and our workshops co-hosted with ComSciCon every year, but we are always accepting new BiteScientist researchers onto our team.
