MARYROSE WEATHERTON, PH.D.
About
Hello! I'm Maryrose. I am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow working at the University of New Hampshire. I will begin as an Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University in the Fall of 2025.
I received my bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Marquette University and my Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
I am a discipline-based education researcher and my research seeks to explore variation in which resources students use in their programs and what drives their decision-making processes. The overall goal of my research is to leverage this variation to improve equity in STEM higher education.
​
Our scholarship is inherently informed by who we are as people. Before starting my Ph.D., I was an informal science educator for four years. I am a first-generation college student, an avid gardener, and an okay rock climber and skier. I relish traveling, and have been to 11 different countries in the past seven years.

On this site, you'll find my contact information, my CV, and links to open-access versions of all of my publications. Please don't hestiate to reach out with any questions.
