Awareness, engagement, and professional preparation in geoscience:
How University of California Museum of Paleontology resources and partnerships
are reaching broader audiences
Dr. White joined the UCMP in July 2012 as
Director of Education and Outreach. She comes to the UCMP after a 22-year
history at San Francisco State University where she held positions of Professor
of Geosciences and Associate Dean of the College of Science and Engineering.
She taught undergraduate classes in paleontology, historical geology, and
oceanography, and guided research projects with graduate students in Miocene
diatoms of the Monterey Formation of CA, and fossil cold seep assemblages in
the Franciscan Complex.
From her web site: "My
history with the UCMP is interwoven with the Understanding Evolution and
Understanding Sciences sites, having served on both project advisory boards. In
my current roles I am connecting broader audiences with UCMP online resources."
