Eilene Edejer

Clinical Associate Professor

My professional mantra is to make data and its analysis available and meaningful for different audiences - translating this goal to my teaching and interactions with research stakeholders. Understanding data can be overwhelming for some and demystifying it can make data accessible and valuable. I am a strong supporter of open communication between teacher and student and among research partners. The practical application of scientific inquiry in partnership with stakeholders is critical and the ability to partner with a broad range of stakeholders including teachers, principals, administrators, parents, external partners and the general public is essential.
