TEDxIUPUI Talk Title: Inspiring Students in STEM How can we inspire students to view the STEM disciplines as interesting, relevant, and accessible to all? Can real life examples and interactions with scientists inspire students to pursue the many opportunities available to them in STEM fields? How can we recruit and prepare the best STEM teachers to guide the next generation? We'll examine these questions in the context of raising the next generation of STEM thinkers and problem solvers.

I was one of her students a few years ago and I believe she is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. An amazing Biology professor and such an inspiring woman. Thank you Dr. Marrs for all I've learned from you.

Great talk, but the resolution on the slides is really really bad. I can't read most of them and it made interpreting the data a lot harder. Thanks for the talk though! still got the message :)
