Outside advisers
We are grateful for advice from a number of outside experts. We received valuable guidance from Maria Charles, professor of sociology and director of the Broom Center for Demography at the University of California, Santa Barbara; Matthew Kloser, director of the Notre Dame Center for STEM education at the University of Notre Dame; Cheryl Leggon, associate professor in the school of public policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology; and Carol O’Donnell, director of the Smithsonian Science Education Center.
We also benefited from conversations about the project design and survey questionnaire with a group of staff at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) including Shirley Malcom, director of education and human resources; Iris Wagstaff, STEM program director; Quincy Brown, program director STEM education research; Celeste Rohlfing, chief operating officer; and Tiffany Lohwater, director of the office of public programs.
While the design and analysis of the project was guided by our consultations with these advisers, Pew Research Center is solely responsible for the design, interpretation and reporting of the data.
