Results from a Survey of National Science Foundation Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) Program Reviewers

Jason Feser is a 2011-12 American Association for the Advancement of Science, Science & Technology Policy Fellow currently placed in the Division of Undergraduate Education at the National Science Foundation. He completed his graduate studies in molecular biology in 2010 at the University of Colorado, Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo. His graduate work explored how the aging process affects chromatin structure and how lifespan can be extended by altering histone expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He received his B.S. in biotechnology from North Dakota State University in 2004, while investigating the occurrence of an infant meningitis causing bacterium Enterobacter sakazakii in bird populations in North Dakota. Prior to attending graduate school, Feser worked at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering, developing high-throughput screening methods to test naval coating efficacy in preventing biofouling.
