A BIT ABOUT ME

My name is Andreia Figueiredo Dexheimer and I am a biologist interested in Animal Learning and Biology Education Research. I am originally from Brazil and currently, I'm a postdoctoral fellow with the STEM Center at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. At the STEM Center, I combine my background in cognitive ecology with my passion and training in education to conduct research on the development of science interest and science identity in middle and high school students.
