Today I met with Joanna Price. Joanna attended Villanova University in Philadelphia and received her bachelors degree in biology. She interned in a lab, and then received her PhD from Sheffield University in England. Joanna is the Coordinator of Community Programs in Science. She has had this position for three years. A typical day for Joanna involves setting up meetings, talking with different people, and designing programs. One of her science programs is SCHOLARS, which is a summer program for health students from Hill Regional Career Magnet School. Another program is the Science Pathway Program. The Science Pathway Program works with middle to high school students and has special events throughout the year. These special events include the planetarium, neuroscience day, and engineering. She has many other programs and multi-tasking and staying on top of them is a challenging part of her job. The nice part of Joanna's job is that she gets to meet so many people, from students to teachers to scientists.
