Hello, I’m Your Science Sister!
Why 'Science Sister'?
While I was a teaching assistant for both lower- and upper-division science courses at UC Davis, I received consistent feedback from my students that they enjoyed my "older sister" teaching style. With that in mind, I hope to continue channeling my "older sister" vibe and help as many aspiring scientists as possible!
My Journey
I attended the University of California (UC), San Diego, for my undergraduate studies and received my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. From my experience as a medical scribe, tutor, and undergraduate researcher, I discovered my passion for science communication and teaching. So, I decided to go to graduate school.
My doctoral research in Dr. Maria Marco’s lab focused on host-microbe interactions with probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei. I earned several awards for my research, including the ISAPP Student Fellow Association Poster Award and the TFA FERMENTATION Poster Award. I also received a Science Communication Fellowship from the Powerhouse Science Center. In 2018, I established the Collaborative Research Learning (CRL) Program at Sheldon High School, and I have served as its director ever since. I completed my Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology (DEB) internship with Samba Scientific as a content writer. In September 2023, I graduated from the University of California, Davis with a Ph.D. in Microbiology with a Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology.
Continuing my passion for science communication, I landed a position as a Medical Writer. Now I write content for healthcare professionals – wow, life does come full circle! I now have a better handle on my work-life balance, so I can finally pursue my passion project: content creation!
Ok, enough about me. Let’s get started on your success!
Glory Bui, Ph.D.
