Dr. Yee Lian Chew, Research Fellow, Flinders University, Australia

Dr. Chew is an early-career researcher and an emerging leader in cellular neuroscience using the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism. Dr. Chew was awarded an NHMRC Investigator Grant 2020 (EL1) and Rebecca L Cooper Project Grant 2020. She is currently Chair of the Australian Academy of Science EMCR Forum Executive. “The JoVE Research Innovation Award 2022 celebrates creativity and impact using video platforms to share research knowledge. Anything that improves fairness, equity and inclusion for the scientific community will lead to more groundbreaking and impactful science. I look forward to seeing the entries for this year’s competition – it is an honor to be a judge for this award and celebrate these excellent community-led initiatives.”

Dr. Carlos C. Goller, Associate Teaching Professor, North Carolina State University

Dr. Goller received his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Emory University. He is an editorial member of many academic journals and has co-authored 40+ publications. Apart from his research interest in molecular microbiology and metagenomics, he is also interested in teaching with technology and the scholarship of teaching and learning. “JoVE has allowed me to bring new ideas, research, and equipment into the course discussions. As an educator and Mexican American scientist, I am excited to learn about the innovative ways researchers use JoVE to advance their research and share impactful science.”

Dr. Margaret Saha, Chancellor Professor, College of William and Mary

Dr. Saha is a molecular developmental biologist. Her NIH-funded research focuses on the genetic mechanisms that control the development of the brain, significantly ‘how embryos can recover from an injury effectively.’ Dr. Saha has served as the Director of the William and Mary HHMI Undergraduate Science Education Grant and as the faculty advisor to the W&M iGEM team. Her various awards include a Presidential Faculty Fellowship, Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award and becoming a AAAS Fellow. 

Researchers worldwide are turning to video articles to effectively communicate and visualize nuances associated with handling lab materials, using scientific equipment, and technically intricate steps of experiments. Are you one of them? How have you advanced your research or lab training by using JoVE resources or publishing your methods with JoVE?

Let us celebrate and share your achievements with the science education community!
