Growing Project BioEYES: A Reflection on 20 Years of Developing and Replicating a K-12 Science Outreach Program.

Project BioEYES celebrated 20 years in K12 schools during the 2022-2023 school year. Using live zebrafish () during week-long science experiments, sparks the interest of students and teachers from school districts, locally and globally. Over the past two decades, BioEYES has been replicated in different ways based on the interest and capacity of our partners.

Acceptability and Feasibility of Peer Specialist-Delivered Virtual Reality Job Interview Training for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness: A Qualitative Study.

This study explored peer specialists' perspectives on delivering vocational interventions, especially Virtual Reality Job Interview Training (VR-JIT). Five focus groups of peer specialists ( = 34) explored their beliefs about vocational services, including VR-JIT. We trained eight peer specialists to be VR-JIT "instructors" and interviewed them about using VR-JIT in their mental health practice.

Project BioEYES: Accessible Student-Driven Science for K-12 Students and Teachers.

BioEYES, a nonprofit outreach program using zebrafish to excite and educate K-12 students about science and how to think and act like scientists, has been integrated into hundreds of under-resourced schools since 2002. During the week-long experiments, students raise zebrafish embryos to learn principles of development and genetics. We have analyzed 19,463 participating students' pre- and post-tests within the program to examine their learning growth and attitude changes towards science.
