Crystal Uminski received a PhD from University of Nebraska - Lincoln, where she worked with Brian Couch to study assessments in introductory biology courses. Crystal's interest in assessments stemmed from her experiences as a high school biology teacher and her previous role developing standardized science tests at the Educational Testing Service. She is currently a postdoc researcher at Rochester Institute of Technology where she is mentored by Dr. Dina Newman and Dr. Kate Wright. Her research at RIT aims to understand students' visual literacy in molecular biology. In her spare time, Crystal enjoys watching movies and meticulously maintains her Letterboxd account. Crystal dotes on her very spoiled cat Delilah.
