Kyle is a first year doctoral student in the Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Physiology Program. His research interests exist at the intersection of how power exists in three scales (individual, community, and cultural) and science learning. Specifically, he hopes to look at science learning and engagement through a critical lens with systems that traverse the three scales. In his free time, he is either catching up on new shows or playing Pokémon games (Unite, specifically).
