About Me

Lisa Norberg: Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Lisa Norberg and I am a doctoral student at the University of Houston in the Curriculum and Instruction Department with a focus on Science Education. I have been in the C&I program almost four years and hopefully I will be finishing up and graduating next Spring! I'm still not exactly sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I know that I would like to focus on adult education, either at the post-secondary level or in curriculum development for training programs. I am currently working as a research assistant at MD Anderson. My work focuses on developing new pharmaceuticals to help fight cancer.
