Double STEM major brings awareness to mental health on campus
Major: Biomathematics and Computational Science
Graduation: Spring 2020

“Florida State has given me extraordinary research and leadership opportunities. I believe I have the skills to not only be a great scientist, but to be a great person because of my experiences here.”

Senior Jack Fox Maria Keen is applying their research experiences in the STEM field at Florida State University to help advance mental health awareness. A native of Parkland, Florida, Keen transferred to Florida State in fall 2017 after graduating from Tallahassee Community College with Honors and an associate’s degree. “That’s when I realized there was this whole realm where you can combine math and biology, which is what I really enjoy doing,” Keen said.

SC doctoral student Ashley Gannon attended the Women In Numerical Methods for PDEs and their Applications workshop at the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS), this summer. The workshop was a two-fold effort: first, the gathering celebrated the accomplishments of women in numerical PDEs. The event organizers, Nilima Nigam (Simon Fraser University), Marsha Berger (Courant Institute, NYU), Mary-Catherine Kropinski (Simon Fraser University) and Anna-Karin Tornberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), used the event to feature a portion of the many notable achievements of women in the field. Second, the workshop served as an opportunity to encourage the participation of young female researchers in the field, and as a professional networking opportunity for women.
