Gin, Logan E.; Pais, Danielle; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education and in science careers, yet few studies have explored why this may be. A primary predictor of student persistence in science is participating in undergraduate research. However, it is unclear to what extent students with disabilities are participating in research…

Gin, Logan E.; Wiesenthal, Nicholas J.; Ferreira, Isabella; Cooper, Katelyn M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Graduate students are more than six times as likely to experience depression compared with the general population. However, few studies have examined how graduate school specifically affects depression. In this qualitative interview study of 50 life sciences PhD students from 28 institutions, we examined how research and teaching affect depression…

Wiesenthal, Nicholas J.; Gin, Logan E.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Depression is one of the top mental health concerns among biology graduate students and has contributed to the "graduate student mental health crisis" declared in 2018. Several prominent science outlets have called for interventions to improve graduate student mental health, yet it is unclear to what extent graduate students…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Gin, Logan E.; Brownell, Sara E. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) are identities that can be kept hidden or invisible and that carry negative stereotypes. Depression is one of the most common CSIs among undergraduates. However, to our knowledge, no studies have explored how students manage depression as a CSI in the context of undergraduate research, a…
