Patrick Wilson earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. After graduating, he worked in several hospital systems in the Midwest and East Coast, where he earned my histotechnologist license (HTL) and went on to train other histologists at a medical laboratory school program in Virginia. In 2018, Patrick joined graduate school at the University of Northern Colorado in Dr. Aaron Apawu’s lab. He was awarded his master’s degree in analytical chemistry, studying the effects of harmful noise on dopamine release in the auditory processing system. He then transitioned into the Chemical Education Ph.D. program, where his dissertation evaluated climate change coverage in undergraduate chemistry courses and general chemistry textbooks under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Weinrich. Patick's research interests include improving an interdisciplinary approach to climate change education in STEM, course/curriculum design innovations in chemistry, and assessing and improving faculty professional development in implementing innovative research practices in their teaching.
