Dr. Scherr\u2019s research explores hands-on physics labs, faculty development, and inclusive teaching in quantum mechanics. A leader in physics education, she has served as a conference organizer, doctoral advisor and community leader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, she was named a fellow of the American Physical Society for her foundational work on energy learning, classroom video analysis, and her leadership in the physics education research community. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check out the welcome post on the Physical Review Journals website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the appointment, Dr. Scherr shared, “Peer review is one of the most important forms of communication among scientists. I think of the review process as an authentic conversation between peers about a matter that is important to both of them. A framework of mutual understanding and growth improves the quality of research in the field by creating conditions in which colleagues appreciate peer review as a valuable source of substantive feedback on their work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations, Dr. Scherr! Your continued work enriches the physics education community and helps pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative future in the field. Through her research and leadership, she supports both current educators and the next generation of physicists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
