  • And if Sam didn't have plenty to keep him busy, he's also published other articles to get the word about about being an out transgender teacher and how to create classrooms that honor gender and sexual diversity. Read more of his work here. 
  • Project Biodiversify (@biodiversifying) is a great resource for teaching methods and materials "aimed at enhancing human diversity and inclusivity in biology courses." https://projectbiodiversify.org
  • Finally, Sam helped create a listserv for teachers to gather information and resources about gender-inclusive biology curriculum. If you would like to join that listserv, please sign up here.
