One vital part of the
TTU/HHMI Science Education Program is the implementation of technology to communicate to internal and external audiences. This technology should allow for organization and utilization of data more efficiently and effectively, and for collaboration among program staff, faculty, students, and the science community at large.
In the implementation of technologies, it is crucial to examine and assess their utility and efficiency to verify that the benefit exceeds the cost of implementation.

TTU/HHMI Graduate Technology Scholar, and
