MMSA Title: Research Associate
Bethany Humphrey joined MMSA in February of 2020. She has a B.S. in Economics from the University of Maine, and is also a graduate of the Maine School of Science and Math. Prior to joining MMSA, Bethany worked as the outreach assistant at the Shaw Institute in Blue Hill, communicating the impacts of research on ocean pollution, plastics, and climate change to the local community. This work, combined with her lived experiences as a Mainer, ignited Bethany’s passion for bridging the gaps between scientific discovery, students and educators, and community members. Her work at MMSA reinforces her belief that anyone can get involved with math and science, and her dedication to diversifying the field of STEM. Bethany assists MMSA’s research team with data analysis and survey development for the WeatherBlur citizen science program and Community-Based Environmental Learning projects throughout Maine. Outside of work, Bethany enjoys hiking, roller skating, reading, and exploring nature.
