Deborah Anderson is a professor of biology who is dedicated to promoting the growth mindset in her students. She trains students to use retrieval-based practices to learn material deeply – a technique which prepares them for success in professional programs and careers post-graduation. Anderson’s research focuses on ischyromyid and sciuravid taxonomy and evolution. She is currently writing an illustrated guide to the Bighorn Basin ischyromyids.
