Anna Pshenichny-Mamo contributed to the professional development course for guides at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History.
Her session focused on approaches for integrating Nature of Science (NOS) into museum tours, drawing on guidance practices developed through her research in collaboration with experienced guides.
The course created space for rich discussions around research-based practices and highlighted the vital role guides play as mediators between visitors and science. It also showed how practice-oriented professional development can empower guides to meaningfully embed NOS principles in informal learning environments.
