The Science Education Council of Ohio (SECO) recognized Heather Bryan, Lead Educator for Feed the World, with a 2025 Friend of Science Award. Through her work with the Ohio Corn Checkoff, Heather develops curriculum resources that support teachers in exploring scientific concepts through agriculture. After teaching science in the classroom, she now leads educators through hands-on workshops where they master everything from soil chemistry to plant genetics. Through the program, science educators gain free supplies, curriculum materials, and direct connections to Ohio farmers.

Congratulations, Heather!
