Ms. Adrienne Rubin
|
Ms. Rubin began her teaching career at her alma mater, Andrew Jackson High School in Queens. She was always fascinated by the natural world and inherited her mother’s love of animals. Ms. Rubin received her Bachelor of Science degree at Buffalo State and Master of Arts from Hunter College. In 1980, she left teaching for a successful career in the world of photography where she developed a series of advertising campaigns and books of babies dressed in animal costumes.
After a 17-year hiatus, she returned to teaching biology. Ms. Rubin received a fellowship from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons where she worked in a molecular biology lab studying transposons (jumping genes). She is a co-author of a paper as a result of that work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. An avid reader, she also enjoys 60’s music and recently received the Ten Year Award from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center where she volunteers in Pediatrics. Ms. Rubin received the prestigious “Teachers Who Make a Difference Award” from the New York Times. This year, Ms. Rubin was named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellow at the Dolan DNA Learning Center where she will work on Biotechnology lessons for NYC teachers. This is Ms. Rubin's 24th year teaching biology.
