The research base on students' knowledge of plants has established that misunderstandings develop in the early years of formal education and can persist through middle, secondary, and tertiary education. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that a lack of emphasis on teaching biology from an organismic perspective helps explain the range…

The purpose of this study was to examine session topics (n = 1,636) and clinicians (n = 2,263) at The Midwest Clinic from 2000-2019 using abstracts and biographies acquired from conference programs. Sessions were coded into one of 23 content codes and one of four audience codes using a coding scheme developed by the researchers. Clinicians were…

This paper brings together two scholars, Filipina/CHamorro and Cantonese (respectively), to engage in collaborative story-sharing sessions.

Background: Additive manufacturing or 3-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology with increasing prevalence in non-industrial settings such as university and school settings. However, printers are often located in spaces not designed for this purpose. Methods: 3D-printer use in 11 university and K-12 schools was evaluated by identifying…
