Ricardo Matos; Mikeas Silva de Lima; Guilherme Balestiero da Silva; Salete Linhares Queiroz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In 2002, the Swedish National Food Agency and researchers from Stockholm University made an announcement regarding the presence of acrylamide in carbohydrate-rich foods that are exposed to high temperatures, with cereals, potatoes, and coffee possibly being the most significant sources of ingestion. Although limited data are available on assessing…

Patricia Moreira; Lisa Rezende; Ashton Goodell; Paul Blowers; Lisa Elfring; Vicente Talanquer – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The effective implementation of evidence-based teaching (EBT) in large college courses benefits from the successful use of instructional teams. An instructional team's feedback allows instructors to act based on evidence of student learning, addressing students' needs. This feedback may be particularly important for novice instructors or…

Marvin Mergen; Lisa Will; Norbert Graf; Marcel Meyerheim – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Despite growing interest in the inclusion of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, its full potential for immersive and interactive training remains underutilized, particularly in dermatology. As part of a multidisciplinary project, we tested the feasibility of integrating a VR training scenario for a complete skin cancer screening into the…

Xinliang Zhu; Ting Tang – Cogent Education, 2024
In recent years, single-subject experimental courses have not been able to meet the demands of the comprehensive development of life sciences. This study is based on two fundamental disciplines, molecular biology and metabolomics, with the analysis and intervention of tumor-related genes as the starting point. A comprehensive experimental course…

Melloy, Patricia G.; Chiswell, Brian; Peterson, Celeste – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Cancer databases collect original cancer studies and patient clinical information into one site that allows for global analysis. While many courses focus on cancer, few utilize these powerful cancer databases. Our goal was to create a lab experience in which students could explore original cancer study databases, looking at the expression and…

Kelsie J. Anson – ProQuest LLC, 2021
While zinc (Zn[superscript 2+]) is a vital ion for cell function and human health, we are still learning about how Zn[superscript 2+] concentration and localization is regulated and the role that Zn[superscript 2+] fluctuations may play in regulating cell signaling and cell fate. Here, we use fluorescent tools to study the interaction between…

Xinyu Gui; Anjie Zhu; Guohong Song; Huiping Li – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Case-based learning (CBL) is a learner-centric educational approach that fosters independent learning and exploration through case analysis, guided by teachers' heuristic instruction. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CBL versus traditional teaching methods in advanced breast cancer education for residents. In this randomized controlled…

Rodriguez, Princess D.; Mariani, Michael; Gay, Jamie; Hogan, Tyler C.; Amiel, Eyal; Deming, Paula B.; Frietze, Seth – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has become an important tool in the biological sciences and has a growing number of applications across medical fields. Currently, few undergraduate programs provide training in the design and implementation of NGS applications. Here, we describe an inquiry-based laboratory exercise for a college-level molecular…

Large, Delaney N.; Van Doorn, Nathaniel A.; Timmons, Shannon C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Laboratory courses should cultivate enthusiasm for research and an appreciation for real-world scientific challenges to retain undergraduate students and encourage them to pursue STEM-related careers. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) have emerged as an inclusive pedagogical model that facilitates laboratory skill development,…

Qureshi, Saad – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Biomimicry is a useful method to develop students' skills, such as design and systems thinking, particularly when complemented with inquiry-based learning. The research seeks to uncover how students engage in the biomimicry process and what types of designs they produce to reveal insights that could assist educators in teaching biomimicry. A study…

Roy, Urmi – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2016
This work presents a three-dimensional (3D) modeling exercise for undergraduate students in chemistry and health sciences disciplines, focusing on a protein-group linked to immune system regulation. Specifically, the exercise involves molecular modeling and structural analysis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) proteins, both wild type and mutant. The…

The opportunity to engage in scientific research is an important, but often neglected, component of undergraduate training in biology. We describe the curriculum for an innovative, course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) appropriate for a large, introductory cell and molecular biology laboratory class that leverages students' high…

Nahra, Fady; Riant, Olivier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A modified total synthesis of (S)-goniothalamin is described for an advanced course in organic chemistry. This experiment gives students an opportunity to handle organometallic reagents and perform an enzymatic kinetic resolution and a metathesis reaction, all in the same synthesis. Furthermore, students learn flame-drying techniques for the…

Thompson, Amy; Jordan, Timothy R.; Brookins-Fisher, Jodi; Karmaker, Monita; Evans, Natasha – Health Educator, 2018
The increase of chronic disease in the United States has created a strong demand for health education specialists (HESs) who are trained to facilitate behavioral, environmental and policy changes through program implementation and evaluation. However, it is difficult for colleges and universities to prepare future health educators to be competent…

Ortega, Ryan A.; Brame, Cynthia J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2015
Concept mapping was developed as a method of displaying and organizing hierarchical knowledge structures. Using the new, multidimensional presentation software Prezi, we have developed a new teaching technique designed to engage higher-level skills in the cognitive domain. This tool, synthesis mapping, is a natural evolution of concept mapping,…
