Robert P. MacDonald; Anna N. Pattison; Sarah E. Cornell; Ashley K. Elgersma; Sarah N. Greidanus; Sydney N. Visser; Melanie Hoffman; Peter G. Mahaffy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Sustainability has a molecular basis that suggests a central role for chemistry in addressing today's challenges to Earth and societal systems, and this role requires educators to see chemical reactions and processes as integral parts of dynamic and interconnected systems. Despite this prospect, few accessible resources are available for students…

Pillay, Ché S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Jupyter notebooks are widely used for data analysis across a large number of scientific disciplines. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, I developed a series of computational exercises using the Jupyter notebook to replace the laboratory exercises usually undertaken in my course. My students had no prior coding knowledge and therefore these…
