Rheanna E. Walther; Michael Hrabak; Douglas A. Bernstein – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Molecular biology, broadly defined as the investigation of complex biomolecules in the laboratory, is a rapidly advancing field and as such the technologies available to investigators are constantly evolving. This constant advancement has obvious advantages because it allows students and researchers to perform more complex experiments in shorter…

Röbbe Wünschiers; Robert Maximilian Leidenfrost; Hauke Holtorf; Bernd Dittrich; Thomas Dürr; Jürgen Braun – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Both nanopore-based DNA sequencing and CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing represent groundbreaking innovations in molecular biology and genomics, offering unprecedented insights into and tools for working with genetic information. For students, reading, editing, and even writing DNA will be part of their everyday life. We have developed a laboratory…

Ashley L. Waring-Sparks; Rachel A. Waring-Sparks; Rebekka Darner; Nathan T. Mortimer – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
While undergraduate research has been shown to be a high-impact educational practice, it is logistically impossible for all undergraduate biology majors to have long-term faculty-mentored research experience. Therefore, biology educators and researchers must devise opportunities to engage more students in undergraduate research outside of working…

Didem Vardar-Ulu; Saif Eldeen Ragab; Swati Agrawal; Shuchismita Dutta – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Molecular case studies (MCSs) are open educational resources that use a storytelling approach to engage students in biomolecular structure-function explorations, at the interface of biology and chemistry. Although MCSs are developed for a particular target audience with specific learning goals, they are suitable for implementation in multiple…

R.; Reed, Laura K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP) engages students in a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). To better understand the student attributes that support success in this CURE, we asked students about their attitudes using previously published scales that measure epistemic beliefs about work and science, interest in science,…

Newman, Dina L.; Spector, Hannah; Neuenschwander, Anna; Miller, Anna J.; Trumpore, Lauren; Wright, L. Kate – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Visual literacy, which is the ability to effectively identify, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media, is an important aspect of science literacy. As molecular processes are not directly observable, researchers and educators rely on visual representations (e.g., drawings) to communicate ideas in biology. How learners…

Flowers, Sharleen; Holder, Kal H.; Gardnera, Stephanie M. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Understanding molecular processes and coordinating the various activities across levels of organization in biological systems is a complicated task, yet many curricular guidelines indicate that undergraduate students should master it. Employing mechanistic reasoning can facilitate describing and investigating biological phenomena. Biofilms are an…

Grace I. Borlee; Traci Kinkel; Bettina Broeckling; Bradley R. Borlee; Christie Mayo; Carolina Mehaffy – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in authentic research and generally increase the participation rate of students in research. Students' participation in research has a positive impact on their science identity and self-efficacy, both of which can predict integration…
