Christopher Stratton; Avery Christensen; Chelsey Jordan; Brian A. Salvatore; Elahe Mahdavian – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We present a new highly interdisciplinary project-based course in computer aided drug discovery (CADD). This course was developed in response to a call for alternative pedagogical approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the cancellation of a face-to-face summer research program sponsored by the Louisiana Biomedical Research Network…

Calzada, Maria E.; Gardner, Holly – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2011
The results of a simulation conducted by a research team involving undergraduate and high school students indicate that when data is symmetric the student's "t" confidence interval for a mean is superior to the studied non-parametric bootstrap confidence intervals. When data is skewed and for sample sizes n greater than or equal to 10,…
