Teaching Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Lab with Kinetic Analysis of COVID-19 in the United States
Dylan K. Smith; Kristin Lauro; Dymond Kelly; Joel Fish; Emma Lintelman; David McEwen; Corrin Smith; Max Stecz; Tharushi D. Ambagaspitiya; Jixin Chen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A physical chemistry lab for undergraduate students described in this report is about applying kinetic models to analyze the spread of COVID-19 in the United States and obtain the reproduction numbers. The susceptible-infectious-recovery (SIR) model and the SIR-vaccinated (SIRV) model are explained to the students and are used to analyze the…

Sean Till; David A. Kaminsky – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Here we demonstrate how data from the clinical pulmonary function lab can help students learn about the principle of airway-parenchymal interdependence. We examined the relationship between airway conductance (Gaw) and lung volume (thoracic gas volume, TGV) in 48 patients: 17 healthy; 20 with emphysema, expected to have reduced airway-parenchymal…

An undergraduate laboratory was developed as part of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases "initiative's" Open Synthesis Network. This activity aimed to develop new compounds efficacious against visceral leishmaniasis. Students successfully synthesized, purified, and characterized ten different benzoxazole amides that were sent for biological…

Undergraduate-Level Biology Students' Application of Central Dogma to Understand COVID mRNA Vaccines
Saya Shahoy; Michelle Du; Ola Mostafa; Aliyah Parker; Dylan Martirano; Melinda T. Owens – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has underscored the importance of mRNA vaccines. The mechanism for how such vaccines work is related to the core biology topic of the central dogma, which students often misunderstand despite its importance. Therefore, we wanted to know whether students can apply their biology knowledge of central…

Vemu, Sheela; McDonald, Jeanne Gillespie; León-Valderrama, Nidia Vanessa – Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning, 2020
A process for adapting a case study as a high impact practice for undergraduate microbiology classes is described and its use in assessing global awareness as an institutional outcome at the course level. Documenting the student learning of content objectives and retention is addressed. Four student artifacts are assessed with an adaption of…

Herrick, Imogen R.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Lombardi, Doug – Science Teacher, 2023
There has never been a more pressing need for students to learn how to evaluate scientific information online than during the COVID-19 outbreak. Information, misinformation, and disinformation spread quickly across online news and social media platforms. This misleading or incorrect scientific information about infectious diseases could lead to…

McGowan, Veronica Cassone; Bell, Philip – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2022
Objective: Systems thinking can be counterintuitive to everyday ways of knowing. This can surface doubt around predicted patterns of emergence in complex systems data, especially as it relates to the current climate crisis and related justice-oriented solutions. Method: Our study describes a four-year design-based research project in which we…

Wehmanen, Kyle W.; Cottet-Puinel, Felix E.; Hampton, Tyler C.; Hamlin, Gwyn T.; Wedig, Isaac J.; Elmer, Steven J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
We developed a hands-on activity using the game Jenga to demonstrate the links between health behaviors, chronic and infectious diseases, and community well-being and resilience. For the activity, K-12 students worked together in small teams (4-8 students) and were given two Jenga towers ("tower A" and "tower B"), each…

Yan, Jingmin; Chen, Jiangao; Mao, Xuhu; Li, Qian – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
As a universal and extensively adopted technique, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be used to detect and quantify small molecules in many applications both clinical and analytical. However, generally, students experiment mechanically using commercial ELISA kits according to the instructions and eventually produce a standard curve to…

Inés Martinez Pena; Blanca Puig; Araitz Uskola – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Systems thinking (ST) is an essential skill for understanding complex issues, making predictions and informed decisions. This research explores how students applied ST in complex health contexts using the 'One Health' (OH) approach. OH highlights the interdependence relationship between animal, human and ecosystemic health (including plants).…

Bearchell, Sarah – Primary Science, 2020
Since the schools in the United Kingdom (UK) closed to most pupils in March 2020 to try to stop the spread of COVID-19, the internet has delivered a flood of materials for 'home-schooling'. Finding the most appropriate resources has been overwhelming for teachers and parents alike. The majority of pupils in the UK (71.3-85.1%, depending on region)…

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique capable of characterizing large protein complexes that are otherwise impossible to characterize using traditional crystallography methods. Cryo-EM has played a pivotal role in our understanding of the structure--function relationship of the spike proteins on the COVID-19 viral…
