Teaching Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Lab with Kinetic Analysis of COVID-19 in the United States
Direct linkDylan 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…

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…

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…

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…

Kristen L. W. Walton – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Views of obesity as a consequence of "lack of willpower" or other behavioral choices, rather than a complex array of biological and other factors, are quite common among undergraduate students. Many undergraduates in prenursing or biology programs have little exposure to the physiology and pathophysiology of obesity, including learning…

Maurizio Costabile; Jasmina Turkanovic – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The method for producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) was first published in 1975. MAbs have revolutionised research, diagnosis, and disease treatment approaches. While students need a good understanding of MAb production, teaching the key steps via traditional methods can be challenging. Numerous resources exist, but these focus on hybridoma…

Khan, Latifa B.; Tsai, Jia-Yun C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a versatile and widely used technique to detect and quantify small molecules in various clinical and analytical applications. It is also an effective tool for demonstrating the specificity between antibody and antigen to students across diverse disciplines. However, undergraduate laboratories often face…

King, David; Snyman, Magrieta; McGinitie, Elizabeth G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on university course design, implementation, and instruction, with many courses being offered remotely rather than face-to-face to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, more and more courses are transitioning back to face-to-face instruction. In this article, we…

Australian and New Zealand universities commenced a new academic year in February/March 2020 largely with "business as usual." The subsequent Covid-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice. Rapid change occurred due to government-imposed physical distancing regulations from March 2020 that…
