Fall Working Groups: September 6 - November 19, 2021
During the 2021 BIOME Institute, participants will explore how pedagogy can guide students to see the forest and the trees--we’ll focus on practices and resources that help learners incorporate detailed understandings into a meaningful framework, a scientific worldview, that will enable them to make predictions, solve problems, and use science to inform policy.
The Institute will have a parallel emphasis on inclusive teaching practices and how our scientific worldviews are enriched by the diversity of our communities.

Individual faculty and partnering projects contribute teaching resources for others to adopt, adapt, and implement in their own courses. QUBES supports Open Education Practices that make it free to use, modify, and repost materials with attribution, increasing the utility and value of the original materials.
BrowseStudents can run free modeling and statistical software through their browser, eliminating the need to purchase or install software locally. Instructors can customize activities and datasets to fit their courses, minimizing logistical barriers between students and the course concepts.

We believe in the power of collective impact. We create opportunities for professional societies, curriculum projects, and STEM Ed researchers to join with and support educators.
ExploreWe recognize that moving quantitative biology education forward requires a community that works together to achieve its goals. QUBES supports community members by providing an open and inclusive virtual space for sharing quantitative classroom activities and resources, discussing teaching and the adaptation of educational materials to specific institutional contexts, and working together to develop new ideas and insights. We also connect educators with opportunities through our broader network in STEM Education, broadening the impact of quantitative biology education curriculum and research projects, conferences, and other initiatives.
