READ ME FIRST:  This collection provides additional resources to support classes teaching from The Analysis of Biological Data by Michael Whitlock and Dolph Schluter, broken down by chapter.  Each chapter post has at least three buttons:  Datasets, which links to the datasets for that chapter; R Code, which links to the R code for that chapter; and R Pubs, which links to a different version of the R code page that contains additional code output and results.

I showed up to my first BioQUEST workshop in 1999. I thought I was there to borrow all the good curriculum ideas I could. I never dreamed I would meet Maura Flannery and share a teaching philosophy. Maura wrote about her experience and this made me a BQ Lifer.

We work hard and snacks fuel our thinking. Oreos are a staple. You will also find Diet Coke, because this fuels BQ founder John Jungck.

What do you request for this year's cafe?

Arietta Fleming Davies and Gaby Hamerlinck rocked it at Life Discovery with a QUBES Faculty Mentoring Network workshop, and sessions on DryadLab and DataNuggets&MathBench.  

Following good tax keeping protocol, financial records older than 7 years were shredded, as were about 10 boxes of unreadable disc storage devices, including large floppys.  Dare we admit remembering using those?  

I went through ALL these boxes.  I commend the record keepers of BioQUEST who faithfully kept every draft, printed out every email, and made multiple copies of anything official.  It was a good day when we began to trust our online email archives.  I could map every trip any BioQUEST staff made over the years based on the meticulous reimbursement receipts.  Among my favorite finds: the "Road Map/Anti-panic File," a copy of American Biology Teacher from ...? and priceless, a supportive letter from none other than our own Paul Ryan.  How things change.  Any guesses where that article on Buckminster Fuller was printed?  It wasn't Science. Who says archive diving is boring? 

In August 2015 we welcomed Gaby Hamerlinck to the BioQUEST family.  Gaby brings a deep love of quantitative biology and teaching to the QUBES project and we are lucky to have her.  Note: she is taller in person.
