Here are two presentations that Dr. Briana Pobiner gave during our Evo101 workshop at Evolution 2017

This is a set of fasta files and an activity for the plant phylogeny activity we did during the workshop with Dr. Phil Gibson

Develop the theory of constructing and analyzing discrete difference equation models using biologically relevant examples.

Reference reading (with a variety of biological examples) used for a Discrete Math Modeling course. If session participants are interested in a particular application, please let me know (email me at bodinee at rhodes dot edu) and I will make sure to address that application during the session.

If you are interested in applying for the Discrete Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN)  which will further build on these ideas, please follow the provided link.

A complete understanding of evolution requires knowledge that spans many biological sub-disciplines. However, students are often taught evolution in the context of ecological systems and isolated from genetic and cellular ones. To address this issue, we have developed case studies that track the evolution of traits from their origination in DNA mutation, to the production of different proteins, to the fixation of alternate macroscopic phenotypes in reproductively isolated populations.

This post contains some of the links that were mentioned in Dr. Paul Beardsley's presentation on HHMI BioInteractive resources. This is not a comprehensive list, we encourage you to explore the BioInteractive website (http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive) to see what else you can find!

A fantastic collection of case study exercises.

This company has casts of fossils, including many of the skulls that were referenced in Phil Gibson's presentation.

Science in the Classroom (SitC) is a collection of freely available annotated research papers from the Science family of journals. SitC aims to help educators, undergraduates, and advanced high school students understand the research contained in scientific primary literature by using annotations and providing accompanying teaching materials.

Scitable is a place to... Inspire your undergraduate and high-school AP biology students with resources on genetics and cell biology from Nature Publishing Group, home of Nature, the most cited scientific journal in the world.

Using our platform, you can customize your own eBooks for your students. Create an online classroom. Contribute and share content and connect with networks of colleagues.

A module from NIH where students explore evolutionary principles and learn how evolution informs human health, biomedical problems, and disease treatment.

DryadLab is the education focused component of the Dryad Digital Repository. They have developed education modules that bring authentic research data into the classroom. The original modules can be found at https://qubeshub.org/groups/dryadlab/resources. QUBES and DryadLab have also partnered to offer two Faculty Mentoring Networks. The faculty participants have shared their adaptations and extensions to the modules on QUBES (https://qubeshub.org/groups/dryadlab/collections).

QUBES and HHMI BioInteractive have partnered to offer two Faculty Mentoring Networks. These faculty participants have shared their products (adaptations to classroom modules, teaching notes, assessments, etc.) on QUBES. More information about the QUBES/HHMI BioInteractive partnership can be found at https://qubeshub.org/groups/hhmibiointeractive.
