Black Box Journal Club
The NIMBioS Working Group Unpacking the Black Box is hosting a journal club around the topic of teaching modeling in undergraduate biology courses. Our goal is to survey the literature to get a better sense of what is known about how to use models to increase student understanding of biological concepts, the nature of science, and quantitative reasoning skills. Anyone with an interest in this topic is welcome to read along - each paper will be announced in a separate blog entry, with discussions occurring in the comments.
