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

This website will help you learn more about science as a process of learning about the natural world and access the parts of science that affect your life.

A collection of resources to use in the classroom. Includes materials for students and for educators as well as additional resources.

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.

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).

A fantastic collection of case study exercises.

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.

Information about upcoming QUBES FMNs can be found on the front page (www.qubeshub.org) or at the website linked above. Sign up for the QUBES newsletter (www.qubeshub.org/register) to stay up to date on all QUBES offerings!

The Biology Students Math Attitudes and Anxiety Program (BIOMAAP) is a resource for educators who are looking to implement non-invasive techniques to change student attitudes and reduce anxiety towards math.

This is one of my favorite resources to interact with large, complex data. There are teaching resources, TED talks, seminar-style videos, and interactive tools.

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 report from AAAS on transforming undergraduate education in biology. There have been a few reports compiled and more information can be found here: http://visionandchange.org/

A partnership between SIAM and COMAP (Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications), Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Mathematical Modeling Education (GAIMME) enables the modeling process to be understood as part of STEM studies and research, and taught as a basic tool for problem solving and logical thinking. GAIMME helps define core competencies to include in student experiences, and provides direction to enhance math modeling education at all levels. A mix of professionals wrote and reviewed to present various levels and perspectives. The GAIMME report is a freely downloadable report from both SIAM and COMAP’s websites.
