Molecular Case Studies:

At the Interface of Biology and Chemistry

Applications Due: Dec. 6, 2019
To learn more and apply now!

Are you teaching about intermolecular forces and/or biomolecular structure and function? Want your student to independently visualize, navigate, and analyze protein structures? Apply now to join us for the Spring 2020, Molecular CaseNet/QUBES Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). Access ready-to-use case studies from Molecular CaseNet, developed at the interface of biology and chemistry, for introductory and advanced courses in biology, chemistry, and related disciplines.

As a participant in this FMN you will be introduced to several different Molecular Case Studies. The cases will be discussed and any of your questions/concerns about the cases can be addressed at this stage. If you are new to molecular structures and visualization, or would like to refresh your memory on how to use some of the relevant data resources, this is an excellent opportunity for you. In the second part of the FMN you have a choice of either pilot testing one of the cases in your classroom or collaborating to develop a new molecular case study. Throughout the semester you will be expected to participate in weekly virtual sessions to receive mentoring, collaborate with and support others in the network.

Applications are due [December 6, 2019]. Please visit https://qubeshub.org/groups/molcasenetfor additional information and instructions on how to apply.

Dr. Deborah Rook is an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist. She has a bachelor's degree in Biology and Evolutionary biology from Case Western Reserve University and a masters in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology from Ohio State University, having studied evolutionary and ecological dynamics of Cenozoic mammals. For her PhD, she moved into Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, focusing on dynamic interactions of the rock and fossil records. Biology education has always been a focus for her, having taught and studied pedagogical techniques throughout her graduate studies and beyond. She joined the QUBES team in September 2017 as the FMN Project Manager, where she is working with the Faculty Mentoring Networks to enhance student experiences with quantitative biology, and the Professional Development Manager as our opportunities expanded. Since September 2021, she moved to Deputy Director, where she continues to work in the professional development space but now also manages staff and assists the Executive Director with business aspects of the organization.
