Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 has ushered in a renewed interest science along with rapid changes to educational modalities. While technology provides variety of ways convey learning resources, the incorporation alternate modalities can be intimidating for those designing curricula.
As educators and researchers, we often enjoy enlivening classroom discussions by including examples of cutting-edge high-throughput (HT) technologies that propelled scientific discovery created repositories new information. We also call for the use evidence-based teaching practices to engage students in ways promote equity learning. The complex datasets produced HT approaches can open doors novel genes, drugs, regulatory networks, so need experience with effective design, implementation,...
AbstractStudents must be able to evaluate primary literature, yet few options exist within the undergraduate curriculum develop necessary skills. In this article, we offer an adapted journal club that provides students opportunities critically analyze selected research articles, emphasizing scientific communication, critical thinking, and practical application of coursework. We include instruments club, teaching tips, guided implementation recommendations, including tools pre-designate...
There is a growing need for integration of “Big Data” into undergraduate biology curricula. Transcriptomics one venue to examine from an informatics perspective. RNA sequencing has largely replaced the use microarrays whole genome gene expression studies. Recently, single cell (scRNAseq) unmasked population heterogeneity, offering unprecedented views inner workings individual cells. scRNAseq transforming our understanding development, cellular identity, function, and disease. As...
Technological advances in drug discovery are exciting to students, but it is challenging for faculty maintain the pace with these developments, particularly within undergraduate courses. In recent years, a High-throughput Discovery Science and Inquiry-based Case Studies Today's Students (HITS) Research Coordination Network has been assembled address mechanism of how can, on-pace, introduce advancements. As part HITS, our team developed "Behind Screen: Drug using Big Data Phenotypic Analysis"...
Abstract Introduction Military installations are at increased risk for the transmission of infectious disease. Personnel who live and train on military near one another facilitating disease transmission. An understanding historical sanitation hygiene can inform modern practices. This is especially pertinent considering continuing rise variants diseases, such as recent pandemic 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. In this article, we review decline United States Academy...
Influenza rates for the US Army and West Point cadets showed that seasonal influenza was not necessarily an annual event, there little influenzal illness in decade before 1918 except 1911 1916. Annual records from 1862-1918 also indicated a similar paucity of 1890.
Quantitative metrics are widely employed to determine the probability of an applicant succeeding in a specific program interest, ranging from undergraduate or graduate admissions fellowships. The office at United States Military Academy West Point uses internal college entrance examination rank (CEER) assessment algorithm high school students, based on ACT and SAT scores addition consideration performance, assess student academic abilities their surpassing graduation requirements. To develop...
In this role-playing case study, students will learn about the HeLa cell line and its origins while examining multiple perspectives surrounding uses. The goal of study is for to use guided questions analyze different points view such as researchers, family members, center directors, contemporary scientists. Students assume pre-designated roles prepare short presentations a panel their peers arrive at decision regarding further cells. This may be completed in one 75-minute lesson or over...
Prior to the start of every academic year, Department Chemistry and Life Science in United States Military Academy at West Point conducts a four-week Faculty Development Workshop (FDW). The purpose FDW is develop new faculty such that they are prepared effectively educate students, critical hallmark this program in-depth feedback mentorship from senior faculty. With nationwide uncertainty regarding method instruction for upcoming semester, ranging remote in-person, possibility schools may...
