Project-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to teach complex biology concepts. However, not all institutions have the resources facilitate project-based coursework for students. We developed a framework facilitating PBL using remote-controlled internet-connected microscopes. Through this approach, one lab facility can host experiment many students around world simultaneously. Experiments on platform be run timescales and with materials that are typically...
Abstract The circadian clock is a highly coordinated, cell-autonomous process that regulates the daily internal rhythms of biological organisms. Circadian clocks have been identified in various organisms, including mammals, invertebrates, cyanobacteria, and plants. zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) practical model for studying vertebrate due to its small size, ease manipulation, gene tractability, direct light responsiveness. Several studies revealed bacterial, viral, parasitic infections can impact...

Abstract The circadian clock is a cell-autonomous process that regulates daily internal rhythms by interacting with environmental signals. Reports across species show infection can alter the expression of genes; however, in teleosts, these effects are influenced light exposure. Currently, no reports analyze direct bacterial exposure on zebrafish clock. Using Z3 cells, we demonstrate to heat-killed Streptococcus pneumoniae (HK-Spn) augments core repressive factors light- and time-dependent...
