    We are pleased to announce that GEP’s Program Director—Dr. Laura Reed—was awarded the Outstanding Professor Award at @UofAlabama. news.ua.edu/2021/11/evolut…
    Gaining research experience is limited at many institutions due to budget and resource constraints. What is magical about GEP is that it’s entirely web-based and students only need access to the internet, whereas normally they may need access to laboratories and biological specimens. This is a great equalizer, and helps students become better scientists and better citizens because they can apply those critical thinking skills to any scenario.

    Interested in implementing a genomics research experience & active learning in your undergraduate classes!? The GEP’s curriculum materials and research projects are computer-based & work well in an online setting. Hope to have many #TAGC20 attendees join us!

    Two students independently construct a gene model for a GEP research project. These gene models are reconciled by an experienced student w/ Apollo. We’re happy to report the reconciliation process officially kicked off today! Meet the Pathways Project reconciliation team😀

    Undergrad biology students usually excel in knowing bio facts but struggle w/ connecting them to specific principles. They also often struggle to read primary scientific literature, possibly for the same reason. @qubeshub resource: qubeshub.org/publications/2…
    Exploring Primary Scientific Literature through the Lens of the 5 Core Concepts of Biology Abstract: Biology students at the undergraduate level usually excel in knowing biological facts; however, they often struggle with connecting these facts to specific biological principles. In parallel, undergraduate students often struggle to read primary scientific literature (PSL), possibly for the same reason: they struggle to integrate the biological facts they know into the larger, and often complicated, biological principles presented in PSL. Our lesson bridges the gap between student understanding of content knowledge and their ability to connect this knowledge to larger biological principles through the integration of PSL and the 5 Core Concepts of Biology (5CCs) identified in the Vision and Change report. We begin by introducing students to PSL using a modified C.R.E.A.T.E. method and continue by walking students through Vision and Change as a way to introduce the 5CCs...
