Christian is off to the midwest and mountain west to participate in two national biology education workshops.
First, he will be attending the national CourseSource workshop at the University of Minnesota. Coursesource is a new journal of peer-reviewed biology education materials that have been developed using evidence-based pedagogy. Christian is dusting off one of the activities that he developed for introductory biology to try to turn it into a CourseSource article. For more information about CourseSource, please click here.
Second, Christian will be attending the Mountain West regional meeting of the National Academies Summer Institute on Scientific Teaching, which is held at the University of Colorado Boulder. More information about the Summer Institutes can be found here.
