“Genetic variation is the norm, not the exception.” -Dr. Bret Payseur, on evolutionary changes of Gough Island mice and the pattern of “island rule”; genetic changes in neurological genes (and behavior, rather than metabolism) contribute to variations in size 🤯 #NABT2022

Loving Tracie Delgado’s keynote at - leveraging humane, high-impact mentoring of students with the exciting cancer work done by her undergrads-only lab 💚🧪 So much for all to learn here!

Notes from Dr. Delgado’s talk: how are we promoting self-efficacy? It’s an individual’s belief and self-confidence in their capacity to act in the ways necessary to reach specific goals. Self-efficacy has several components: performance expectations (past experiences); vicarious experiences (observed experiences or modeling by others); social persuasion (coaching and feedback); imaginable experience (visualizations of future success); and physical and emotional states

🤔 How can educators at the and levels meet the current challenges caused by quarantine era science learning?

😎 Join us at to talk as a toolkit for rigorous, -oriented courses!

How can we leverage science practices in the post quarantine biology classroom? Learning disruptions and pandemic modalities made our classrooms even more stratified. Come hear how these challenges manifest from ninth grade inclusion to college level biology, and get cool tools for your courses! Saturday at nine, White River G
