2016 National Academies Special Topics Summer Institute on Quantitative Biology
“Lowering the Activation Energy: Making Quantitative Biology More Accessible"
June 19-24, 2016
North Carolina State University, Raleigh
Biology requires a rapidly expanding set of quantitative skills including data analysis, statistics, modeling, computational reasoning, and visualization. If you are interested in developing your biology students' quantitative skills, this is the summer workshop for you!
Modeled on the National Academies Summer Institutes, the Quantitative Biology Summer Institute (QB SI) is presented by BioQUEST, Science Case Net and QUBES. This will be a working meeting during which participants will learn about and use evidence-based teaching strategies such as backward design, active learning, and assessment, as well as methods such as cases and modeling. Hands on sessions at the institute will focus on resources and methods to address the special challenges associated with teaching quantitative biology. The workshop is developed by BioQUEST, which celebrates 30 years of leadership in biology education reform in 2016, and Science Case Network, which brings expertise on using case based pedagogies. The QUBES project will support ongoing collaborations among participants.
iDigBio is collaborating with AIM-UP! on a session during this workshop. View the workshop schedule or session descriptions.
