ASBMB Catalyst Conversations are informal events at which educators share their still-in-development teaching practices and classroom activities. Presenters of short “chalk talks” get immediate feedback. Not ready to share? Then come for the keynote talk on cultivating inclusive learning environments, support colleagues presenting their work, and engage in exciting conversations.
Abstracts
Submit your abstract by Tuesday, Sept. 24, to present your work at this ASBMB Catalyst Conversation workshop. While the event theme is "Exploring AI tools and alternative assessments in BMB education," presenters are encouraged to share other applications of AI.
