Transforming undergraduate education in the molecular life sciences
July 27–30, 2023
Suffolk University, Boston
Join us for a small interactive education-focused ASBMB meeting to learn about engaging approaches to supporting students and faculty in biochemistry and molecular biology. Reconnect with peers, meet new colleagues and increase your network of education-minded professionals while exploring Boston.
Conference topics include:
- Leadership development
- Supporting mid-career and shifting careers
- Teaching in a diverse and equitable environment
Panel discussions will include Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) and preparing students for jobs in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Attendees will be able to participate in workshops with several education focused NSF-funded groups (CUREs, assessment, case-based learning, biomolecular visualization) to learn about their innovative projects and join their communities. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with program directors from the NIH and NSF.
Anyone interested in education — postdocs, instructors and faculty — is welcome to attend.
