Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Minakova, Valeriya; Canagarajah, Suresh – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2023
This paper explores language beliefs and writing practices of an international scholar in Biochemistry working at a large U.S. research university. Although the participant articulated monolingual ideologies and a desire to become like a 'native speaker,' he did not consider advanced writing skills in English a prerequisite for publishing in…

Amor-Gutierrez, O.; Rama, E. C.; Fernandez-Abedul, M. T.; Costa-García, A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
This lab experiment describes a complete method to fabricate an enzymatic glucose electroanalytical biosensor by students. Using miniaturized and disposable screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), students learn how to use them as transducers and understand the importance SPEs have acquired in sensor development during the last years. Students can also…

Miao, Yilan; Thomas, Courtney L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Analyzing and understanding data directly from primary literature can be a daunting task for undergraduates. However, if information is put into context, students will be more successful when developing data analysis skills. A classroom activity is presented using protein denaturation to help undergraduate biochemistry students examine myoglobin…

Vega Garzón, Juan Carlos; Magrini, Marcio Luiz; Galembeck, Eduardo – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
Understanding metabolism and metabolic pathways constitutes one of the central aims for students of biological sciences. Learning metabolic pathways should be focused on the understanding of general concepts and core principles. New technologies such Augmented Reality (AR) have shown potential to improve assimilation of biochemistry abstract…

Inglis, Colin – School Science Review, 2017
There is much more to science education than the requirements demanded by the examination curriculum. This article illustrates one example of an in-depth investigation, kick started with a Royal Society Partnership Grant, into essential oils as antimicrobial agents. The project and subsequent extensions were selected to be presented at various…

Laura L. Bellows; Savannah Hobbs; Susan L. Johnson – Journal of Human Sciences & Extension, 2021
Food neophobia, defined as an unwillingness to consume novel and unfamiliar foods, is common in young children. Assessment of neophobia can be a challenge with this audience. With the increase in nutrition interventions focused on the young child, valid and reliable measures to assess willingness to try new foods that can be administered in groups…

Chaari, Ali; Al-Ali, Dana; Roach, James – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Enzyme purification, characterization, and identification are some of the best ways to introduce undergraduate students to many aspects of biochemistry, particularly as part of project-based learning (PBL). These kinds of multi-step laboratory experiments not only help students to better understand basic biochemistry concepts but also serve to…

Dingwall, Stephanie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest turned education on its head this quarter. To keep students engaged, a plethora of techniques were employed, ranging from synchronous lectures and activities via the Zoom platform to the asynchronous online discussion board Piazza. Consideration of students' nonacademic struggles also…

Taylor, Ann T. S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
One of the goals for requiring all college students to take science courses is to develop critical thinking about scientific issues they will encounter as citizens, consumers, and patients. This article integrates skill development activities targeting civic scientific literacy skills in a nonscience majors (liberal arts) biochemistry course, but…

Carvalho Pereira, Andreia; Violante, Inês R.; Mouga, Susana; Oliveira, Guiomar; Castelo-Branco, Miguel – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The nature of neurochemical changes in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains controversial. We compared medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurochemistry of twenty high-functioning children and adolescents with ASD without associated comorbidities and fourteen controls. We observed reduced total N-acetylaspartate (tNAA) and total creatine, increased…

Deutch, Charles E. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Laboratory reports written in the style of a standard scientific article are commonly used to assess student learning in biochemistry laboratory courses. While most students can complete the Materials and Methods or Results sections successfully, many have difficulty with the Introduction and Discussion. They fail to place their data in a larger…

Halmo, Stephanie M.; Sensibaugh, Cheryl A.; Bhatia, Kush S.; Howell, Alexandra; Ferryanto, Ersta P.; Choe, Bryant; Kehoe, Kaitlin; Watson, Morgan; Lemons, Paula P. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Protein structure-function is a key concept in biochemistry. We used the perspective of domain-specific problem-solving to investigate students' solutions to a well-defined protein structure-function problem. We conducted think-aloud interviews with 13 undergraduate students and performed qualitative content analysis to examine the differences in…

Williams, Charlene; Perlis, Susan; Gaughan, John; Phadtare, Sangita – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Learner-centered pedagogical methods that are based on clinical application of basic science concepts through active learning and problem solving are shown to be effective for improving knowledge retention. As the clinical relevance of biochemistry is not always apparent to health-profession students, effective teaching of medical biochemistry…
