Excited to share my first ever first-author paper just published in @CourseSource which describes a lesson exploring past and ongoing extinction events designed for non-majors or introductory biology students. Check it out!
New lesson! Is Earth Currently Undergoing a Sixth Mass Extinction? uses active learning approaches and provides an overview of major events in Earth’s history, an introduction to extinction and mass extinction, and past and present conservation efforts. doi.org/10.24918/cs.2022.19

Just retweeting some of these AMAZING testimonials about the BIOME Institute as we approach the 5/10 deadline! #BIOME22 @qubeshub qubeshub.org/community/group…
"[The BIOME Institute] really was a catalyst for enabling us to implement what we’d been thinking about [...] We had an instant network that I think made our [RCN] proposal more competitive and has made the project itself more successful." #BIOME22
