Our dpt is updating our DEIJ statement & doing associated work. These Qs came up: What are the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent faculty (esp autistic) that we should be mindful of? Are there resources that would be helpful for these faculty?

We could get @nanopore in every high school, community college, and undergraduate institution in the country. Not just teaching students but also generating scientifically valuable data for health, agriculture, and environment. It’s possible with the right support! @ARPA_H @NIH @WHOSTP @NSF – at New York, USA
What if a high schooler had the potential to sequence a genome at their fingertips? 🤔 CSHL’s @DNALC is collaborating with @nanopore to develop educational infrastructure and resources with the potential to make in-class DNA sequencing routine! 🧬cshl.edu/genome-sequencing-g…

I am on the look out for Biologists working using AI for teaching and learning, preparing students for a future that includes working with AI and for authentic assessment. Are you in this space or know someone who is? Let me know! @ASCBiology @ASBMB @ITSASBMB @nzsbmb @tihighered
Excited to share I am setting up an Education Special Interest Group for the NZ Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology @nzsbmb, first meet up at our 50th Anniversary Conference at Hanmer Springs in November. Message me if interested to know more!
