From Curriculum to Workforce: How to Bring Regenerative Medicine to Your Students
No full textThis webinar, published by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, includes three short presentations that connect practical aspects of regenerative medicine curriculum to the training of the future biotechnology workforce, followed by a panel discussion. In the first presentation, Jim Dekloe, professor of biotechnology at Solano college, discusses the need to develop a regenerative medicine workforce to meet the growing demand in the global bioeconomy, specifically focusing on cell and gene therapy. During the second presentation, Margaret Bryans, professor of biotechnology at Montgomery County Community College, provides examples of incorporating gene therapy skills into existing courses and programs. In the final presentation, Cheryl Burrell, professor of biotechnology at Forsyth Tech Community College, walks through the steps of a lab that aims to introduce regenerative medicine into the classroom through teaching immunofluorescence, a technique that ensures generated cells are behaving correctly.This video runs 58:45 minutes in length.&nbsp

Upcycling: Could My Plastic Bag Someday Become the Sustainable Alternative?
No full textThe Bioenergy Research and Education Bridge Program (BRIDGES) creates case study curriculum. BRIDGES is "focused on topical, authentic case study scenarios in the bioenergy field." The cases studies explore "... solutions for a more secure energy future using bioenergy technologies while addressing cultural responsiveness and issues surrounding diversity."This case study, from the U.S. Department of Energy, is aimed at introducing students to the ways in which chemists upcycle plastics for a circular economy. During the activity, "students will assume the role of a reaction chemist to learn how scientists and industry professionals reimagine the life cycle of plastics in the U.S. economy." Students will learn about circular economies; the economic, logistical, and scientific challenges of recycling plastic; primary source research; and more. Polymer basics, molecular weight distribution, polydispersity index, catalysts, and other areas are covered. A .zip file includes all case study materials, such as a fact sheet, instructor guide, and supplemental materials. Users may download the materials for one or all four case studies
