DIY microscope workshops bring discovery back to the classroom
Young people are natural scientists who are curious about the world, and a microscope is a great way to help them explore. But getting quality scientific tools in their hands presents financial and logistical challenges for educators. Certainly, we can all remember a cabinet of dusty, broken, or unused microscopes in one of our childhood…
Modern cell biology is computational
The theme of this year’s ASCB|EMBO Meeting is Cell Biology for the 21st Century. So what skills are essential for a cell biologist to master in the 21st century? Depending on the project, you might answer “microscopy,” “gene editing,” or “primary cell culture.” But why don’t we think of “data analysis,” “statistics,” or “coding”? These…
