Online with LSE: Using Fidelity of Implementation to Improve Research on the Effectiveness of High-Impact Instructional Practices
This session of Online with LSE hosts Erika Offerdahl, Associate Professor at Washington State University, for a discussion of how she used a fidelity of implementation (FOI) framework to identify the critical components of formative assessment. This work highlights the importance of clearly defining the salient features of high-impact instructional practices for designing research to empirically determine how and under what conditions student learning is most effectively supported.

Most engineered systems in biology are inspired by natural systems. Many achievements in synthetic biology that we have witnessed in the past decade, directly or indirectly, resulted from studies that were carried out in the context of basic/fundamental biology, the purposes of which were not engineering but understanding. A few examples are the natural regulatory response of the cell to its environment inspired the development of synthetic regulatory circuits, the understanding of cellular networks led the way to the optimisation…

Recent technological developments in genomics as well as rapid advancements in AI and machine learning provide exciting opportunities for integrating and exploiting the emerging vast amounts of imaging and sequencing data. This conference will bring together leading experts, early-career scientists and students at the intersection of genomebiology and machine learning to unravel the mechanogenomic codes that link genome architecture and function, thereby paving the way for novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.
Find out more »Exploring Biological Sequences
This workshop will introduce basic bioinformatics approaches that are used to find, analyse and understand nucleotide or protein sequences. It will explore how to conduct searches across biological databases using both metadata and sequence data approaches. The course will explain how sequence searching techniques work, and how to use them effectively to find relevant results. Practical exercises will develop skills in searching for, accessing and aligning sequences; through the use of sample datasets participants will learn how to discover more…

In the 50 years since RNA was identified as a central component in the flow of genetic information, it has become increasingly clear that RNA performs many additional diverse and interesting functions. Regulatory RNAs are known to play central roles across numerous biological processes required for cell viability and function. Moreover, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed to generate many additional RNAs with unknown functions, raising the question: What else does RNA do? This symposium will explore the diverse,…

This session of Online with LSE hosts Emily Scott, a Research Scientist in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington, to explore how students reason about complex processes encountered in everyday life (e.g., Why does a blister form when a person touches a hot pan?). She will discuss her work developing a framework to characterize how students explain complex processes and its implications for instructors.
