#today I’ll start teaching 200 #undergrads introductory #ecology and #evolution. Haven’t taught this course in person since… 2017! Wow! This is also the last time I’ll be #teaching it. Due to program changes, the class is being replaced with a second year lab course. Which I’m also designing right now. I’ll be teaching that for the first time NEXT #fall But did that stop me from completing revamping this first year class? Of course not! I’m incurable. Buckle up folks, it’s going to be bumpy
@cam_dp sounds cool. I have plans for the labs for next fall though.
@cam_dp I passed the link along to Josh Neufeld and Laura Hug, two of our top microbiologists. Maybe they’ll be in touch.
@girls_can I appreciate you sharing - thanks!
@girls_can Hi Dr. Rooney! We design and manufacture a bioreactor in Watelroo that can be used for in-lab learning
about evolution: https://pioreactor.com/, ex: you can use it as a morbidostat or chemostat. We demoed evolving salt-tolerant yeast here: https://docs.pioreactor.com/experiments/directed-evolution-salt-tolerance. Let me know if you want to chat about using them in your classes!
