MBBM - Creating Case Based Curriculum at the Intersection of Biology and Mathematics

(Emory University, July 20-24, 2009)

 


 

 


 

MEETING OVERVIEW

 

Download a pdf version of the meeting overview / agenda (here)

 

This is the first of two planned workshops. U. of Delaware will host the next (Summer 2010)

summer

 

History:

Builds on two prior HHMI-sponsored meetings (ETSU 2007 and HHMI

2008)

 

Goals:

 

 #1: Bring together teams of biologists and mathematicians to develop case

based and PBL-like exercises for education in biology, mathematics,

computer sciences and quantitative biology.

 

#2:  Adopt and adapt and create materials to help students see the

connections between mathematics and biology.

 

#3: Discuss ways to attract students to the area of mathematical or

quantitative biology.

 

Format:

3 1/2 day workshop.

 

Participants:

Approximately 24 attendees, organized into groups of four. Each team

will contain two biologists, two mathematicians, and representatives from at least

two different institutions.

 

Sponsors:

Emory, University of Delaware, HHMI, BioQUEST Curriculum

Consortium.

 

Two Project Model - Adopt & Adapt, New Project

Participants will both see materials that exist and create new materials for their

needs.

 

Special Features:

Meeting will include talks by researchers working at the

intersection of mathematics and biology.
