MWV Episode 27 - ASMCUE

The American Society for Microbiology Conference for Undergraduate
Educators (ASMCUE) is an interactive four-day conference on scientific
updates and effective teaching strategies. Now in its 16th year, the
conference attracts over 300 microbiology and biology educators.




Educators come from colleges, universities and international
institutions to learn and share the latest information in the
biological sciences and education research.




The conference program includes plenary, concurrent, poster, and
exhibit sessions. Participants engage in formal and informal small
group discussions between colleagues all focused on the same goal: to
improve teaching and learning in the biological sciences.




In this episode, we talk with Erica Suchman, Associate Professor,
Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, and Local Organizing Chair for
the 2009 meeting. Erica talks about her attendance at the meeting for
the past 12 years and the benefits of participating. Also featured are
several participants at the ASMCUE 2008 held at Endicott College in
Beverly, MA and ASM's Education Director, Amy Chang, a co-founder of
the Conference.
