Dr. Caleb Trujillo will present his latest research.

Molecular Storytelling as a Framework for Teaching Biomolecules with Case Studies
Teaching with narratives and case studies delivers several benefits and is often used in biology education to discuss genetics. However, only some cases use resources to fully engage in the molecular basis of life using the available wealth of data and molecular visualizations like COVID-19 spike proteins. As part of a 5-year NSF-funded collaboration network, the Molecular CaseNet is a community of biology and chemistry educators who develop case studies using molecular structures and bioinformatics data to tell stories about biomolecules. The research will present the educational impact of molecular storytelling.
