CBS faculty, students and staff with an interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning are invited to attend our new weekly brownbag seminar and discussion series.
Once a month we will have a seminar presentation, and the other weeks will consist of more informal discussions. Some sessions will be used to explore recent literature in educational scholarship in biology and related disciplines, while others might be spent discussing innovative approaches a colleague has tried in a course, or is thinking of trying.
