ACUBE

Last weekend, the majority of the Biology Department, myself included, attended the Association of College and University Biology Educators (ACUBE) annual conference in Indianapolis.  I served on a panel about program assessment with Drs. Laura Salem and Chris Wills, and presented a talk about our Biology Field Trip Abroad to Peru (see earlier posts).  We were exhausted when we returned, but now we get to relax a bit since we are currently on Fall Break!  Pictured below are Dr. Janet Cooper presenting a talk about course assessment and an activity we did using pipe cleaners to reconstruct phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees.
