However our syllabi can unintentionally signal "you don't belong" to some of our students. In this presentation, we will discuss ways we can change our course syllabi to better serve as a welcome mat for students, particularly first-generation and historically minoritized students. Relying on the work done in the Student Experience Project, participants will learn about evidence-based changes they can make to their syllabi, with particular focus on "low-lift" changes that can be made in …

Simple Techniques To Encourage Long-Term Retrieval, Stacy Bevan, Maryann Schneider

Empowering Teaching Excellence Conference

Amid massive changes in teaching, one thing that remains constant is that we want students to really learn, not simply memorize to pass a test and then forget everything. We want our students to be successful in their studying rather than wasting time rereading highlighted text with glazed over eyes. Despite these ambitions, teachers often use ineffective techniques and students lack the metacognitive strategies needed to enable learning. The presenters of this session will highlight evidence-based techniques found in the book "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" by Peter C. Brown. They will also share personal experiences from …

Increasing Student Success By Integrating Career Education Into The Classroom, Dannon Loveland, Cindy Higgins

Empowering Teaching Excellence Conference

During the last several years of upheaval and change, equity become an increasingly important topic of focus and research in higher education. Studies have found that the number one reason students list for pursuing higher education is to get a better job. Students who don’t access career services are often those who would benefit the most. This has caused a rethinking in the way that career education is delivered to students from a service model which only reaches a small percentage of students to integration into the student experience. Faculty are in a unique position to promote career development in …

Inclusive Pedagogy: Benefitting All Learners, Madison Heider, Lindsay Thunell

Empowering Teaching Excellence Conference

The prevalence of students with disabilities and learning differences attending college is steadily increasing. This calls for reform among educators to adjust their teaching practices to serve this diversity of learners more effectively. Traditional methods for addressing disability and learning differences within the college classroom put the responsibility on individual students to request accommodations and adapt their learning to the outlined course requirements. Inclusive pedagogy creates learning that is “meaningful, relevant, and accessible to all.” This represents an institution-wide shift in mindset and responsibility toward creating content, instructional delivery, and assessments that are accessible, equitable, and beneficial for everyone. This …

Julian, Simone Furini, Elisa Frullanti, Francesca Fava, Alessandra Renieri, Peng Gao, Xiaotao Shen, Ilia Sarah Timpanaro, Kevin P. Kenna, J Kenneth Baillie, Mark M. Davis, Philip S. Tsao, Michael P. Snyder

Faculty Research 2022

The determinants of severe COVID-19 in healthy adults are poorly understood, which limits the opportunity for early intervention. We present a multiomic analysis using machine learning to characterize the genomic basis of COVID-19 severity. We use single-cell multiome profiling of human lungs to link genetic signals to cell-type-specific functions. We discover >1,000 risk genes across 19 cell types, which account for 77% of the SNP-based heritability for severe disease. Genetic risk is particularly focused within natural killer (NK) cells and T¬†cells, placing the dysfunction of these cells upstream of severe disease. Mendelian randomization and single-cell profiling of human NK cells …

Bacteriophages are important in structuring bacterial communities, including desert soils dominated by Bacillus species. Here, we describe two genetically similar temperate phages isolated on a Bacillus subtilis strain from soil in Tucson, Arizona. Their double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes contain 98 and 102 genes, with a set of 4 genes being found in only one phage.

Developmental Basis Of Evolutionary Lung Loss In Plethodontid Salamanders, Zachary R. Lewis, Ryan R. Kerney, James Hanken

Biology Faculty Publications

One or more members of four living amphibian clades have independently dispensed with pulmonary respiration and lack lungs, but little is known of the developmental basis of lung loss in any taxon. We use morphological, molecular, and experimental approaches to examine the Plethodontidae, a dominant family of salamanders, all of which are lungless as adults. We confirm an early anecdotal report that plethodontids complete early stages of lung morphogenesis: Transient embryonic lung primordia form but regress by apoptosis before hatching. Initiation of pulmonary development coincides with expression of the lung-specification gene Wnt2b in adjacent mesoderm, and the lung rudiment expresses …
