This interactive, inquiry-based workshop will engage participants in practical activities to help students increase their reasoning and science process skills. Workshop participants will be introduced to a newly developed tool, the "LifeSkills Guide", based on Vision and Change. IGELS faculty will share learning outcomes, activities, and assessments for undergraduate non-science students' LifeSkills.

​In the second part of the workshop, participants will use the IGELS Lifeskills Guide to refine or revise their own classroom activity. Participants should bring an activity or draft activity to work on.

Introducing OpenSciEd Biology!

jeudi 2 novembre 2023 à 12:30–15:30 EDT
Grand Ballroom VII (3rd Floor)
Session Description

Come join us to see how OpenSciEd’s materials can help you build science learning
experiences anchored in compelling phenomena and in important community and global problems. This session will introduce you to the first unit unit in the OpenSciEd biology course and provide you with a launching point for teaching OpenSciEd Biology in your classroom. To achieve this goal, this session will put teachers in “student hat” so they can feel what it’s like to be a student whose thoughts
and questions help drive learning forward in the unit. We actually do science together
with the facilitator acting as teacher and reflect on coherence in the unit by unpacking
the storyline for the unit. We will open up and explore the structure of units and discuss the routines and resources to promote equitable science learning in high school.

Human Genome Evolution Across Scales of Biological Organization: Rajiv McCoy

vendredi 3 novembre 2023 à 09:00–10:15 EDT
Grand Ballroom V&VI (3rd Floor)
Session Description

Genetic variation mediates much of the phenotypic diversity observed in nature. DNA sequencing and related assays have produced a wealth of data that allow us to test long-standing hypotheses about how evolution shapes genetic variation and ensuing phenotypes. The scale and complexity of these data, in turn, require the development of novel computational and statistical methods tailored for their analysis.
Showcasing these themes, Dr. McCoy will describe recent foci in his
lab that span scales of biological organization. The first regards one
of the most surprising features of human biology, whereby less than half of all conceptions survive to live birth. Using data from in vitro fertilized embryos reveals diverse mechanisms of chromosome mis-segregation and their role in pregnancy loss. Extending from cells to individuals to populations, the McCoy lab is also developing resources and methods for studying abundant and impactful classes of genetic variation that have eluded the field, including contribution to the first gapless assembly of a human genome. This research has uncovered new evidence of historical natural selection, including selection favoring alleles inherited via ancient interbreeding with Neanderthals. Lastly, Dr. McCoy will end the talk by describing recent work generating and analyzing a large gene expression dataset from globally diverse human populations, creating a more complete view of gene expression evolution.
Together, this research helps explain the origins and maintenance of genetic variation underlying the phenotypes that make us all unique.

The distribution of genetic mutations within and between human populations is determined by history and natural selection. Studying today’s genetic variation can thus inform our understanding of the past.
This motivates the study of population genetics, and Dr. Ryan Gutenkunst will first introduce key concepts from this scientific field. He will then discuss findings from his research group and others that shed light on our relationships with each other and with other extinct hominids. Disturbingly, genetic research is increasingly being weaponized by racists, and Dr. Gutenkunst will close with ideas of how educators can counter this trend.

Baltimore Haunted History Tour & Closing Reception

samedi 4 novembre 2023 à 18:00–20:00 EDT
Waterview ABC
Session Description

Conclude your 2023 NABT Conference experience with an evening of Baltimore history and haunts. Picture Fell's Point, as it was, a rowdy seaport town, the birthplace of the sleek and dangerous clipper ship. Its streets were full of sailors from foreign lands spilling off ships, immigrants anxious to start a new life, and ladies of the night looking to make ends meet. Given this explosive combination, is it any wonder that many ghosts remained behind?

Join us for a bite and a beverage harborside at the hotel, before our guides lead the groups in a walking tour of Baltimore's most historic waterfront neighborhood, closing out at a popular spot to cheers to a successful conference.

There will be two ticket options:

Shortened Tour - This experience will feature slightly less walking, slightly fewer stories, and slightly fewer spooks. But it will still include access to the pre-tour reception, a shortened 45-minute tour, and a beverage of your choice at the final meet-up location.

Full Tour - This experience will include the pre-tour get reception, a 60 to 75-minute tour, and a beverage of your choice at the final meet-up location.

Disclaimers:

This experience does include a walking tour, primarily outdoors. Fells Point is historic, and sections include cobblestone streets.
We will make adjustments to this tour as weather necessitates, so there will not be refunds due to inclement weather.
We hope to make this experience as accessible as possible. Please contact conference@nabt.org if you need accommodation to participate (mobility scooters, ASL interpreters, etc).

Type of Session

Special Event. Tickets Required.
