Highlights and News of BioF:GREAT

Glycobiology is undertaught in the classroom. Therefore, the experience to teach it by instructors is lacking as well. To better teach all aspects of the Glycosciences, the Educational team of BioF:GREAT have devised a plan to attack these problems. Some of these plans are to:

•Transform fundamental instruction in biology by developing a suite of instructional
experiences (small modules to stand-alone glycoscience courses) at high
school/undergraduate/graduate levels using best pedagogical practices, evaluating
for improvement, and testing for effectiveness and impact.
• Create educational YouTube videos on introductory areas in glycoscience to
emphasize impact across biology and focused “hot-topics” areas of discovery.
• Develop new hands-on summer courses in “Glycoenzymes and AI tools in
glycoengineering” and “Glycoanalytics.”
