<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just wanted to share a cool opportunity sponsored by the Institute of Systems Biology in collaboration with Bellevue College and Tacoma Community College. This is for fauclty who teach in the biology major’s series and is an opportunity
to join the Next-Gen Bio Learning Network. They are recruiting a new cohort of community college faculty and next-gen biologists with a goal to support innovation in biology education and data science skills at Washington State Community and Technical Colleges.
See flyer for more details. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of the program participants will:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Be immersed in cutting-edge next-gen biology presented by the biologists doing the work;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Explore diversity, equity, and inclusion issues related to next-gen biology;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Collaborate on a vision to use real-world biological data to enhance their current curriculum and enrich student outcomes across a breadth of biology major courses;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Develop curriculum adaptations to engage and inspire students in remote/hybrid/in-person settings; and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Create relationships with research and education colleagues across the region.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$1500 stipend. To apply, please email Jen Eklund, <a href="mailto:jen.eklund@isbscience.org">
