Prepping Your Biology Students for Success

Undergraduate Biology - Hybrid Delivery in 2022

 

Do your students struggle with the breadth and depth of your course? Are they as engaged as you would like them to be? Is managing a large cohort and supporting struggling students causing you a headache? How do you offer timely feedback to your students? Would you like to improve the efficiency of class time and lab sessions?

This event is an opportunity to hear from several experienced instructors about solutions they have found to meet some of these challenges and better support their students to success on their course. Join us for a live panel discussion where educators Mathijs Bergman, James Carolan, Sabrina Tosi and David Tree will explore how they have used digital tools to enhance their students' study and employability skills.

Meet our speakers

Mathijs Bergman

My name is Mathijs Bergman, I earned my PhD on the mechanism(s) involved in gastric autoimmunity associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, and currently am a senior lecturer at VU University Amsterdam. I am involved in several bachelor programmes in our Faculty of Science and developed undergraduate courses in Microbiology, Immunology, Cell Biology, and Infectious Diseases.

James Carolan

Dr James Carolan is a Lecturer in Biology at Maynooth University in Ireland, where he has taught since 2011. Prior to that he taught at UCD and Trinity College Dublin, also in Ireland.

Sabrina Tosi

Dr Sabrina Tosi is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Life Sciences at Brunel University London, where she is Director of Teaching & Learning. Previously, she has been Programme Lead of the Biomedical Sciences BSc programme and before then she was Level 4 coordinator in the same Programme. Sabrina has been teaching Principles of Anatomy and Physiology to first year's students for more than 15 years and she has been advocate of the implementation of digital learning tools in the teaching of various disciplines within the Department.

David Tree

Dr David Tree is Reader in Biosciences and Director of Teaching and Learning for Life Sciences at Brunel University London, UK, where he has taught since 2005. He is a developmental geneticist who uses Drosophila genetics to study the genetic, molecular, and cell biological mechanisms controlling patterning during embryonic development and the homeostasis of adult tissues and organs. His current work in the lab focuses on cellular reception and integration of extracellular signals to regulate cell polarity, tissue homeostasis, and aging.

Linda Stewart

Dr Linda Stewart is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, UK. Linda obtained both her BSc (Joint Honours) in Genetics and Microbiology (1987) and her PhD in Clinical Microbiology (1993) at Queen's University Belfast. Her PhD was based on the gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis and investigations of its antigenic variation in clinical samples.

Angela Mousley

Professor Angela Mousley is based in the School of Biological Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, UK.
