| Description |
I am currently recruiting students for a Project Vista Faculty-Student Research Learning Communities Project. This project will take place in summer, 2013. Students will be hired as graduate assistants for 32 hours at $12-14/hour, depending on experience. Students and their faculty leader will meet a minimum of 30 hours over the summer (days are flexible) to engage in a scientific research and writing project. The project will focus on the synthesis of a Lab Manual as utilized in a biological wet-lab. This Lab Manual, specific to the area of biotechnology (molecular and cellular biology), will have two components: (a) Protocol and (b) Biosafety. Four students will work in pairs with each pair focusing on one component of the manual (2 students will develop the Protocol component while 2 students will develop the Biosafety component). The Lab Manual is a highly valuable tool in a lab setting, one that students can refer to for designing their experiments, preparing reagents using specific recipes and for reference with regard to biosafety guidelines. Student Learning Outcomes: Students who participate in this writing project will be able to: i. Perform an extensive survey of currently followed experimental and biosafety protocols in molecular and cellular biology. ii. Conduct a technical assessment of experimental and biosafety protocols. iii. Write out specific protocols and biosafety rules and compile them into a lab manual. |
