This podcast episode, published by the Center for Occupational Research and Development, is part of a series that covers issues and topics on technician development. In this episode, Jon Tucker discusses how education and industry are innovating and collaborating so that biotechnology technicians...

These resources, from the Northeast Biomanufacturing Center and Collaborative (NBC2), include information on the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the batch culture of recombinant E. coli. A 38-page manual includes four SOPs, a protocol, and a batch record; these are also available as...

In this lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE), students will explore photosynthesis, develop a testable hypothesis about the effect of light quality (color) on the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea, and graph measurement data from their testing. The...

In this lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE), students will learn the phases of mitosis and determine the approximate time it takes for plant and animal cells to pass through each of the four stages of mitosis. They do this by counting the number of...

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to etch processes used in microsystems. The lecture runs for 15:26 minutes and covers "types of etch processes used to fabrication micro-sized devices with an emphasis on the wet etch processes." More...

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to etch processes used in microsystems. The lecture runs for 14:55 minutes and covers "the basics of dry etch processes and describes several applications of dry etching for microsystems fabrication. "...

This page from EuroStemCell provides stem cell resources, teaching tools, and activities to educators and scientists doing outreach. "Resources for Educators" includes EuroStemCell developed lesson plans and activities, such as a role play on taking stem cells into a clinic, stem cell stories, short...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Eva Nogales Molecular Cell Biology Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and it covers Visualizing Biological Structure Using Electron Microscopy: From Molecules to Cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) offers the...

In this activity, provided by Digital World Biology, students use free, online biotechnology resources to investigate how well different commercial antibodies might work against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Students will first use NextStrain.org to locate and detect the spike proteins of emerging SARS-CoV-2...

This PowerPoint tutorial is provided by Hartnell College and covers evolution and microevolution. In this tutorial, students will learn the difference between macroevolution and microevolution, how Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium works as well as factors that can upset this equilibrium, and how to use...
