To increase science literacy and appreciation among nonscience majors, we offered a course in which 20 non-STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) undergraduates participated in a unique, two-semester research experience. Each student isolated and characterized his or her own bacteriophage from soil samples. One bacteriophage was selected for sequencing and together, the class annotated the genome of the newly sequenced bacteriophage. The class produced a group poster and gave PowerPoint presentations, and one student presented the joint work at a science symposium.
为了提高非科学专业学生的科学素养和欣赏水平,我们开设了一门课程,共有 20 名非 STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)专业的本科生参加了这一独特的、为期两个学期的研究体验。每位学生从土壤样本中分离并鉴定自己的噬菌体。选择了一种噬菌体进行测序,全班同学共同注释了新测序噬菌体的基因组。全班制作了一张集体海报,并进行了 PowerPoint 演示,还有一名学生在科学研讨会上展示了合作成果。
