The COVID-19 outbreak has shut down universities, and teaching faculty have moved to online classrooms to address students. This change has been supported by numerous online teaching tools and development of virtual classrooms. Undergraduate research programs in the sciences and biochemistry/molecular biology teaching labs, however, are affected by this change due to inaccessibility to laboratories. This communication outlines three concepts to engage undergraduate students who are involved in research: (a) remote data analysis, (b) literature review and science writing, and (c) science journal clubs.
新冠疫情的爆发导致大学停课,教师们纷纷转向在线课堂来授课。这一转变得到了众多在线教学工具以及虚拟课堂发展的支持。然而,由于无法进入实验室,理工科的本科研究项目以及生物化学/分子生物学教学实验室受到了这一变化的影响。本通讯概述了三种让参与研究的本科生参与进来的理念:(a) 远程数据分析,(b) 文献综述与科学写作,以及 (c) 科学期刊俱乐部。
