How many of you think using fun

technology is a good way to jump start your audience?

(I hope it worked…)

Happy New Year!

Today I’m going to be reviewing an ASMCUE session called

Uncorking Microbrews

Even though you have no live microphone, please post comments in the chat box and I will respond to you all at

breakpoints.

Let’s start by taking a poll!

How many of you have attended a Microbrew session before?

What is a Microbrew?

Important Points:

Oral sessions are limited to 15 minutes

Assessment and data analysis are not required

PowerPoints and other technology are discouraged(think: “chalk talks”!)

Choices are wide openThink about authentic classroom/lab/out of class activitiesPresentations on products for purchase are NOT acceptable

Step 2: Create your abstract

Go to the ASMCUE website to submit online

Let’s See an Example!

Student-Created Microbiology Lab Exercises from Primary Source Literature – A Laboratory Activity N.T. Barden. Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Boston, MA.

In an upper division microbiology course (Advanced Microbiology) students perform various laboratory exercises beyond those typically found in introductory microbiology level courses.  The exercises for these upper division students come from a variety of sources ranging from commercial laboratory manuals, the instructor’s research interests, ASM’s Microbe Library, and primary literature sources.  For the most part, students perform the laboratory exercises as directed, collect the data, and submit lab reports without ever thinking about or questioning the origins of the exercises.  Prompted by a genuine question from a student of “where do you get these exercises?”, the class was challenged to create suitable lab exercises using primary literature sources from ASM journals.  Students were assigned to work in teams of 3 or 4 and were directed to select a research article from the list provided or were given the choice to find their own article of interest.  The activity had them prepare an appropriate lab exercise based on the primary source article complete with an introduction, a section of materials and methods, the specific lab instructions that the class must follow, data collection, and interpretation of the results.  So far, students have created and led successful lab exercises for the isolation of Chromobacterium species from soil and the characterization of their violacein pigment, the isolation of Thermus aquaticus from domestic and commercial hot water sources, and the inhibition of swarming on various culture media by Proteus vulgaris.  Currently under development by this year’s class are exercises on E. coli chemotaxis, the use of a 96-well plate and plate reader to perform an antibiotic assay, and the use of cold shock to release periplasmic enzymes from Gram-negative bacteria.  Examples of the student created lab exercises will be provided. Core Concepts: Structure, Impact of microorganisms
