iBioSeminars
1 comment
iBioSeminars is a freely available library of video seminars from outstanding scientists, including many HHMI investigators. These lectures, which describe on-going research in leading laboratories, feature an extensive introduction to the subject matter, making them accessible to advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students and researchers outside of the specific field. The main subject areas are biological mechanisms, cell biology and medicine, developmental biology and evolution, chemical biology and biophysics, and global health and energy. The lectures are divided into two or three segments of approximately 30 minutes each; the first segment provides an introduction, while other segments explore a particular research topic or provide a perspective of the field and where it is going. The lectures can be accessed through Web streaming and can also be downloaded onto a personal computer or a video iPod or iPhone. Educators can show or assign as homework a complete video lecture or can incorporate short (one- to six-minute) video clips on a wide variety of topics into their own lectures. Many of the video talks also contain teaching tools such as lecture notes and recommended readings, review questions and answers, and an "explain these concepts to a friend" feature. Biographies of the speakers are also available on the website. A new BioTechniques video series explains important laboratory techniques such as microscopy and mass spectrometry. Educators must register to view answers posted in the Teaching Tools section and to receive notification of new lectures and teaching materials. These seminars were funded in part by HHMI’s Office of Grants and Special Programs.
