Abstract
From very early on, my personal/professional life has been shaped by teachers in many different settings. Teaching and learning form a two-way street. In the process of teaching undergraduate students, particularly in the research lab, I have learned some profound lessons about the importance of listening to them, challenging them, giving them autonomy, and allowing them to enjoy success and to risk failure. I am now working with a team of faculty members to implement these lessons in a course-based undergraduate research experience in the biochemistry teaching laboratory. Our goal is to seek answers to the question "How do students become scientists?" and to implement those answers with our future students.
Highlights
I have been blessed throughout my life to work with people who challenged me and loved me
Dr Dale Williams at Oral Roberts University encouraged me to pursue the path that lay before me at a time when I was thinking of pursuing a career outside of science
Bob Bateman has been my friend and confidant for many years, starting with a conversation at Ann Arbor in 1984, as we have walked the journey of science and faith together. These people have taught me the importance of respecting others and building personal integrity in all of life, which is best encapsulated in a saying that I learned from Steve Murray when he was pastor at La Jolla Presbyterian Church during my sabbatical with Phil Bourne:
Summary
Bob Bateman has been my friend and confidant for many years, starting with a conversation at Ann Arbor in 1984, as we have walked the journey of science and faith together These people have taught me the importance of respecting others and building personal integrity in all of life, which is best encapsulated in a saying that I learned from Steve Murray when he was pastor at La Jolla Presbyterian Church during my sabbatical with Phil Bourne:. In 2010, Bob Bateman and I published a rubric about assessing student molecular literacy for the spring 2010 PDB Newsletter (3) This led to a talk about assessing student learning with molecular visualization at the 2013 ASBMB-sponsored symposium on Student-Centered Education in the Molecular Life Sciences. The following stories mark highlights from the past 25 years, in which I hope to communicate my admiration and gratitude to a number of the young scientists who have been part of my life
