TL;DR: A suite of complementary tools can assist biology faculty in creating classroom materials and exams at the appropriate level of Bloom's Taxonomy and students to successfully develop and answer questions that require higher-order cognitive skills.

TL;DR: Using social network analysis, it is revealed that males are more likely than females to be named by peers as being knowledgeable about the course content, and this effect increases as the term progresses, and persists even after controlling for class performance and outspokenness.

TL;DR: It is found that AFP gene expression is controlled in part by mutually exclusive binding of two trans-acting factors, p53 and hepatic nuclear factor 3 (HNF-3), which supports a model for p53-mediated repression that is both passive through displacement of a tissue-specific activating factor and active in the presence of tissue- specific corepressors.

TL;DR: The BioCore Guide as discussed by the authors is a set of general principles and specific statements that expand upon the core concepts, creating a framework that biology departments can use to align with the goals of Vision and Change.

TL;DR: Using a grassroots approach to incorporate feedback from more than 240 biologists, the authors have taken the core concepts of Vision and Change and created the BioCore Guide—a set of general principles and specific statements that expand upon the core principles, creating a framework that biology departments can use to align with the goals ofVision and Change.
