Why Chicago Teacher of Teachers Laboratory for Educational Experimentation Interdisciplinary history Outstanding Students Highly Ranked Departments

Cultural Barriers at Chicago Learning about biological v. Physical Sciences Understanding/Evaluating Science

Program Goals Transform the culture at Chicago Tribal to Interdisciplinary Bring together the Community Physical Sciences Faculty Institutes Medical School Basic Sciences

Why Undergraduates? Early Intervention Curriculum/Educable Curious Passionate Outcomes & Impact

Approach Community of Scholars Create Links between Students and Faculty Empowering the Fellows for Independence

Student Centered Program Proposals come from Students, not PI Competitively vetted Stipends for Fellows Opportunity to interact with students, not Mentors

Community of Scholars Weekly Meetings Oral presentations Open discussion Retreat with ID Graduate Students Promoting long-term Relationships

Faculty director’s Role Alternative, Independent Shared Commitment from parallel history Non-conformists Rapid Response Connected sideways and upwards

Empowering the Fellows for Independence Personal relationships/directors as Mentors Fellows Impact Program Evolution Generations passing on Culture

Student Selection Based on student-generated proposal Evaluated by two faculty members (from PSD and BSD) Fellows participate in: Life in BSD lab weekly Student seminars Spring quarter-biophysical Discussions

Time line Application deadlineEnd of Winter Q Student Interviews Beginning of Spring Q Awards announcedMid April Summer Program Beginsmid June Summer Program endsmid August

Mentors: Biologists paired with quantitative scientist Computer Sciences Chemists Physicists Statisticians (Mathematicians)

Why Roadmap initiative NIH conservative, Tribal, Segmented High Risk, High Reward Broadly Cross-disciplinary Math/Stat to Therapy

Quantitative biology How much Math do biologists need to know Biology is increasing quantitative importance of models in biology large data sets generated by genomic/proteomic approaches

Mathematical Methods For Biological Scientists I linear Algebra, DE, Dynamical Systems ii Partial Differentials, Vector spaces, Fourier Transformations III probability, PC Analysis, Stochastic processes Lab component

Thanks! Steve Kron Associate Professor Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology All of you
