概括
虚拟实验室会议计划 (LaMP) 成功扩大了早期职业科学家的专业网络和知识. 这种包容性的方法提高了实习生在STEM的发展和多样性,提供了最少的导师时间,并为主办实验室提供了有价值的观点.
科学领域:
- 科学,技术,工程和数学 (STEM) 教育和专业发展.
背景情况:
- 职业生涯早期的科学家在发展专业网络方面面临挑战,原因是STEM的历史不平等.
- 高级学者为有效的指导提供有限的时间,进一步加剧了这些挑战.
研究的目的:
- 评估虚拟实验室会议计划 (LaMP) 在支持早期职业科学家方面的有效性.
- 评估该计划对专业网络扩张的影响,对"隐藏课程"的了解,以及STEM中的多样性.
主要方法:
- 让早期职业科学家 (mentees) 与经验丰富的科学家 (mentors) 相匹配,以便参加虚拟实验室会议.
- 在定期的实验室会议日程中整合两个专门的课程,用于每个教师的专业发展.
- 从实习生收集调查数据,以评估项目成果.
主要成果:
- 参与者报告说,他们扩大了专业网络,并对STEM"隐藏课程"有了更好的理解.
- 该计划显示,与导师相比,受教者之间的多样性增加了,这表明参与代表性不足的群体的成功.
- 东道实验室受益于学员分享的新鲜观点和知识.
结论:
- 虚拟LAMP提供了一个包容性,成本效益高的策略,以促进STEM中的实习生发展.
- 该计划要求导师提供最少的额外时间,同时为导师和东道院机构带来显著的好处.
- 财务奖学金被发现对学生的参与和成功很重要.

The energy required to carry out photosynthesis is light— typically electromagnetic radiation from the sun. The range of all possible wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

01:27C4 Pathway and CAM
38.2K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

1.3K
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...
