Laser education: current standards and recommendations.

Abstract

Laser technology has made a significant impact on the nursing profession. Technology challenges traditional practices, and presents an array of new clinical therapies and associated hazards for both patients and medical personnel. Educational opportunities must be objectively evaluated if consumers are to obtain credible, valid, and effective training that will prepare them to comply with current standards and recommended practices.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
