Teaching theoretical nursing.

Abstract

Nursing science has been described as being either alive or inert. Acceptance of one or the other paradigm has important implications for the way in which theories of nursing are taught in the curriculum. In this paper these conflicting paradigms are discussed and the implications for nurse teachers are outlined. It is suggested that this may involve a reconceptualisation of where nursing theories are derived and a consequent shift of power from nurse teachers to the practising nurse.

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.
