Guidelines for health physics program content: baccalaureate level.

Abstract

Guidelines are suggested for baccalaureate health physics program content based on the schema used in a prior publication. The Guidelines assume a program with a primary emphasis on generalized health physics and presuppose an institutional breadth coursework requirement. Methods of strengthening areas of current general weakness are proposed, and one version of a coursework model is presented. Comments to the author and the Manpower and Professional Education Committee of the Health Physics Society are welcomed.

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.
