The 2024 ASMCUE Subtitle
Quorum Sensing: Communicating Within The Biology Education Community
The subtitle of 2024 ASMCUE is “Quorum Sensing: Communicating Within The Biology Education Community.” In a similar way that quorum sensing sparks a group of microbes to communicate and take action when a quota is met, ASMCUE sparks a group of educators to communicate, take action and positively change the culture of teaching amd learning in higher education. Instead of serving as an overarching theme for content and proposals, this subtitle reflects the purpose, experience and feelings of an ASMCUE meeting.
