Biology students master volumetric measurement techniques while creating a unique work of art.
Science students must demonstrate a collection of competencies, including an array of essential laboratory skills. In our Cellular and Molecular Biology course (BIOL 240), a crucial skill is the transfer of small volumes of liquids using a micropipette. To learn this foundational technique, students followed a “pipette by numbers” pattern on a canvas, which allowed them to asses their ability to transfer the correct volume (demonstrating accuracy) repeatedly (demonstrating precision). At the end, each student’s picture formed part of a larger pattern of all the images created by the students in the lab, resulting in a colorful depiction of the double helices in DNA. Stop by the 6th floor later this week to view the students’ work displayed in the hall!
