Bacteria to Brains in Backyard Coyotes: An Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Case Study

Bacteria to Brains in Backyard Coyotes: An Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Case Study

This interdisciplinary pedagogical case study bridges immunology, microbiology, ecology and animal behavior. It focuses on differences between rural and urban coyotes at the levels of organismal and community ecology, including how their gut microbiomes could affect their behaviour. The case explores how altered microbiomes can influence behavior changes through the gut-brain axis. Cross talk between the brain and gut microbiome involves multiple physiological systems including the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. Thumbnail image credit: created by the resource authors.
Modeling the cytokines and the adaptive immune response to pathogens

Modeling the cytokines and the adaptive immune response to pathogens

This is a computational modeling based activity utilizing Cell Collective platform. The instructors at ImmunoReach (Dr. Rebekah Taylor, Dr. Sumali Pandey and Dr. Louis B. Justement) collaborated with cell collective liaison (Skylar Loecker) to develop this module, which will help students to:    Identify different components of immune system and illustrate how these components work together to generate and regulate the response.    List functions that the immune system carries out, and understand how individual components play a role in mediating specific functions.    Model the interactions of the immune system with other systems (e.g. the nervous system)Thumbnail image credit: created by the resource authors using https://cellcollective.org/
An Integrated Approach to Teaching Cell Staining

An Integrated Approach to Teaching Cell Staining

Content-Focused Student Groups

Content-Focused Student Groups

This activity uses a content-focused icebreaker strategy to form student groups on first day of the class. Check out this activity, if you would like to form groups, and allow students to compare and contrast between immune system diseases and diseases of the other body systems, or immune cells and other cells in the body.
