Module 4 Expectations

Module 4: What compounds are available?

Good afternoon! In this module, we explore the concept of chemical space and compound screening. In this week’s case study, we will discuss the BIT Program’s favorite protein of interest, CaMPARI, as it will help you prepare for the Group lab Project.

Last week you were assembled into teams for the Group Lab Project (Group Lab Project Guidelines and Rubric). This week you will need to create an outline of your manuscript and submit it at the end of Tuesday’s lab period. These drafts will be exchanged for peer review, and the more detail you can add, the better feedback you can receive! We would also like to acknowledge that it is expected to be a rough draft at this stage, and perfection is the enemy of progress. As a reminder, each week, your group for the projects will have two communication and equity tasks: 

  • Draft an outline of your manuscript using the JoVE template and include your data analysis and annotated bibliography. You should also generate a plan for how you will record a video or your protocol in the next two lab sessions. Submit a link to your JoVE draft as Google Doc on the Moodle submission portal. 
  • Post a Teamwork Accountability Report to the forum by Tuesday, April 4 by midnight to let others know how your JoVE manuscript project is developing. In 3-5 sentences, explain what your group has done and is working on.

As always, reach out if you have any questions or if you are in need of a little grace to finish Module 4!

Best,

Your HTD Instructional Team,
