Challenges faced by immunology educators in higher education and their responses through an adapted ecological systems framework of teaching challenges
Introduction Advances in our understanding of the immune system have contributed to important progress in the medical field, however gaps in immunology education and training persist. Methods We surveyed 76 immunology instructors housed in a range of institutions in the United States regarding challenges they face, as well as the solutions they employ using an adapted form of the K-12 conceptual framework of teaching challenges for higher educati…
Introducing undergraduate students to human evolution through eco-immunology
Introduction The benefits of actively engaging students is especially relevant for teaching undergraduate students about evolutionary processes and content. Examining eco-immunological data can help students overcome the naïve conception that humans are not evolving or affected by evolutionary pressures. Methods Here, we used graphical reasoning in two evolution courses (small/honors and large/regular) to teach students about eco-immunology in hu…
Integrating neuroscience and immunology core concepts to develop a neuroimmunology curriculum
Training students in interdisciplinary thinking is critical for the future of scientific discovery and problem-solving more generally. Therefore, students must have early opportunities to grapple with knowns and unknowns at the frontiers of interdisciplinary inquiry. Neuroimmunology challenges students to think at the intersection of two rapidly evolving fields, neuroscience and immunology. As these disciplines focus on complex systems, their int…
Beyond the microscope
Textbooks are essential resources for developing immunological literacy. This article emphasizes expanding educational focus beyond traditional technical content to more broadly encompass inclusion and equity in the classroom. Equitable and inclusive teaching requires thoughtful selection of course materials by applying principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDE-A), yet clear guidance using these principles for course desi…
Strategies for navigating primary scientific literature in undergraduate immunology courses
The impact of immunology on our daily lives is growing every year. From vaccines to immunotherapies, it's essential for our healthcare professionals (present and future) and the general public as patients or caregivers to be literate in immunology. One way to foster immune literacy in this rapidly advancing field is through Primary Scientific Literature (PSL). There are unique challenges with integrating PSL into immunology courses. First, the la…
Factors Contributing to Sex Differences in Mice Inhaling Aspergillus fumigatus
Aspergillus fumigatus is a respiratory fungal pathogen and an allergen, commonly detected in flooded indoor environments and agricultural settings. Previous studies in Balb/c mice showed that repeated inhalation of live and dry A. fumigatus spores, without any adjuvant, elevated allergic immune response and airway remodeling. Sex-specific differences can influence host-pathogen interactions and allergic-asthma related outcomes. However, the effec…
