The Open for Antiracism (OFAR) Program – co-led by CCCOER and College of the Canyons – emerged as a response to the growing awareness of structural racism in our educational systems and the realization that adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy could be transformative at institutions seeking to improve. The program is designed to give participants a workshop experience where they can better understand anti-racist teaching and how the use of OER and open pedagogy can empower them to involve students in the co-creation of an anti-racist classroom. The capstone project involves developing an action plan for incorporating OER and open pedagogy into a course.I share 3 resources here from my Introduction to Biology course: our syllabus with specifications grading (complete/incomplete grading with unlimited revisions) and no late penalties, our Biologist Biographies project, and our content curation project. Please adapt these resources to make your own course more antiracist!

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) is a member of an embryonic signaling cascade that is involved in lung development, but in mature tissue it plays key roles in both cancer and neurological disease. In cancer BMPR2 regulates cell survival signaling events independent of BMP type 1 receptors or the Smad-1/5 transcription factor. BMPR2 contributes to neurological disease when its signaling pathway is overactivated, and BMPR2 stabilizes microtubules. However, it is not yet known if BMPR2 regulates microtubules in cancer cells or what effect that would have on cell survival. To examine this, researchers recently inhibited BMPR2 signaling in lung cancer cell culture and found that it destabilized microtubules. This destabilization led to the activation of lysosomes, which then further decreased BMPR2 signaling. This likely sensitizes cancer cells to cell death via lysosomal permeability. These results demonstrate novel mechanisms by which BMPR2 regulates survival in cancer cells..."

This objective of the lab is to have students think as much about sampling and survey design as the EM and GPR methods. Students will draw on our discussions in class, and also draw on your own experiences and logic. Their goal of will be to design a survey-using each technique-based on the fictitious objectives and constraints I outline. Students then present your data and interpretations in a written and oral report, and then create a revised plan based on your experiences in the field. Addresses student fear of quantitative aspect and/or inadequate quantitative skills Uses geophysics to solve problems in other fields Addresses student misconceptions

Students are introduced to the concept of engineering biological organisms and studying their growth to be able to identify periods of fast and slow growth. They learn that bacteria are found everywhere, including on the surfaces of our hands. Student groups study three different conditions under which bacteria are found and compare the growth of the individual bacteria from each source. In addition to monitoring the quantity of bacteria from differ conditions, they record the growth of bacteria over time, which is an excellent tool to study binary fission and the reproduction of unicellular organisms.

In this new video we look at the basics of bacteria. We look at their classifications, sizes, shapes and how they reproduce. This video is intended to be a primer on bacteria. We will go into more details as we progress in this series. -------------- Visit Us On The Internet: -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/mrfordsclass -Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrfordsclass -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrfordsclasslearning -Google+: https://plus.google.com/+mrfordsclass/posts -Instagram: http://instagram.com/mrfordsclasslearning

In this inquiry activity, students generate investigable questions to explore the link between hygiene/cleanliness and bacteria growth/population. The students will present their conclusions, and video clips containing additional information will be discussed.

"Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Two important hallmarks of the disease are faulty tumor suppressor genes and altered composition of the community of microbes that live in the colon. That prompted researchers to explore whether there is a connection between the two. They examined 33 tissue samples from patients with colorectal cancer. Protein-assisted DNA sequencing revealed the prominence of Fusobacterium nucleatum, pathogenic bacteria associated with gum disease, and Hungatella hathewayi, rod-shaped bacteria with no substantial track record of causing disease. Further experiments showed that these bacteria can actually mute genes that normally suppress cancer, promoting the spread of colorectal cancer cells. The findings are unexpected evidence that bacteria in the colon can regulate genes linked to cancer suppression and reveal at least a few targets for anti-cancer therapy..."
