Variants in Biology Education: What can we learn from pandemics?<\/em><\/h3>\n

Over the last two years, teaching and learning has grappled with the demands of change in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic within a highly politicized landscape for which science is on the defense and misinformation is rampant. Never before have so many questions arise about the implications for mainstream organismal biology education, and never before has the speed and scale of innovation been put into practice. The \u201cpandemic\u201d symbolizes change, resistance, immunity, adaptation, and opportunity at so many different levels \u2013 literally, in our personal lives, in education, and in mass culture. It compels us to consider the workforce needs of the future where pandemics are now ubiquitous among all living organisms: people, plants, and animals (domestic and wild).<\/p>\n
