PIBERG is a scholarly group of Purdue faculty, staff, students, and affiliate scholars who support each other as we investigate teaching and learning in the life sciences. Our goal is to bridge the gap between science education research and its application to help students learn about biology or biochemistry as a research endeavor.
The PIBERG Publications series contains scholarship related to biology education research authored by PIBERG members and published in the form of journal articles, book chapters, books, or conference proceedings.
