Prof. Knisely writes this about his talk: "The BIO2010 report is a call for a significant increase in the quantitative training of life sciences majors. Many have answered this call, and their answers have taken many different forms -- math courses with an emphasis in the life sciences, laboratory sessions redirected to cover mathematical topics, to name just two. At East Tennessee State University, with the support of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the departments of Biological Sciences and Mathematics have answered this call by developing a sequence of introductory laboratory courses that integrate biology, mathematics, and statistics into an inquiry-based, active learning format that addresses several of the BIO2010 recommendations. We call this effort the Symbiosis project. In this presentation, we will introduce both the project itself and the symbiotic nature of such a large scale integration."
