Race and ethnicity in biology research mentoring relationships.
Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2019 This case study investigated how mentors and mentees in biology experience and understand race and ethnicity in their research mentoring relationships. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with mentors (n = 23) and mentees (n = 15) who had participated in an undergraduate biology summer research opportunity program at a large Midwestern research ...

Introduction to Race and Biology [PDF]
Appartenances & Altérités, 2021 The notion of race, as commonly employed, is often and spontaneously associated with a biological foundation. To explain this connection with biology it is necessary to undertake an archaeological approach to the concept of race. Such an approach will identify different semantic strata, which, for both the scientific community and lay circles, have ...

A molecular relay race: sequential first-passage events to the terminal reaction centre in a cascade of diffusion controlled processes [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We consider a sequential cascade of molecular first-reaction events towards a terminal reaction centre in which each reaction step is controlled by diffusive motion of the particles.
