John Doctor Education Prize—A Best Education Video Competition

The Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) Professional Development and Education Committee (PDEC) created the John Doctor Education Prize to highlight great developmental biology education research.  In previous years, the committee awarded a prize for the best education poster at the SDB annual meeting.  This year, the PDEC has reinvented the award as a best education video competition.

The challenge is for SDB members to produce short videos (5 min max) demonstrating a creative and engaging method for teaching difficult-to-learn topics in developmental biology to an undergraduate, graduate, or lay public audience.  This year’s developmental biology concept is induction.  Videos with broad appeal and those demonstrating active learning exercises or hands-on activities are preferred.  The creator(s) of the best video will be awarded a certificate and a check for $1000 at the 75th SDB Annual Meeting awards banquet in Boston.

For more information see links to the guidelines for submission and online form below.  The submission deadline is Monday, June 6, 2016 (11:59 pm EDT).
