About Able
The Association
for Biology Laboratory Education (ABLE) was founded in 1979
to promote information exchange among university and college educators actively
concerned with teaching biology in a laboratory setting. The focus of ABLE
is to improve the undergraduate biology laboratory experience by promoting
the development and dissemination of interesting, innovative, and reliable
laboratory exercises.
Each conference brings together a group of selected presenters with about 140
participants from university and college biology departments throughout Canada
and the U.S. In three full days, the participants are actively involved in
four 3-hour "hands on" workshops and several shorter "mini" workshops.
The workshop presenters provide all of the essential information and experiences
that attendees need in order to "take it home" and use the exercise
in their own teaching program. The workshops are published in Tested Studies
for Laboratory Teaching, the conference proceedings published by ABLE.
