Abstract
The First New York City Regional Association of Biology Laboratory Education (RABLE) was held at St. Francis College, Brooklyn, NY. Participants included eight professors with affiliations with and/or faculty appointments from St. Francis College, the Borough of Manhattan Community College, Barnard College, St. Peter's University, Nyack College, the City College of New York, and Tuoro College, Brooklyn College, New York University and the American Museum of Natural History and 45 undergraduates from St. Francis College. Dr. Steven Lipson was the inspiration for the event, as he had received a St. Francis College Faculty Development Grant to fund a handson workshop he developed on teaching cell culture and cytotoxicity. Sarah Salm from the Borough of Manhattan Community College and Jessica Goldstein from Barnard College were recruited to help host a RABLE pending permission from the ABLE Board (which was granted). Participants could choose from an all-day cell culture/toxicity workshop, or from up to four mini-workshops from seven that were presented (one was repeated). A novelty of this RABLE was the substantial involvement of students, both in terms of presenting as well as participating in workshops.
