At the time of composing this message I am sitting in a traffic jam feeling oddly glad for a moment of peace to reflect on the day, especially since silencing the election coverage on my radio. Today my mind drifts to tetchy curriculum planning discussions that led to talk about the changing role of teaching faculty. The reality is that students no longer need us to be their sources of information; I dare say that the content of every traditional physiology lecture is already available on YouTube! Of course as physiologists we have always valued conceptual learning, critical thinking, teamwork and professionalism, so I hope you are not feeling threatened by this new reality. As an outstanding teacher you are accustomed to not only being a font of knowledge but also a planner of meaningful learning encounters, a role
model, a guide to resources, a counselor, a mentor, a coach, an assessor and program evaluator. Clearly you should demand a pay rise from your Dean! Then again, maybe you are still working on some of these many challenging roles and could use a focal point for your professional development? Perhaps belonging to a community of like-‐minded colleagues can fuel your resilience and enthusiasm? Our APS Teaching Section has been providing this outlet for over 30 years and, as the pace of change in education quickens, I hope your affiliation with the section will deepen. For those who can meet at EB we will again have an opportunity to learn new things from a strong formal teaching section program, and will have the chance to enjoy exceptional camaraderie. If you cannot attend EB, then please join the burgeoning online Physiology Educator Community through the Life Science Teaching Resource Community (http://www.lifescitrc.org/), and think about attending our summer Institute on Teaching and Learning (http://www.the-‐aps.org/ITL). The physiology teacher’s future is bright and that future is now. Best, Jon Kibble
Greetings From the Chair Jonathan Kibble, PhD
The 2016 Claude Bernard Distinguished Lectureship award is presented to an established investigator with a history of excellence in education who is making outstanding contributions to teaching and learning. This year we are proud to announce Dr. Barb Goodman, PhD., as the recipient of the Claude Bernard Distinguished Lectureship award. Dr. Goodman is a full professor in the Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences of the Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota. Barb was honored with the Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year award in 2011 and was recently selected to be in the inaugural class of APS Fellows. She currently teaches Advanced Human Physiology to pre-‐professional undergraduates, Medical Physiology to Occupational Therapy doctoral students, a First-‐Year Experience class to incoming first-‐year undergraduates.
Nominations for the 2017 are underway. The educator may be an APS member or a non-‐member nominated by a member. The awardee will give the Claude Bernard Distinguished Lectureship talk at Experimental Biology 2017 in Chicago. The awardee’s talk is expected to further interest and enhancement of educational practices relevant to teachers of physiology. The award consists of a $1000 honorarium, up $2000 travel reimbursement to Experimental Biology, complimentary registration to the meeting, and complimentary tickets to the section differ. Self-‐nomination is permitted for APS member. Nominators must upload a nomination letter and nominee’s curriculum vitae by May 2016. Notification of outcome of this award will be June, 2016.
The Arthur C. Guyton Educator of the Year award recognizes physiology educators that have shown excellence in teaching and have made significant contributions in student advisement, graduate education, and/or curriculum design and reform at their institution. This year the APS teaching section is proud to announce Dr. Nancy Paleaz, Ph.D as the 2016 Guyton Awardee. Dr. Paleaz is Professor in Department of Biological Sciences at Perdue University, where she teaches vascular physiology. Among her long list of teaching accomplishments, Pelaez, also founded the Purdue International Biology Education Research Group (PIBERG), and is currently a member of the Fulbright Roster of Scholars to consult on biology education research projects overseas. PIBERG research in Biology Education at Purdue has a strong international focus hosting Visiting Scholars from Turkey, South Africa, Australia, Colombia, and Brazil. Congratulations Dr. Paleaz!

Refresher Course: Keep Your Eye on the Ion. Refresher Course on Ionic Homeostasis and Systems Physiology Date: Saturday, April 2, 2016 Location: Convention Center RM 24 The APS Education Committee sponsors refresher courses on physiology topics during Experimental Biology. Courses are designed to provide both an intensive overview of content in one of the areas of physiology and opportunities to review new teaching methods and materials for physiology instruction. They are targeted especially for non-‐specialists who have teaching responsibilities in the refresher course's content area. For EB2016, the refresher course topic is Integration of Cellular and Systems Physiology and entitled: “Keep Your Eye On the Ion-‐A Refresher Couse Ionic Homeostasis and Systems Physiology”. We are thrilled to have secured a high-‐caliber panel of speakers that will cover a broad range of topics including ionic homeostasis/regulation and its role in the 1) hypertension and sodium (Dr. John Osborn); 2) Renal disease and Potassium (Dr. Biff Palmer); 3) Acid-‐base Physiology and Potassium (Dr. L. Lee Hamm) and 4) Cardiac Ischemia: Ionic currents and the ECG (Dr. Richard Klabunde). This refresher course will certainly appeal to a broad audience of APS members and we look forward to continuing the outstanding refresher course tradition.

APS Education EB Updates
The APS Education Committee would like to encourage you all to attend the Undergraduate research poster session. This special session is held to highlight the contributions of undergraduate students to physiology research. The session is held in addition to any regularly scheduled scientific poster session. The Undergraduate Poster Session provides undergraduate researchers with an opportunity to highlight their research and meet faculty from many graduate and medical schools.
In addition, the David S. Bruce Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Research are awarded during this session. Departments and programs help sponsor the session by hosting a table to recruit students into their graduate program.

Advances in Physiology Education Advances in Physiology Education continues to expand with an increase in subscriptions. Excitingly, Advances is now a continuous publication journal so you no longer have to wait for the quarterly printing to see the latest educational/ pedagogical articles! Articles will immediately be available on-‐line when they are ready for publication.
New Best Practices Series Advances in Physiology Education Best Practices series is now available. We hope this series will provide opportunities for faculty development by 1) reviewing the theory and evidence behind current approaches to teaching and learning and 2) providing a practical framework to implement those theories in the classroom or laboratory. Among the topics for which we have commissioned papers are the Archives and Sourcebook, learning theories, assessment, flipped classrooms, instructional design, mentoring, and educational research and scholarship. The PECOP project is designed to build a growing and dynamic community of undergraduate physiology educators who: interact, share resources, and collaborate on an ongoing basis; learn and apply effective scientific teaching methods in their classrooms, such as student-‐centered learning emphasized in Vision and Change; and use scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) methodologies to improve their teaching. Check out our blog site-‐ http://blog.lifescitrc.org/pecop/. The Physiology Education Community of Practice blog site was launched floowing the 2014 Institute on Teaching and Learning. I manage the blog and we are in need of guest bloggers (a few this semester and most for next semester). If you have anything that you would like to get out there to the community and a head shot and a short bio, I would love to have you volunteer for one of the slots on the attached schedule. I will send you reminders as your time to post approaches. Please email me if you are interested in being a blogger. As you can see from the blog site, our posts are sometimes more meaty and sometimes more casual. Both are acceptable. Also please put the 2016 ITL on your calendars. It will be June 20-‐24 in Madison, WI. Marketing materials are being prepared. Hope to see you there! Best, Barb Goodman
Date/Time: Monday April 4, 2016, 7-‐10 pm Location: Athens Market Taverna, 109 West F Street Cost: Standard ticket $65; student ticket $40
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
