An integrated, modular approach to data science education in microbiology

Student interest and experience in data science.
Student responses from matched pre- and post-surveys in MICB 301 indicating self-reported (A) interest (N = 143–146) and (B) experience (N = 136–143) in data science areas including bioinformatics and computer science. Due to changes in survey format, numerical responses from 2018 to 2019 were converted to categorical groups from 2017 to 2018 as none (0), low (1–3), medium (4–7), and high (8–10). Arrows and p-values indicate significant response changes by Monte Carlo symmetry tests for paired contingency tables. MICB, microbiology.
