Last year, as the threat of COVID-19 became clear, SUNY Cobleskill professor Barbara Brabetz knew she had to make some changes to her biochemistry class.
“I was planning on having my students each adopt a protein, biochemically,” Brabetz said. “They talk about the genetics of it, physiology of it, the protein structure and then how therapeutics can target that protein structure. But I saw that this was an experience for everyone to see science built in real time and at superspeed.”
