Our paper is part of the special issue 'A Global Perspective on Current Research in Physiology Education'. Huge thanks to all involved along the way 🎉
Check out the paper (link above) and our accompanying toolkit for more info: doi.org/10.25405/dat... 4/4
The project format is easily adaptable for other institutions and subject areas, we hope, and is also a great way to get to know your students, enhance engagement with wider academic services, and also get some transnational education in along the way 🌏 3/
