“…This responsibility of being strategic and inclusive in teaching the next generation of cell biologists has been one of the foremost priorities of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). ASCB established CBE—Life Sciences Education , currently one of the premier education journals, in which we can find many pioneering and breakthrough primary literature articles related to best practices in science pedagogy (Dolan, 2018). Moreover, through the work of its Education and Minorities Affairs Committees, the ASCB has a long history of implementing programs and initiatives to raise awareness and provide opportunities to our members to engage in evidence-based teaching and mentoring of the next generation of cell biologists (Wilson and Haynes, 2002; Segarra et al , 2017).…”

The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is a community dedicated to helping prepare the next generation of scientists to advance our understanding of the cell to an unprecedented level of sophistication and detail. Its Education Committee fosters this process by creating educational and professional development opportunities around best practices in science pedagogy, while its Minorities Affairs Committee aims to strengthen the scientific workforce by broadening participation of and support for underrepresented minorities in cell biology. To act upon these complementary priorities, the ASCB has developed a Declaration on Effective and Inclusive Biology Education. Its purpose is to outline practical actions for stakeholders in undergraduate education at the levels of faculty, departments, institutions, professional organizations, and funding agencies. Its recommendations are rooted in evidence-based best practices to support the success of diverse and heterogeneous undergraduate demographics and are designed to be highly adaptable to the existing strengths and needs of individual practitioners, student populations, and institutions. We acknowledge the ever-evolving nature of best practices in undergraduate education and hope that the dissemination of this declaration will play a role in this iterative process.
