| # Background | ||
|
|
||
| One critical aspect of an undergraduate STEM education is hands-on research. Undergraduate research experiences enhance what students learn in the classroom as well as increase a student's interest in pursuing STEM careers ^1. It can also lead to improved scientific reasoning and increased academic performance overall ^2. However, many students at underresourced institutions like community colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities, and Hispanic-serving institutions have limited access to research opportunities compared to their cohorts at larger four-year colleges and R1 institutions. These students are also more likely to belong to groups that are already under-represented in STEM disciplines, particularly genomics and data science ^3 ^4. |

Citations should be like [@ref] and should be flushed out in the accompanying book.bib file. See recent example here: https://github.com/fhdsl/AI_for_Decision_Makers/blob/main/01c-AI_Possibilities-how_ai_works.Rmd

Bah. I forgot this isn't just a .md file. Thanks!

| ## Soil sampling | ||
|
|
||
| Soil sampling for this project was done by both faculty and student volunteers from schools that aren't traditional R1 research institutions. Many of the faculty are also members of the GDSCN. |

Could add some reference to the R1, etc tier system. I think there's a ref in the GDSCN Genome Research paper that could help!

Could we embed the map from the gdscn website?? 😄

Ooo, I love this idea, although this is the list of everyone who has said they will sample and has gotten a kit, not everyone who has submitted metadata, so there are places on this list that have not yet been collected. I can remove those places without sample metadata to make it cleaner

I'm guessing we'll clean some of this up :)

Yup! That is strictly there are a placeholder. I will clean it up when I find out what exactly we can have them do for data exploration (:

Yeah, this is really just a placeholder for now.

Yes, please! I would LOVE if you can help with the theming, Google analytics, feedback, and everything else I'm forgetting about. I thought I'd made the necessary changes to get the GDSCN theming (I changed the index.Rmd) but I am clearly forgetting a step! |
This PR creates the basic format for the guide and also adds a general intro to the BioDIGS project.
