Battling time restrictions with collective discourse: collaborative quizzes in a condensed human anatomy course.

Background: Undergraduate medical education is currently undergoing a remarkable period of transformation. The exponential growth of medical knowledge, accompanied by societal changes and expectations for the upcoming generation of physicians, is placing immense pressure on academic institutions to reform their curricula, particularly foundational courses such as human anatomy. Consequently, instructors are grappling with the challenge of striking a balance between a new curriculum and maintaining the time-honored benchmarks of medical education.

Unusual dynamics of tetrahedral liquids caused by the competition between dynamic heterogeneity and structural heterogeneity.

Tetrahedral liquids exhibit intriguing thermodynamic and transport properties because of the various ways tetrahedra can be packed and connected. Recently, an unusual temperature dependence of the stretching exponent β in a model tetrahedral liquid ZnCl2 from Tm + 85 K to Tm + 35 K has been reported using neutron-spin echo spectroscopy. This discovery stands in sharp contrast to other glass-forming liquids.
