Undergraduate educational settings struggle to provide biologically or medically relevant situations and problems that simultaneously improve students' understanding of physics. Exercises developed in an elective physics course for life sciences or pre–health majors at Portland State University are aimed at teaching fundamental physics concepts within the context of biomedical devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
