Since May of 2010, a concerted effort by the Q4B group has been made to identify fundamental concepts in biology that students often have problems grasping and they often have misconceptions related to this misunderstanding. In this session, we will highlight the progress of this scholarship of teaching and learning work and explore whether what we consider to be biological concepts could also be universal across scientific disciplines.
