LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has received a $2.3 million grant to transform the way life sciences are taught.

The grant will help the university bring together life science teachers and computational biologists to develop a new approach to the subject.

The proposal was developed in response to a report by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The report stressed the importance of incorporating computer simulations and other teaching techniques into biology education for undergraduate college students.
