This interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

This interactive module explores the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, replication cycles, and vaccine availability.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

Several questions are embedded within the short film The Day the Mesozoic Died, which tells the story of the scientific quest to explain one of the greatest, long-standing scientific mysteries: the sudden disappearance of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period.

This interactive module explores the circulatory systems of major vertebrate groups to gain insights into their evolution.

This interactive module explores the phases, checkpoints, and protein regulators of the cell cycle. The module also shows how mutations in genes that encode cell cycle regulators can lead to the development of cancer.

This model shows the structure of dengue virus, which causes dengue fever.

This model shows the structure of Nodamura virus, a type of nodavirus.

This model shows the structure of rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.

This interactive module explores how scientists use the scientific process to learn about the distant past of humans.

This tutorial introduces students to vector-borne disease with a focus on dengue fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Students also learn about strategies designed to stop the spread of disease by interfering with the mosquito life cycle.
