Zines used in classrooms to tackle genetics misconceptions

Original: How zines helped my students challenge genetics misconceptions

An educator writing for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology describes having students make zines as a way to confront common genetics misconceptions. By researching and illustrating concepts themselves, students actively unpacked flawed ideas about heredity, turning creative expression into a science teaching tool. The piece highlights hands-on, student-led approaches as an effective alternative to standard lecture formats in biology education.

Why now: Educators are interested in creative, hands-on methods for correcting persistent misconceptions in genetics teaching.
