In this episode, coauthors Eann Malabanan, Owen P. McGuinness, and Kendra H. Oliver dive into their recently published paper, "Leveraging Digital Assets: Lessons from a 14-Year-Old Isotope Tracer Course for Professional Scientists." They explore how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped scientific training programs, forcing many to pivot to virtual formats due to social distancing and travel restrictions. With a focus on the Isotope Tracers in Metabolic Research course—a long-running training program for scientists—they discuss how the integration of digital assets not only helped maintain engagement during the pandemic but also enhanced post-pandemic in-person training. By reviewing survey data from both virtual and in-person formats, they reveal the surprising value of digital elements in fostering better understanding and engagement, even in well-established programs. Tune in to learn how digital strategies can support diverse learning needs and improve professional development for scientists across the globe.
