Webinar on Embryonic Development

Apr 19, 2018

Dr. Hitesh U Shingadia, Dept. of Zoology, Mithibai College, Mumbai delivered a Webinar on “Early Embryonic Development” for students of B.Sc. in Biotechnology. The purpose of this webinar was to expose students to early embryonic development by making them move and change in a manner similar to what a cell in the embryo might undergo.
 
Dr. Hitesh explained process of Gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage during the process of Early Embryonic Development. It was really encouraging that this webinar provided a way for students to visualize early embryonic development using the large number of students that routinely populate introductory biology classes.
 
This webinar helped the students to understand and visualize early embryonic development in a way that the text and presentation of content during a traditional lecture did not. And not so surprisingly, the majority of the students were still facing forward (enjoying the activity) when given the opportunity to voice their opinion during Phase 3.
