Abstract

The gap that persists between research and practice has been highlighted by nurse practitioners. In South Africa the research-practice gap is maximized by the lack of research facilities and research utilization projects in nursing education programmes. This paper considers conceptual, empirical and pragmatic issues in an attempt to explore the complexity of the influences that may affect the integration of research into nursing practice. Issues involved in a process of transferring research-based knowledge into innovative protocols for nursing practice are also dealt with.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
