TL;DW: Creating Information Literacy Instruction Students will Watch from Start to Finish

In 2018 the University of Central Florida Instruction Librarians developed a new series of webinars to help students develop the information literacy skills they need to succeed but may not be explicitly taught in the classroom. Known as Research Tips Tuesdays once a month a 40-minute webinar was hosted. This resulted in LOTS of interest…and little follow through. How could we offer this content in a way that met our students’ where they are AND the bandwidth they have to devote to informal learning? Fall of 2020 brought new approaches to library instruction across the board, and especially to the Research Tips Tuesday series. First, we moved the content to a new day, thus becoming the Research Tips Thursday series. Then, instead of monthly webinars, skills were broken down into digestible videos of 2 minutes or less that could be shared across a variety of platforms and incorporated into course content through learning management systems. This session will explore: Breaking down information literacy concepts into concrete skills Developing a holistic program over 15 weeks of videos Best practices for creating and distributing short instruction videos

Multi-ethnic genome-wide association study for atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects more than 33 million individuals worldwide and has a complex heritability. We conducted the largest meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for AF to date, consisting of more than half a million individuals, including 65,446 with AF. In total, we identified 97 loci significantly associated with AF, including 67 that were novel in a combined-ancestry analysis, and 3 that were novel in a European-specific analysis. We sought to identify AF-associated genes at the GWAS loci by performing RNA-sequencing and expression quantitative trait locus analyses in 101 left atrial samples, the most relevant tissue for AF. We also performed transcriptome-wide analyses that identified 57 AF-associated genes, 42 of which overlap with GWAS loci. The identified loci implicate genes enriched within cardiac developmental, electrophysiological, contractile and structural pathways. These results extend our understanding of the biological pathways underlying AF and may facilitate the development of therapeutics for AF
