Teaching as if Learning Matters
Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in
any institution of higher education. Yet how is that skill actually
acquired by graduate students? Teaching as if Learning
Matters collects first-person narratives from graduate
students and new PhDs that explore how the skills required to teach
at a college level are developed. It examines the key issues that
graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in
fact they are still learning and being taught. Featuring
contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of
disciplines at Indiana University, Teaching as if Learning
Matters allows these students to explore this topic from their
own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching
to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes
and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time
in higher education.

Perspectives on Biomarker and Surrogate Endpoint Evaluation
In 2010 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended a framework for the evaluation of biomarkers in the chronic disease setting. Published in the book Evaluation of Biomarkers and Surrogate Endpoints in Chronic Disease , the framework is intended to bring consistency and transparency to the previously disparate process of biomarker evaluation.
Following the book's release, the IOM convened a 2-day discussion forum in Washington, DC, in order to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about, react to, and discuss the book. Presentations reviewed the authoring committee's work process, recommendations, and provided perspectives on the book from the point of view of participants. Thomas Fleming, professor of biostatistics and statistics at the University of Washington, gave a keynote presentation on the critical issues in the validation of surrogate endpoints, a specific use of a biomarker.
The present volume recounts the discussion forum proceedings, focusing in turn on each represented sector. A summary of Dr. Fleming's presentation then sets the committee's recommendations within the context of biomarker utilization. Lastly, this summary examines the main themes raised by stakeholders, and the challenges and opportunities presented to stakeholders by the book's recommendations.
