The journal "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education" (BAMBEd) is the official education journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), of which the American Society of BMB (ASBMB) is a member. This journal is rich with lesson plans for wet and computational biochemistry student lab experiments, book reviews, opinion, history, ethics, and problem-based active learning pedagogy. There are also songs and poetry (some with mnemonics). At its website, http://bambed.org, you will now find all issues from July 2000 through December 2006 online and searchable, free. (Access to the current two years requires a subscription.)
