Laboratorio virtual para la investigación y la docencia con JoVE

This video is a recorded workshop from the Faculty of Sciences at UNAM, presented by Dr. Mikaela Pulzatto, a JoVE representative for Brazil, Mexico, and Central America. The session aims to introduce the JoVE platform to students, teachers, and librarians, highlighting its use as a virtual laboratory for both teaching and research. Dr. Pulzatto explains how to access JoVE through the UNAM library or by creating an individual account, emphasizing the unlimited subscription that provides access to over 25,000 scientific videos. She details the two main sections of JoVE: the research section, which contains peer-reviewed articles with video protocols, and the education section, which includes animated concept videos (JoVE Core), laboratory technique videos (Science Education), and lab manuals. She demonstrates examples from each collection, such as a video on mRNA processing and a lab safety video, and explains how these resources can be used to enhance teaching and research. The presentation also covers the JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments for advanced techniques and mentions the availability of playlists for organizing content. The workshop concludes with a Q&A session, where she addresses questions about access, language options, and potential uses in courses.
