Many biology students eventually pursue careers in the health sciences. To create explicit links between introductory biology content and the health sciences, we implemented Context Breaks—a series of seven mini-lectures linking course content to lactase persistence/nonpersistence. Context Breaks were implemented over the course of a semester in a punctuated case-study format and received positive feedback from students. They most highly associated them with deeper learning of material.
