In the case of teen drivers, education goes a long way. more »

“The production of iPS cells from dermal fibroblasts has generated intense interest in the utility of such cells for research purposes and clinical applications. iPS cell production currently requires the use of transcription factor gene delivery to reprogramme cells into iPS cells. Hence, both gene delivery technology and iPS cell characterization and subsequent cell differentiation are critical aspects of iPS cell biology. This meeting will address both issues” Meeting Chairs: Professor Andrew Baker, University of Glasgow¸Scotland and Dr Chris Denning, University of Nottingham¸UK more »

Educational Card Games
by

on Thu 03 Dec 2009 14:57 GMT
A number of years have passed since the development of the ‘Voyager: Satellites’ educational card game reported in Physics Education in 2003. Since then, a large number of copies of the game have been produced and distributed across the UK, to a warm reception from both pupils and teachers. This article reports on some of the feedback received about the game over the five years of the project and gives some examples of how the game has been incorporated into the school curriculum. The recent development of other science related educational card games that are now available for use in schools is also discussed and it is hoped that this article will give inspiration to others to generate their own educational card games and enjoy some of the positive benefits of ‘playing’ in the classroom. more »

Early registration deadline approaching - The Bacteriophage in Biology, Biotechnology and Medicine
by
sharac
on Tue 27 Oct 2009 06:00 GMT
"Bacteriophages are the most abundant biological entities on earth and are major drivers of bacterial adaptive evolution. Studies on phage biology underpin our core knowledge of modern molecular biology - and phage research has provided many of the techniques and biochemical reagents used by all molecular biologists. This meeting is the third in a successful biennial series discussing the biological nature of bacteriophages, and their exploitation in basic microbiology (for genetics and functional genomics); diagnostics, ecology and evolution, phage display, vaccines, and in therapeutics in animal and human infections. The general structure of the meeting is to have short, expert presentations on this spectrum of topics, plus short Q&A sessions and offered posters. The meeting will be of interest to anyone who is currently using phages in their research work or who might be interested in the potential application of phages for basic biology, and applied topics such as bacterial diagnostics, vaccine development and phage therapy". Meeting chair - Professor George Salmond, University of Cambridge, UK

Furthermore, given the current economic climate, planning a child`s birthday party that is exciting and unique, albeit on a shoe string budget, can prove to be a real headache! There are however, some hints and tips and options, which can help you to cut costs, without looking like a skin flint! more »
