Posted: Published on May 2nd, 2017

Tri Countysophomore Kasie Gonzalez, on the shore, holds out a tray for her classmates to put samples from the Tamarack Creek theyve collected on a Thursday field trip to Minnie Farmer Park in Howard City. Daily News/Meghan Nelson HOWARD CITY After spending two hours at the park,Tri County High School sophomores went back to school wet and muddy, but with smiles on their faces. This is what teaching is all about, biology teacher Laura Readle said. Readle accompanied her 85 sophomore biology students to Minnie Farmer Park on Thursday as part of the partnership Tri County Area Schools has with the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly (MRWA). When we wrote the (Great Lakes Restoration Initiative) grant, we wrote is as an explorational learning opportunity for students, said MWRA Project Manager Dixie Ward. We already worked with Laura Readle so we asked when we wrote the grant if they would help, and now theyre following through. SearrahHerendeen, a sophomore at Tri County High School, didnt bother to put waders before exploring Tamarack Creek during a biology field trip to Minnie Farmer Park on Thursday. Two years ago, MRWA received $257,000 in grant funding from the Environmental Protection Agency for the total $440,500 … Continue reading

Around the Pier: The Bioengineering Behind the Beauty – Scripps Oceanography News

Posted: Published on May 2nd, 2017

Marine phytoplankton are famously photogenic. Take, for instance, diatoms. They are among the most common type of phytoplankton and are especially breathtaking: their cell walls are made of silica, a glass-like compound, and take a variety of forms including discs, tubes, and star-like structures. Scientists have long sought to understand the factors that contribute to the diversity of phytoplankton. Presumably all these different shapes have some ecological meaning, said Andrew Barton, an assistant professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Biological Sciences Division at the University of California San Diego. Some shapes might be hard to eat, or maybe are advantageous for acquiring scarce resources. Barton has just received the Simons Foundation Early Career Investigation in Marine Microbial Ecology and Evolution Award, which will support an interdisciplinary research project to attempt to answer this question. The project will use a combination of underwater microscope data from the Scripps Pier Plankton Camera operated by the Jaffe Laboratory for Underwater Imaging, environmental data from the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), and numerical models that simulate plankton communities to understand the ecological reasons for the poorly understood diversity in phytoplankton shapes and sizes. The Scripps Plankton Camera is an underwater … Continue reading

Posted: Published on May 2nd, 2017

In his new book, The Body Builders: Inside the Science of the Engineered Human,author and award-winning journalist Adam Piore says the new frontier that intrigues scientists and engineers today is the human body. He says amazing work and research is underway that melds technology with biology.These innovations can heal devastating injuries or even rewire the brain. Piore tells us about this evolving science through the stories of the people who develop the technology and the people who are transformed by it. Piore recently sat down with All Things Considered Host Bill Buchner. Below is a transcript of their conversation. You are a journalist by profession, a foreign correspondent at one point.So how did you come to write this book? I covered a lot of things, I covered Congress, I lived in Cambodia, and I went to Iraq, but one of the things that has always intrigued me in my journalism is stories of human resilience.Its always fascinated me how people overcome adversity and are able to live with setbacks. So a few years ago I came across the story of an incredible scientist named Hugh Herr.And his story so fascinated me that I sort of followed along that path and … Continue reading

Rising Pune Supergiant v Gujarat Lions, IPL 2017, Pune May 1, 2017 Rising Pune Supergiant were 10 for 3 in their chase of 162, and then 42 for 4, but nothing, not even a prolonged bout of cramps, was going to stop Ben Stokes Star turn Ever since the last World T20 final, when he was hit for four sixes in the final over of the chase, Ben Stokes has been the subject of some ridicule, especially when sold for a record sum in the IPL auction. Two days before he goes back to his house of horrors, Eden Gardens, Ben Stokes produced one of the great Twenty20 innings. And he did so while hobbling with a cramp in his calf in the last three overs of the chase. Nothing can wipe off what happened in Kolkata last year, but Stokes has done enough in this IPL season to quell those doubts around him. Coming into this match, Stokes had won two match awards but both for bowling. He had scored only 127 from seven innings before this, but in Pune, coming in to bat in the second over, at the fall of the third wicket. he scored 63% of … Continue reading
