Biology center deals out protection for Durham residents, the environment – The Daily Tar Heel

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

Paige Colpo | Published 16 hours ago The Center for Biological Diversity sent the city of Durham 40,000 condoms for Valentine's Day in an effort to raise awareness for wildlife conservation. Durham was named one of the U.S.'s most "sex-crazed" cities. Photo courtesy of the Center for Biological Diversity. The Center for Biological Diversity sent Durham and nine other cities 40,000 endangered species condoms in honor of Valentines Day. Wrapped in colorful cartoon packages featuring six different endangered species, the condoms were sent to the top ten most sex-happy cities in America, as named by Mens Health magazine. Durham volunteers distributed them to the general public. The projects organizers aimed to use the condoms to help raise awareness about the environmental dangers of unchecked population growth. Lots of couples will get lucky this Valentines Day, but wildlife and the environment will be far less fortunate in our increasingly crowded world, said Leigh Moyer, the centers population organizer, in a press release.The habitat loss, resource depletion and climate change that come with rapid human population growth make it next to impossible for biodiversity to thrive. Moyer said it is important to incorporate population growth into environmental conversations. Endangered Species Condoms make … Continue reading →

Ryan T. Anderson: Biology Isn’t Bigotry: Why Sex Matters in the Age … – Patriot Post

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

The Right Opinion As gender identity ordinances and bathroom battles sweep the nation, ordinary Americans have had to confront the question of whether their long-standing beliefs about the sexes are based on biology or bigotry. While the debate has polarized many, it has also served to unite exceptionally unlikely allies. In something of an historical first, self-professed radical feminists and conservative women are tabling their ideological differences and standing in solidarity against gender identity legislation, which they have come to recognize as threatening the civil rights of women. The Hands Across the Aisle Coalition is a bi-partisan group of women who have committed to working together and leveraging their collective resources and platforms to oppose aspects of the transgender movement. The following is the transcript of my introduction at an event I hosted at the Heritage in which five of the coalitions leaders offer a perspective the mainstream media too often ignores on this very important issue. I also encourage you watch the entirety of the event posted in the video below. Thank you, John, and thank you everyone for joining us today for what promises to be an informative and enlightening conversation from voices the mainstream media has ignored. … Continue reading →

SSSI’s Biology Team aims to synthesize DNA in space – The Stanford Daily

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

Stanford Student Space Initiatives new Biology Team is creating a DNA synthesizer for outer space (Courtesy of Richard Fuisz). The science fiction-esque concept of making DNA in outer space may soon become a reality, thanks to Stanford Student Space Initiative (SSSI)s new Biology Team. The small, recently-founded subgroup within SSSI is pushing the frontiers of biological engineering by constructing a space-ready DNA synthesizer that may launch into orbit within a year. SSSI was founded in 2013 to foster student-driven innovation focused on outer space. It has since gained national and international recognition for its projects, which include a zero-gravity experiment run with NASA and record-breaking high-altitude balloon technology. SSSI is Stanfords largest project-based student group, according to the organizationswebsite. The Biology Team began last September as SSSIs sixth official team. At the groups first few meetings in fall quarter, new members most of whom were freshmen learned about DNA and basic lab skills. Less than six months later, the students have nearly finished building the individual components of the DNA synthesizer. According to Biology Team Co-Lead Alan Tomusiak 19, the group hopes to have finished the design, tested the product and integrated the separate pieces by the end of spring … Continue reading →

Annual Biology Trip is Led by Dr. Eisenback and Dr. Whitney – The Stampede

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

Biology professors Dr. Brian Eisenback and Dr. Michael Whitney are leading students on the annual Biology trip this year. The trip will be a 14-day tour of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado from May 6 through May 20. The trip is open to everyone, including all majors, alumni and faculty and is a good opportunity for students to travel to places that might not have been otherwise available to them. The annual Biology trip has been a longstanding Milligan tradition since 1972. On the trip, attendees will view both beautiful landscapes and wildlife. The trip was initially hosted by Dr. Lura and Dr. Wallace until a few years ago when they retired. Eisenback and Whitney have taken the reins and will continue the tradition this summer. When asked about the trip Lura said, It is not glamorous living conditions, but it is a heck of a lot of fun. On the trip, students will be visiting national parks, going camping and sleeping in tents and vans. Participants will need to pack for both really, really hot weather and really cold weather. On this journey, students, alumni and faculty will come together and enjoy the splendor of the great outdoors. … Continue reading →

Haley Potter, Rocket Contributor February 15, 2017 A professor of parks and recreation recently co-authored an environmental research paper that discusses struggles with the social sciences and the conservation outcomes. Rebecca Thomas, assistant professor of parks and recreation, co-authored the paper, which was published in Biological Conservation, an international leading journal in the discipline of conservation biology. Thomas has supervised several different faculty research projects, such as a preservation study at Goddard State Park in Pennsylvania. The feature, Conservation Social Science: Understanding and Integrating Human Dimensions to Improve Conservation, talks about 10 examples in which social sciences can be beneficial to the public in hopes to better the commitment to conservation. Conservation biology is a field of practice in which a broad diversity of disciplines are represented in order to achieve the aim of ensuring sustainability of Earths biological diversity, Thomas said. These disciplines include some of the hard science discipline such as physiology, epigenetic, ecology, population genetics and veterinary medicine. Thomas said that Biological Conservation is a leading international journal that reaches a broad audience of conservation scholars and practitioners, which is why she wanted to join it.

'Grey's Anatomy' Star Rips 'The Real O'Neals' For Bisexual Joke – Huffington Post

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

Sara Ramirez, who is bisexual and played a bisexual surgeon on Greys Anatomy, had a bone to pick with The Real ONeals. The actress blasted the sitcom Thursday over a Jan. 17 episode in which a gay character played by Noah Galvin likened bisexuality to having webbed toes or money problems, several outlets noted. The 41-year-old actor, who came out last October, implored network ABC and The Real ONeals on Twitter to own and address the issue and empower LGBTQ youth with accurate positive reflections. Ramirez said shes disappointed in the network for which she worked for 10 years on the doctor drama. She left the show in May. I will invest my brand where Im respected, she wrote. Rodin Eckenroth via Getty Images Galvin and Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, known as PFLAG and which partnered with The Real ONeals on the episode, issued apologieslast month for causing offense, the New York Daily News reported. A PFLAG spokeswoman said that the group blew it for not catching the comment earlier. But in another tweet Ramirez called for a network response. The actress also encouraged followers to sign a change.org petition protesting the show. Link: 'Grey's Anatomy' Star … Continue reading →

Knight on his return to Shondaland, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday, orbuy it here now and subscribe for more exclusive interviews and photos, only in EW. Nearly a decade after T.R. Knight endured a snowballing scandal and a dramatic exit from Greys Anatomy, hes back in the last place youd expect Shondaland. Next month, Knight joins the cast of The Catch as the brother of Mireille Enos Alice Vaughan, landing him back in the land that made him a household name. But what has Knight been up to in the years since he left Greys Anatomy? Below is but a taste of what the actorhas done. Law & Order: SVU (2011) Knight took a dark turn as a set of twins on opposite ends of the spectrum one, a family man, the other, a serial rapist. One of the twins especially creeped the s out of me, frankly, Knight says. Everyone was lovely on the project, but that was yuck, what a horrible person that guy was. That was one [where] you want to have a hot shower afterward and just scrub with bleach. RELATED: Greys Anatomy: Before They Were … Continue reading →

Anatomy of a Cheese Recall – The Atlantic

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2017

These are chaotic times for Americans. The nationwide cheese recall, I mean. (What did you think I was talking about?) Several well-known cheese brandsincluding Sargento, Meijer, Santino, Amish Classics, Country Fresh, and Guggisberghave issued recalls of Colby, pepper jack, shredded taco, and cheddar cheeses among concerns about listeria contamination at a cheese factory in Indiana. No illnesses have yet been reported. Listeriosis, the foodborne illness that the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria causes, is a particular danger for those with weakened immune systems. In pregnant women, listeria can cause premature labor, miscarriages, and stillbirth. Listeria is an especially resilient bacteriaunlike many other germs, it can keep growing in a cool fridge. The danger of an infection is part of why cheese sellers have voluntarily recalled their products in this case. But, as is often the case, the recalls have trickled out over the course of the past week. The timing raises questions about how food safety is handled and discussed among manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and regulatorsand further questions still about how long it takes for consumers to be notified of possible contamination. For cheese eaters, the questions are straightforward: Where did the contaminated cheese come from? And how do I know if … Continue reading →
