Molecules app picks up where The Elements left off

Posted: Published on November 17th, 2014

The sequel to Theodore Gray's acclaimed chemistry iPad app The Elements leads you into the wonderful world of molecules. Touch Press When it comes to learning about the building blocks of our universe, Theodore Gray's The Elements for iPad is the perfect gateway. It's comprehensive, covering every known element; each of which has its own entry, including applications, detailed properties, and interactive images and videos to explore. It's sort of a must-have for any suite of educational apps, or for anyone with even the vaguest interest in science -- and now it has its very own companion app, picking up where it left off. Theodore Gray has taken The Elements and extended it with the logical next step: Molecules. The iPad app (also available as a physical book, only without all the interactive bits) is, to be fair, a little less comprehensive; after all, when you have some 118 identified chemical elements, the number of combinations is astronomical. "There is no catalog of all the molecules in the universe, and there can't be," Gray explains in the introduction to the app. "There may only be six different chess pieces, but it's out of the question to list all the ways … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on November 17th, 2014

Updated: Monday, Nov. 17 Following revelations that he was formally accused of sexual harassment in 2013, former School of Medicine cardiology chief Michael Simons MED 84 has been removed from his position as director of the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center. Simonss removal from his directorship follows his decision not to return as cardiology chief after allegations that he sexually harassed one of his researchers, Annarita di Lorenzo. Although the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct, after examining the allegations against Simons, recommended that he be permanently removed from his position at the helm of cardiology, Provost Benjamin Polak chose to suspend Simons for 18 months instead. However, he remains a tenured professor at Yale, according to School of Medicine Dean Robert Alpern. According to a Thursday night email addressed to all faculty members of the medical schools cardiology department, authored by Gary Desir who is interim chair of the Department of Internal Medicine Simonss removal is effective immediately. The email said that the removal came as the result of a prior review of his leadership. It did not mention the sexual harassment charges.

Science scores are up for Beaver County area high schools

Posted: Published on November 17th, 2014

Local high school students are seeing more success on state standardized science tests since new assessments were introduced two years ago, a Times analysis shows. Fifteen of the 21 high schools in The Times coverage area saw an increase in the percentage of students passing standardized science tests between 2010-11 and 2013-14. Since the state introduced the biology Keystone Exam in 2011-12, only Ambridge, Beaver, Central Valley, Hopewell and Rochester high schools and Beaver Area Academic charter school saw a decline in the percentage of students passing the tests during that time. That bucks expectations and performance on math and reading tests. Theres so much emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs that its helping prepare students for these science tests, said Melanie Kerber, superintendent at Blackhawk School District, where the high school has seen a 26 percent increase in students passing the exams since the introduction of a new test two years ago. Without question, our emphasis on STEM has helped a great deal. A Times analysis found that a lower percentage of students are passing math and reading tests at all grade levels compared with five years ago. Thats not the case in science, where two-thirds … Continue reading →
