PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 6-Oct-2014 Contact: Joe Miksch jmiksch@pitt.edu 412-624-4356 University of Pittsburgh PITTSBURGHMath is increasingly important to understanding and investigating the world of biology because quantitative biology, computational biology, and computer-based modeling approaches have emerged as important modes of inquiry. But, says the University of Pittsburgh's Samuel Donovan, teaching methods haven't always kept pace with developments in the field. In order to help bridge the divide and make sure that undergraduate students nationwide are prepared to engage with modern biology, Donovan and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and The College of William and Mary were recently awarded a $2.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation to establish the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis (QUBES) project. "Faculty development is key to improving undergraduate biology education," says Donovan, a principal investigator on the grant and a biology lecturer in Pitt's Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. "Biology is very dynamic right now, and faculty who earned their PhDs ten years ago are likely to teach new techniques with which they don't have direct experience. Adding to this challenge is the fact that there are diverse types of undergraduate institutions and an uneven distribution of expertise in quantitative … Continue reading →

Cebu Daily News Endangered Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis) also known as Siloy. CDN/TONEE DESPOJO CEBU CITYThree former biology students and their professors in Cebu City were charged with violation of the law on wildlife protection for cutting up eight Black Shama birds for a research project to find out what they eat. The birds, locally known as Siloys, are endemic or native to Cebu, and found in dwindling forest patches. The Black Shama is an endangered species and should not have been killed, said the criminal complaint filed by the Protected Area and Wildlife Division (PAWD) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 7. The college students, who had a permit from the DENR 7, said they thought they already had the agencys go-signal to dissect the birds to study their diet. The birds were caught in protected forests of Tabunan in Cebu City and southern towns of Alcoy and Argao. Their thesis Gut content composition of Cebu Black Shama was submitted to the biology department of Cebu Normal University as a thesis requirement for their graduation last March 2014. But the PAWD said the gratuitious permit issued in January 15, 2014 for the conduct of … Continue reading →
