Creating a New Breed of Biology Education Researchers

Creating OA Information for Researchers

Today the problem is not a lack of software or hardware technology. The immediate question is instead how we are going to fill our a...

Integrated Biology and Undergraduate Science Education: A New Biology Education for the Twenty-First Century?

For more than a decade, numerous reports have called for a rethinking and restructuring of high school and undergraduate science education to make it more relevant and accessible to a broader spectrum of students (Handelsman et al., 2006; Hulleman and Harackiewicz, 2009; National Research Council [NRC], 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003a,b,c, 2005, 2008; National Science Foundation [NSF], 1996) and ...

Birth of a new breed of supertaster.

People differ in the intensity of their reported experience of taste but the origins of these differences, whether they generalize to some or all chemosensory stimuli, and the most accurate way to measure them are controversial. In this issue of Chemical Senses, Lim et al. address the question of the general nature of perceived intensity and report that a subject’s response to the bitter chemic...
