Human Life vs. Science

Life Science

neuromuscular action units, temperature regulation, metabolism, and nutrition. Chapters 9 to 14 are largely concerned with reactions of the organism as a whole, but with emphasis restricted to objective behavior, as indicated by such titles as visual fatigue studies, hours and conditions of work, drug action, gross neuromuscular organization, sleep, training, acclimatization, and tolerance. The...

Sports Science vs “Boutique Medicine”

T he practice of sports medicine in 2011 is fascinating. The advancement of disciplines like tissue engineering has expanded our armamentarium tremendously. Along with the typical orthopaedic toolbox of metal plates, rods, methylmethacrylate, and polyethylene comes synthetic membranes, biologic scaffolds, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and stem cell treatments. To some extent, we can already biolo...

Human–Automation Interaction Strategies and Models for Life Science Applications

The objective of this research was to identify current and future approaches to the design of automated systems for life science processes, including humans in control loops, in applications such as high-throughput compound screening and high-performance analytical chemistry. The identified approaches were classified according to existing theories of human-centered automation, which provided a ...

Life in Science

my love for experimental biology has grown over the years. my father was a ymca secretary who ran the y’s summer camp, camp wakonda. it was on the miami and erie canal, which at the time was wild and was reminiscent of going back to nature. at camp, Dad taught me to love nature’s world, which is why i became an experimental biologist. while i studied at piqua high School, i worked on Saturdays ...
