Science for our National Parks' second century: a view from the top

Cancer nursing: weaving the tapestry for our second century.

It is an honour and a privilege to have been invited to give the closing address for your twelfth annual national conference on “Weaving the new tapestry for oncology nurses: Our future is now.” I am sure each of us has a mental picture of a tapestry. I think of the many beautiful tapestries, truly works of art, in museums around the world, tapestries of heavy cloth woven with rich, varicolored...

Organizing from the Middle Out: Citizen Science in the National Parks

This poster presents initial findings from a dissertation pilot study on a citizen science project involving the public with scientists in collaborative research. The goal for the pilot study was familiarity with the contextual factors that influence citizen science project design, and in turn, observing how the design choices contribute to the project’s knowledge creation and participation out...

Evolution: A View from the 21st Century

Evolution: A View from the 21st Century, written by an eminent microbiologist–bacterial molecular geneticist, is an ambitious book. It has something novel and highly interesting to say about evolution and it deserves to be widely read. Nevertheless, I have found doing this review a difficult exercise. In the interest of ''full disclosure,'' I should say that the author, Jim Shapiro, is a friend...

Extra Dimensions: A View from the Top

In models with compact extra dimensions, where the Standard Model fields are confined to a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane, the tt̄ production cross-section at a hadron collider can receive significant contributions from multiple exchange of KK modes of the graviton. These are carefully computed in the well-known ADD and RS scenarios, taking the energy dependence of the sum over graviton propagators ...
