چکیده
Abstract The use of microscope technology has proved to be foundational in the global advancement science and medicine. However, fewer women are entering microscopy as a career. Many factors have been suggested for this decades-old trend, yet intense mentoring female students by successful academia industry may reversing trend. Our team designed STEM curriculum mobile laboratory format test idea that more might show an interest training if they chance operate microscope. dinosaur remains is very high among secondary students, thus we reasoned choosing tissue specimen attract such hands-on labs. Here describe our efforts microscopy-related content using soft from digs specimens during We conducted 33 labs six states across US over 16-month period. Female student participation was 52%. suggest choice (particularly cells, veins, nerves) education provides powerful incentive consider

The Tail that Wags the Dog
Tails are of paramount importance in shaping the risk profile of portfolios with credit risk sensitive securities. In this context risk management tools require simulations that accurately capture the tails, and optimization models that limit tail effects. Ignoring the tails in the simulation or using inadequate optimization metrics can have significant effects and destroy portfolio efficiency....
متن کاملWhen the Tail Wags the Dog: Industry Leaders, Limited Attention, and Spurious Cross-Industry Information Diffusion
Hou (2007) finds that within an industry, the stock returns of larger firms lead those of smaller firms, suggesting an intra-industry information diffusion process. Most industry leaders, however, have business segments in other industries (henceforth, minor-segment industries) while most small firms are pure players operating in one industry only. If cognitive resource-constrained investors tr...
متن کاملTail wags dog: primary cilia and tumorigenesis.
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to many forms of cancer. Primary cilia are Hh signal transduction centers. Two papers in a recent issue of Nature Medicine (Han et al., 2009; Wong et al., 2009) show that mutating cilia can increase or reduce the rates of tumorigenesis depending on how the Hh pathway is disrupted.

were “unknown agents.” For the sake of objectivity, we based our assumption on the aggregate of information for known pathogens rather than on “expert opinion.” Interestingly, however, the Council of Science and Technology’s “expert opinion” of the percentage of diarrheal illness due to foodborne transmission was 35% (1), nearly identical to the figure we developed. As noted in our article, pat...
