Taking Advantage of the Teachable Moment: A Review of Learner-Centered Clinical Teaching Models

When working in a chaotic Emergency Department (ED) with competing priorities, clinical teaching may be sacrificed for the sake of patient flow and throughput. An organized, efficient approach to clinical teaching helps focus teaching on what the learner needs at that moment, incorporates regular feedback, keeps the department on track, and prevents over-teaching. Effective clinical teaching in...

Molecules on a string

Over recent decades, atomic and molecular physics has blossomed, with much of the work springing from new techniques to translationally manipulate—especially to slow and trap—gaseous atoms and molecules. The ensuing study of slow (cold) atoms and molecules has led researchers into uncharted territories—not just of atomic and molecular physics, but of physics and even chemistry at large. Achievi...

Seize the neuroscience moment.

COVER Fiber pathways of a female human brain mapped noninvasively with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. The image shows an axial view from above (front is at top). Major pathways of the human frontal lobes, and their organization as orthogonal grids, are shown here (cerebral association pathways, vertical; transverse pathways, horizontal). For a description of cortical networks, see the sp...

The OptAIDS project: towards global halting of HIV/AIDS

Introduction We face a unique, transitory opportunity in the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, because we have collectively pooled money faster than the epidemic has grown [1]. Can we then seize the moment and halt this epidemic now? Most scenarios for the future of HIV/AIDS project modest reductions spread out over decades [2]. The very timescale of such projections, beyond the persistence tim...
