Why is Tracking Students a Problem? (Part 1 in a series)

Wisconsin Science and STEM Education

In observing high school science classes and talking with the teachers, I saw the core materials for freshman biology were a series of packets developed by the teachers. Through further discussion, they let me know that honors biology did not use those same materials.

Can behavioural interventions improve biological health outcomes?

Futurum

Living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods increases stress, limits physical activity and increases sedentary behaviour, which influence biologic CVD risk factors.” This intervention involves teaching nutrition education, physical activities, stress management techniques and coping skills to perimenopausal Latinas.

How can we detect and prevent brain injuries?

Futurum

Called PANTHER, this programme relies on a large interdisciplinary team and uses the latest advances in experimental mechanics and molecular cell biology to study TBIs and to develop new ways of preventing them. This is an area of science that studies the physics of living things, from single cells to whole organisms.

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

Nowadays, it encompasses artificial intelligence (AI), the brain-computer interface, synthetic biology, and even social and ethical analysis. Professor Jeffrey Catchmark and his team at Pennsylvania State University in the US believe they have one such solution, using common plant-based materials to create sustainable food packaging.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

Can we engineer bacteria to regenerate tissues?

Futurum

Over about two billion years, the genomes and biologies of the two prokaryotic species became interdependent and were optimised to live harmoniously together. To achieve this, the team controls the endosymbiont genes using either sugars that mammalian cells do not use, heat produced by lasers, ultrasound or alternating magnetic fields.

Using agrobiology to ensure sustainable food production

Futurum

Published: Dr Valeria Faggioli and Dr Mayra Osorio are working on separate projects under the sustainable food production branch of the CABANA programme, which aims to accelerate the implementation of data-driven biology to overcome a range of environmental challenges in Latin America.
