Blood carried preserved pathogens like malaria, leschmaiasis. They theorize that by time of asteroid impact 65 mya dinosaurs may have been on their last legs...or gone. pdboyer Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:25:41 GMT http://www.discoverlife.org/ pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://mycontent.discoveryeducation.com/?productcode=US My Content pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://galenet.galegroup.com/servlet/SciRC?sgsl=bi&locID=keno28601&bi=SU&sgos=paternity&sgcmd=REL&bt=%2522Paternity+Testing%2522&c=1&t=1&ste=21&docNum=CV2643510016&sgit=7&st=b&tc=63&sgsditem=6_3_1&tf=0 Proving paternity. Has DNA testing proved that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings? Viewpoint 1: Yes, the genetic and historical evidence strongly suggest that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child with Sally Hemings. Viewpoint 2: No, the DNA testing is inconclusive and, at best, proves only that any of Thomas Jefferson's male relatives could have fathered a child with Sally Hemings. Details Emerge in Print.

On January 18, 2007, we started DnaTube.com to allow a self-growing community to share their scientific experiences and videos. One of the best features of the DnaTube.com, is that it supports other types of scientific works through flash animations, powerpoints, in addition to videos. DnaTube is a non-profit video site which is aiming to be a visual scientific resource for its visitors. As graduate students, we know that it is difficult to understand biological mechanism by reading plain text. And we know that a picture says more than a thousand words. We believe the video-based explanations of biological concepts will remove the barrier in front of the peo... pdboyer Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:37:11 GMT http://www1.umn.edu/ships/db/ We present 17 historical cases studies in a guided inquiry format. We have aimed to address several proposals for reforming science education. Textbooks teach biological content. We want students learn more: about the history and nature of science, about science in practice — about doing biology. pdboyer Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:13:50 GMT http://www.doitpoms.ac.uk/tlplib/batteries/index.php This TLP investigates the basic principles, design and applications of batteries.
