Online Science Journals:Nature Genetics>

Nature Genetics publishes research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human traits and on other model organisms, including mouse, fly, nematode and yeast. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.

'Science' Article of the Week 8: Mouse Solves Maze Researchers Spent Months Building

IOWA CITY, IA—University of Iowa neuroscientists studying spatial learning and the effects of stress on memory announced Tuesday that a little son-of-a-bitch mouse ruined an experiment on cognitive performance by effortlessly navigating a maze that researchers spent nearly a year designing and constructing.

Message From Simon 7th April 2008

Dear Friends,

Hope all is well. I'm just writing to let you know that I have taken advantage of the mid-term exam week 'break' to tidy up the blog spot and finally get around to writing up the summaries of each of the 14 lectures/learning sessions we have had so far.

You can find these located under the heading "Lecture Summaries" in the side bar to the left under the heading Blog Elements and in the list of postings for each week that can also be located in the side bar to the left under the heading "Posting by the Week" To make things a little bit easier I've also made a pdf file which has collected all 14 summaries together which can be found at the end of this message.

I've also managed to tidy up [although not edit to any great extent] each of the PowerPoints presentations for each of the lectures and these can be found in new pdf files for each of the lectures which can again be found again under the heading "PowerPoint Presentations" in the side bar to the left under the heading Blog Elements and also under the collection of postings for each week that can also be located in the side bar at the left under the heading Posting by the Week.

Thanks for all of you who have sent me preferred dates for your seminar presentations. I am still waiting for some people to provide theirs. I am also still waiting for some blurbs [bad people!!!] and will start writing some emails if I don;t get them soon. I am hoping that the Abstracts will begin to come in at the end of next week and I'll give you the details of what I want both in class and here on the blog during the course of this week.

The final thing of want to mention is that I will be redoing the photos for the purpose of the seminar series this Thursday so hurry out to your plastic surgeons, hairstylists and make-up artists and make yourself beautiful.

For now, be good and happy, best wishes,

Simon

p.s. the photo is of me aged 1.

'Science' Article of the Week 7: Someone Totally Doing It Somewhere Right Now

CHICAGO—According to a groundbreaking new study published Monday in The Journal Of The American Statistical Association, somewhere on the planet someone is totally doing it at this very moment. Scientists told reporters someone could be doing it right next door. "Of the 6.7 billion inhabitants of Earth, approximately 3.5 billion have reached sexual maturity," said Dr. Jerome Carver, a mathematics professor at the University of Chicago and lead author of the study. "From a statistical perspective, it simply stands to reason that at least two of these inhabitants are totally going at it right now. Like, as we speak."

Science At KAIST: SPRING 2008 Timetable Sign -Up

Sorry for the delay in getting up the timetable options - I've been busy working on a new blog called Daejeon What's On which is an offshoot of KAIST What's On.

As I have mentioned in class, what you need to do is to pick a day from the option below for the Tuesday and Thursday classes in May. There will be three positions for each class each day with Class 1 seminars running from 16:00 to 17:15 and Class 2 seminars running from 17:30 to 18:45.

Please note even if you are not giving a presentaion you will still be required to attend at least one of the seminar session each day. This hopefully will be a good opportunity to see how other people have gone about writing their abstracts and Powerpoint Presentions. It will also of course in addition be a good opportunity to see how people deliver their presentations and to practice asking pertinant, searching and/or witty questions.

I will put up more information about the genres other than the scientific report you might wish to present in the next couple of days so keep checking.

For now just indicate by email the session you are hoping to present in and I'll update the program as emails come in. If you have any questions just leave them in the comments and I'll answer them there.
