Science Should Be a Story: Tyler DeWitt at TEDxBeaconStreet – Video


Science Should Be a Story: Tyler DeWitt at TEDxBeaconStreet
When new friends tell Tyler DeWitt that they hated science classes in school, he doesn #39;t blame them. In this video, Tyler discusses how modern science education has taken a fascinating subject filled with riveting stories, colorful characters, and spectacular demonstrations, and has eviscerated it of its joy, excitement, and intellectual engagement. Science communication should be a narrative, he argues, that draws on analogies, metaphors, humor, and emotional connection. Tyler puts these ideas into action by telling a fun, intriguing story that explains the complex means by which viruses attack their targets. He urges fellow scientists to dispense with jargon, seriousness, and tyrannical technical precision, and to focus on communicating their main ideas through appealing narratives. Tyler DeWitt has taught high school Biology, Chemistry, and English in independent schools in the United States and South Korea, and he has worked as a project manager to develop new K12 science curriculum for the state of Florida. Tyler is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Microbiology at MIT. He has served as a fellow with the Education Foundation of America #39;s Teaching for Experience program, and at MIT he is a National Science Foundation Fellow and a Graduate Resident Tutor. In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep ...

New device traps particulates, kills airborne pathogens

Public release date: 31-Jan-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Jim Sliwa jsliwa@asmusa.org 202-942-9297 American Society for Microbiology

A new device called a soft x-ray electrostatic precipitator protected immunocompromised mice from airborne pathogenic bacteria, viruses, ultrafine particles, and allergens, according to a paper published online ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. This device, known for short as a SXC ESP, is highly versatile, with multiple potential uses, and Washington University is working on licensing the technology.

"Small particles are difficult to remove, and our device overcomes that barrier," says Pratim Biswas of Washington University, St. Louis. The device not only captures particles with a high level of efficiency that has never before been achieved; it also inactivates them. Even bioterror agents are blocked and completely inactivated, says Biswas.

The range of potential uses includes indoor protection of susceptible populations, such as people with respiratory illness or inhalation-induced allergies, and young children; protection of buildings from bio-terror attack; protection of individuals in hospital surgical theaters, for example, during open organ surgery; protection in clean rooms for semiconductor fabrication; removal of ultrafine particles in power plants; and capture of diesel exhaust particulates, says Biswas.

The device could be used in homes, with a cost similar to that of high efficiency air cleaners, says Biswas. "But it would be much easier to operate, and much more effective," he adds. It could be added into stand-alone indoor air cleaners, or incorporated into HVAC systems in homes, offices, and even in aircraft cabins. In the study, the device exceeded standards for high efficiency articulate air filters, which must be capable of removing particles larger than 0.3 micrometers with 99.97 percent efficiency.

The SXC ESP works by placing a charge on the particles"which it does very effectively," says Biswasand then using an electrical field to trap the particles. The SXC unit then also completely inactivates biological particles, by irradiating them, and photoionizing themas UV light does, only more energetically.

A copy of the manuscript can be found online at http://bit.ly/asmtip0113d. Formal publication of the paper is scheduled for the second February 2013 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology.

“What Matters to Me and Why” – A Discussion with Professor Hung Fan – Video


"What Matters to Me and Why" - A Discussion with Professor Hung Fan
Our "What Matters to Me and Why" series of informal discussions with respected members of our faculty continues to build momentum. Our premiere conversations with University Professor Francisco J. Ayala and physics Professor Clare Yu have generated favorable reviews from students, faculty and staff. For those who attended, thank you for your participation and feedback. We #39;re heartened by your enthusiastic response. For those who could not attend, videos of the past talks can be viewed here. "What Matters to Me and Why" encourages reflection about values, beliefs and motivations in the lives of those who shape our university. We will explore personal journeys -- choices made, difficulties encountered, commitments grasped and joys revealed -- with the hope that these stories will strengthen our bonds and fortify the virtues that make UC Irvine a great institution. The series continues Jan. 16 with Hung Fan, professor of virology and molecular biology in the School of Biological Sciences, and director of the Cancer Research Institute. Professor Fan investigates retroviruses to understand how they replicate and cause cancer. His work has appeared in numerous publications, and he is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Microbiology. The series continues each month, except for December and June, throughout the academic year. Please check the website or posters on campus for future speakers. We encourage you to ...
