After that long turkey-induced sleep, heres to some good science. This weeks picks includes an emotional piece about a dad, synthetic biology as the sci-fi extension of genetic engineering, astronomy in China and much much more (including one Thanksgiving-themed post).
Dig in!
Science is more than lab work and journals but we tend to forget this sometimes. Pete Etchells in his SciLogs.com blog, Counterbalanced, pens a wonderful wonderful piece about his father, who has been his inspiration to pursue a career in research. Petes blog post is moving and is a must-read because it showcases another aspect of science: humanity.
Why I hate neurons So why did my Dad also inspire an irrational hatred of neurons? Because fourteen years ago today, on a freezing, dark, miserable day in November, my Dad died, two years after being diagnosed with a form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) called Progressive Muscular Atrophy.
In BuzzFeed this week, Allison McCann has a delightful feature about synthetic biology which she describes as the science fiction-like branch of genetic engineering. Allison goes on to give a good account of the field and the challenges synthetic biologists face as they go all mad scientists on us.
How To Code A Life Synthetic biology the science fiction-like branch of genetic engineering hopes to automate programs used to engineer organisms that could produce better drugs and cleaner fuels. But can open-source science really succeed? Synthetic biologists write code. But when their code is compiled, it doesnt become an app. It becomes, or at least changes, life.
Nadia Drake explores Chinas ambitions in the field of astronomy while on a visit to the country. Writing in the December issue of Science News, Nadia dwells a little bit into Chinas impressive beginnings in the field and how it suddenly all went bad. Now, China is playing catch up but with proper backing, it looks set to push the frontiers of astronomy even further relatively soon. An exceptional #longread.
Onward and Skyward High in Beijings sky, the August sun glows red by midafternoon, a star struggling to illuminate Chinas crowded capital from above the dust and pollution. Im in the city along with 3,200 astronomers for the International Astronomical Unions two-week General Assembly meeting. Its the first time the IAU has convened the assembly in China, an important milestone for a country attempting to reclaim its former astronomical significance.
Jon Tennant (interviewed this week on this blog), blogging in his European Geosciences Union blog, Green Tea and Velociraptor, has an excellent post about geoscience in the news. Jon dissects a recent paper which not only points out the negatives of the medias portrayal of geoscience but also suggests future actions that can be both journalists and researchers.

Washington, November 23 (ANI): Using cutting-edge molecular biology and electron-microscopy techniques, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shed light on how flu viruses replicate within infected cells.
The images generated in the study show flu virus proteins in the act of self-replication, highlighting the virus's vulnerabilities that are sure to be of interest to drug developers.
The report focuses on influenza's ribonucleoprotein (RNP). RNPs contain the virus's genetic material plus the special enzyme that the virus needs to make copies of itself.
"Structural studies in this area had stalled because of the technical obstacles involved, and so this is a welcome advance," said Ian A. Wilson, the Hansen Professor of Structural Biology at TSRI and senior author of the report with TSRI Professors of Cell Biology Bridget Carragher and Clint Potter.
"The data from this study give us a much clearer picture of the flu virus replication machinery," he stated.
At the core of any influenza virus lie eight RNPs, tiny molecular machines that are vital to the virus's ability to survive and spread in its hosts. Each RNP contains a segment-usually a single protein-coding gene-of the RNA-based viral genome. This viral RNA segment is coated with protective viral nucleoproteins and has a structure that resembles a twisted loop of chain.
The free ends of this twisted loop are held by a flu-virus polymerase enzyme, which handles the two central tasks of viral reproduction, making new viral genomic RNA, and making the RNA gene-transcripts that will become new viral proteins.
Aside from its importance in ordinary infections, the flu polymerase contains some of the key "species barriers" that keep, for example, avian flu viruses from infecting mammals. Mutations at key points on the enzyme have enabled the virus to infect new species in the past. Thus researchers are eager to know the precise details of how the flu polymerase and the rest of the RNP interact.
Getting those details has been a real challenge. One reason is that flu RNPs are complex assemblies that are hard to produce efficiently in the lab.
Until now, the only flu RNPs that have been reproduced in the laboratory are shortened versions whose structures aren't quite the same as those of native flu RNPs. Researchers also are limited in how much virus they can use for such studies.

Elusive replication machinery of flu viruses revealed

Students in ninth- and 10th-grade biology classes at Wickliffe High School are getting a taste of a flipped classroom.
While the idea is still new, seven-year teacher Marlana Mucciarone has started to introduce lecture videos for her students to watch at home, allowing her more time for individualized instruction during class.
Subject mastery is important for each student to gain, Mucciarone said, noting that with traditional education, oftentimes students advance to the next subject in a class before they are truly ready.
The idea of moving some of the lecture to the home provides time for Mucciarone to work with students individually and help those who may be falling behind, without holding back students who are advancing.
She has done a good deal of research online, learning from other teachers who have already successfully flipped their classrooms, she said.
For now, Mucciarone is still teaching a traditional classroom and adding the video lectures online for students to watch at home. She said she hopes to implement a more solid program next year.
"It frees up more classroom time to focus on their strengths and weaknesses instead of yapping at them all day long with just pounding information down their throats," she said. "(It allows you) to have differentiated instruction within a classroom of 25 to 30 different learners and be able to meet all of their needs instead of shooting for the middle."
Student feedback has been positive so far.
Mucciarone's ninth-grade honors biology class has expressed interest in watching the videos, some multiple times, she said.

Wickliffe High School biology teacher working toward flipped classroom
Kai Jensen has a fascination with viruses and bacteria. Rotavirus, his favorite, causes severe diarrhea.
The 5-year-old's love of everything abhorrent came to life Saturday at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's featured Grossology exhibit.
Jensen, of Portland, climbed a zit-filled human skin wall, created fart noises, walked through a giant nose and slid his way through a 3-D model of the digestive system as he discovered the foul yet scientific happenings inside the human body.
Based on the children's book "Grossology" by Sylvia Branzei, the exhibit uses animatronics -- animated robots -- to explain runny noses, poop, body odor and other functions.
Museum senior educator Kristi Falkowski said the exhibit, being visited by several thousand visitors through Thanksgiving weekend, appeals most to children, especially because of its interactive features.
"It is using the gross things that our bodies do to teach more about general human biology; how our bodies work and why," she said. "It allows parents to talk to kids about uncomfortable subject matter."
But Jensen's dad Brett, a physician, said he enjoyed the educational adventure just as much as his son.
"You can totally see how an adult would gain as much from this experience as a kid," he said.
Heather Young, 42, is one such adult. Young, who came with five of her children and their friends, said the exhibit was hilarious and informative.
"The thing that made us laugh the most was the machine that makes vomit," she said. "Watching the kids smelling the different smells was hilarious, too."
