Cross-campus center for bioscience students being developed

Nov. 13, 2012

The Institute for Biology Education and Steenbock Library have launched a joint Educational Innovation project to create a biology community and learning center for bioscience students across campus.

Branchaw

Organizers say the center will be a welcoming home base where students can connect with each other, as well as a central gateway to the biosciences where they can find information, get engaged in high-impact learning experiences, access support services, and integrate their experiences into a meaningful whole. It will offer programming and services to all bioscience students, including specialized programming to meet the needs of first-year, first-generation, and underrepresented minority students.

The physical location of the center will be Steenbock Library. There will also be an online presence, both for information and community building. Steenbock is a terrific partner for community building, says Institute for Biology Education Interim Director Janet Branchaw. Not only do they have wonderful facilities, but they also share our cross-campus vision and our student-centered approach. We both want to bring people together and make information and opportunities more accessible.

Preliminary plans for the community and learning center emerged from a series of conversations involving people from across the university, focused on connecting bioscience students with beyond-the-classroom learning experiences like leadership, public service, research and international study. With the basic framework now outlined, broader input is being sought to move the project into its next phase.

Two town hall meetings have been scheduled to gather feedback from the UWMadison community. They will be Monday, Nov. 19, from 1-2:30 p.m. in Room 260 of Bascom Hall; and Tuesday, Dec. 11 from noon-1:30 p.m. at Steenbock Library.

An RSVP is recommended, but not required, by emailing Amy Bethel.

The center is envisioned as an endeavor that will benefit everyone involved. Steenbock Library Interim Director Lisa Wettleson is excited about how the project will enhance the librarys ability to serve students into the future. We are delighted to join the growing number of UWMadison libraries that are partnering to create innovative learning spaces like this in response to student needs in a world of rapid change.

Troy James Productions LYRICS REFRAIN Mitosis, splitting of cells. IPMAT, cytokinesis, in a nutshell. The larger the cell, the more the waste. That is why, they divide with haste. Mitosis, splitting of cells. IPMAT, cytokinesis, in a nutshell. Dude I #39;m here to drop this Bio rap. I #39;m talking about cells, not that other crap. INTERPHASE The I in IPMAT stands for interphase. This is where it grows, but it ain #39;t no phase. The steps are G1, S, and G2. This is cell growth, which forms into you. Grows once, replicates DNA, grows again. Transforms our bodies from boys to men. Sets up mitosis which is when a cell divides. 2 new cells are formed from the inside. REFRAIN MITOSIS The next steps of cell division are PMAT. These steps are a part of Mitosis, creatively. The first step is prophase which is the big P. The chromatin condense into chromosomes quickly. The nuclear envelope and the nucleolus hide. Spindle fibers form and the centrioles split side to side. The next part of mitosis is metaphase. This step is very short, and shouldn #39;t take days. The chromosomes just meet in the middle. It is way more simple than playing the fiddle. The 3rd step, anaphase, is the start of the end. The chromosomes move apart and de-friend. Telephase is the last step of Mitosis. The cells are no longer together in closeness. The chromosomes which were distinct and condensed. Begin to disperse into a cluster that is dense. Each cluster of chromosomes and the nuclear envelope re-form. The spindle ...From:James GollonViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:53More inPeople Blogs

Reproductive biology : Fertile mind

Sam Ogden

Jonathan Tilly likes to gauge the significance of his work by the hair on the backs of his arms. Look at it standing up, he says, thrusting out his forearm on a mid-August afternoon. A reproductive biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Tilly was explaining a procedure to retrieve stem cells from the ovaries of a sterile woman. This experiment, he hopes, will help to quell criticism of his most controversial claim: that ovaries have the potential to make eggs indefinitely. This defies the long-held dogma that female mammals are born with all the oocytes (precursors to eggs) they will ever produce, a population that dwindles with age and is exhausted at menopause.

Tilly first challenged that doctrine in 2004, in a paper1 suggesting that the oocytes in mouse ovaries are being replenished by stem cells. If properly understood, such cells could be harnessed to generate fresh eggs for women with fertility problems, or even achieve a goal Tilly has been pursuing for 25 years: delaying or halting menopause. The hairs are still up, Tilly says. It happens every time I think about that experiment.

He has since published a parade of headline-grabbing papers, culminating this year in a report2 that he had isolated the elusive stem cells from human ovaries and coaxed them to develop into bona fide oocytes. But his work has been dogged by doubt. Some researchers question his methods and reasoning. Others have tried, and failed, to repeat his experiments. Tilly always makes what I call big satellites, something tremendous in the sky, says molecular biologist Kui Liu at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. He exaggerates, Liu says, and produces a big press release. A few years later, people realize, Oh, not right.

Tilly says he has weathered a lot of attacks. When I made the decision to pursue this, it was out of pure excitement that we found something that could revolutionize the field. It never even crossed my mind that it would be so negative and so nasty. And it really is negative and nasty.

Trisha Gura discusses Jonathan Tillys controversial work.

But now the stand-off of mistrust, and sometimes open contempt, has taken a strange twist. Two of Tillys most vociferous critics have become his collaborators: one serving on the board of advisers at his start-up company, OvaScience in Cambridge, Massachusetts; the other working directly with the stem cells that Tilly had isolated. These cells are doing things in vitro that can really start to address scientific problems, says Evelyn Telfer, a reproductive biologist at the University of Edinburgh,UK, who was doubtful of Tillys work in the past. If we are really interested in the science...then this is a great tool.

The no new eggs doctrine has a long history. In 1951, the influential anatomist Solly Zuckerman, at the University of Birmingham, UK, performed an in-depth analysis of evidence available at the time. He concluded that none of it effectively countered a proposal from the 1870s stating that female mammals stop producing oocytes after birth3.

For the first 15 years of his career, Tilly focused mainly on programmed cell death, or apoptosis, and he was struck by the fact that no one had ever quantified the loss of eggs due to ovulation and natural oocyte death over time. So beginning around 1999, Tilly commandeered a microscope and mouse ovarian tissue in order to count the follicles, the cellular compartments in which oocytes develop, in mice at different ages. He found a mathematical imbalance: the number of degenerated follicles was three times higher than expected on the basis of the starting pool. If the mice were losing oocytes at this rate, their eggs should be depleted far sooner than they actually were. Something had to be replacing them, he concluded: stem cells were the likely culprit.

22 young group leaders recognized as European Molecular Biology Organization Young Investigators

Public release date: 14-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Barry Whyte communications@embo.org 49-622-188-91108 European Molecular Biology Organization

HEIDELBERG, 14 NOVEMBER 2012 EMBO announced today the selection of 22 young researchers as EMBO Young Investigators.

"EMBO Young Investigators gain financial, academic and practical support to advance their careers," says Gerlind Wallon, EMBO Deputy Director and Manager of the Young Investigator Programme. "The status of Young Investigator offers a level of recognition that brings immediate benefits to scientists at an early stage of their careers." The programme targets researchers under forty years of age who have established their first laboratories in the past four years.

In 2012, EMBO received 160 applications for the Young Investigator Programme. The successful candidates come from twelve countries and include the first scientist from Singapore to join the network. Scientists from Singapore can apply to EMBO programmes due to a cooperation agreement between both parties that started in 2011.

The selected young scientists join a network of nearly 300 current and former young investigators that encourages collaboration. The larger network also brings new opportunities for special meetings, which are organized by the young investigator community, such as those in systems biology and genomic instability that took place in Spain and France earlier this year. "The benefits of networking are becoming more apparent each year," states Wallon.

Eight women were selected as young investigators in 2012 and, as last year, the success rate of female researchers was slightly higher than that of male applicants.

The 22 successful candidates receive 15,000 euros per year for three years directly from the member state where their laboratories are located. The distinction of being an EMBO Young Investigator helps to raise the visibility of young researchers in the life science community. They also receive funding to attend conferences for themselves and their group members, practical training in laboratory management and access to core facilities at EMBL, among other benefits.

The next application deadline is 1 April 2013. More information can be found at http://www.embo.org/programmes/yip.html.

Synthetic Biology Boost

The UK's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council has said that it will invest around 20 million ($32 million) in six synthetic biology research projects in the country, which will focus on global challenges such as producing low-carbon fuels and reducing the cost of industrial raw materials.

The financial support will also help build a synthetic biology research community in the UK, the BBSRC says.

The grants are part of BBSRC's Strategic Longer and Larger Awards scheme, which aims to give research teams the time and resources to address areas of key strategic importance. The grants form a network of investment in synthetic biology for the so-called Knowledge Based Bioeconomy.

Douglas Kell, chief executive of the BBSRC, says in a statement that "the funding is a major step in exploring the capacity of synthetic biology to develop useful applications."

Also, "the investment recognizes the important role that synthetic biology can play in addressing many of the grand challenges we face, and in helping to provide future prosperity," he says.

Biology class advances research on Phragmites australis

Biology professor Carrie Wu has worked with her students to advance her research on a dangerous invasive species, Phragmites australis, which has influenced the Virginia Department of Recreation and Conservations procedures.

Their work is also in the process of being published and will be featured in a National Public Radio program.

I guess the main reason that we should be studying them is for the ecological impact they have, said freshman Amanda Moore, a biology major and psychology minor. Phragmites specifically, because it grows so rapidly, taking over the diversity of marshes. Its important we understand that and are able to make different conservation efforts, so theyre controlled.

After recognizing the threat of Phragmites, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation started using controlled burns and chemical sprays to stop it from spreading.

But Phragmites is prone to catch fire, and unlike other plants, it can re-sprout even when the top burns off, she said. Although these methods contain the species, they probably cannot eradicate a Phragmites population because even a small nodule can reestablish itself, Wu said. This adaptation also creates a fire hazard, she said.

Wus research shows that native Phragmites still exists in Virginia, a finding that she has integrated into her class, Biological Invasions. Because native Phragmites does not pose the same threats as the non-native, or invasive Phragmites, Wu focuses largely on how to differentiate between the two, she said.

Wu and her students have brought this idea to the departments attention. Before working together, the department applied its controlled methods to Phragmites populations without identifying whether they were actually invasive, she said.

Were bringing in a genetic tool to more definitely determine where native and invasive populations are, she said, so that they can target the invasive and try to conserve the native.

Wus students have focused on distinguishing the populations genetically, rather than morphologically, or by looking solely at their physical appearance, Wu said.

Phragmites is a tall wetland grass in both forms, but often, native and non-native species look and behave differently, she said. The native species usually grows in wetlands, coexisting with other species. Invasive Phragmites grows into a hedge about six to 10 feet tall. These hedges live in isolation because they have a more aggressive growth form, she said.
