...English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of the prom, their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the vital link between teacher and student that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace...
...study suggests that for children, cutting down on television just might prevent packing on those extra pounds. The report, co-authored by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month, revealed that increasing television-viewing results in increasing caloric intake in children. While the link between viewing television and obesity has been well documented in the past, studies have often hypothesized that weight gain from television-viewing comes from being sedentary and from the tendency for viewers to snack while they watch television. This new study, authored by Harvard Senior Research Scientist Jean L. Wiecha, found...
...fascinates scientists about the fishapod is that it fits so neatly into one of the most exciting chapters in the history of life--when creatures that swam in seas and rivers gave rise to things that walked, ran and crept on land. The fishapod appears to be a crucial link in the long chain that over time led to amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. Indeed, Tiktaalik roseae, the official name bestowed on the fishapod (in the language of the local Inuit, tiktaalik means "large fish in stream"), falls anatomically between the lobe-finned fish Panderichthys, found in Latvia...
Another possibility the investigators are sure to explore is whether there is any link between the Iowa outbreak and an ongoing epidemic of mumps that sickened at least 43,322 people in England and Wales last year. (The British outbreak, in turn, may be tied to a 1994 campaign to vaccinate older children that focused on measles and rubella but was unable, for complicated reasons, to include a mumps shot.) The viruses responsible for the British and American outbreaks have similar genetic makeup, but further testing will be required to determine whether they are related...
...Harvard School of Dental Medicine. “We found an association between fluoride levels in drinking water during childhood and osteosarcoma for males diagnosed before age 20 years,” she wrote. Douglass’ $1.3 million dollar, 15 year study did not find a link between drinking fluoridated water and developing osteosarcoma. He said Bassin’s study is a subset of his study and that he had not been able to replicate her results. The Environmental Working Group, a Washington D.C. based advocacy group, recently filed an ethics complaint against Douglass because he allegedly cited...
