...know, I can only infer that most AP biology courses do not have the depth or rigor to justify testing out of a college course.” The study’s authors, Sadler and University of Virginia Assistant Professor of Science Education Robert H. Tai, presented their findings on Feb. 17 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in St. Louis. According to Sadler, the recent findings—which are not yet published—are a portion of a larger ongoing study.The study—which included 500 students...
...print and original online versions of the Feb. 3 news article, "Job Offers Up for Young Historians," incorrectly stated that the director of graduate studies for Harvard's history department is James T. Kloppenberg. In fact, that post is held by Hue-Tam Ho Tai, who is also the Young professor of Sino-Vietnamese history. Kloppenberg is the chair of the department's graduate admissions committee...
...Snuppy really was cloned from the ear cell of a 3-year-old male Afghan named Tai, it shouldn't be tough to prove, even to those outside investigators. As long as they have tissue samples from both the clone and the parent, they should be able to determine whether DNA in the nuclei of both animals' cells is identical--the first hallmark of a true clone. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish scientist who created Dolly the sheep in 1996, had to provide such samples to prove to skeptics that he had created history's first mammalian clone...
...single egg is fertilized and the resulting embryo splits in two. With a clone, the situation is different. Because the cloning process that Hwang says he used to create Snuppy involves two dogs--one for the nucleus and another for the egg--Snuppy's mitochondrial DNA should not match Tai's. That's what Rhee's scientists say they've found and what Hwang undoubtedly hopes the university and Nature will find as well. Final, ironclad proof of Snuppy's provenance would involve showing that the dog's mitochondrial DNA matches that of his egg donor. It's not clear...
...also a Crimson editor. This year, in addition to making presentations, students will meet with prominent government leaders such as the chairman of the National Human Rights Committee of Thailand, said Einkauf. Aside from presentations and political discussions, students will also participate in cultural and social activities such as Tai Chi, calligraphy, and badminton. Each delegation will also go to tourist sites, museums, and restaurants in their host cities, said Mejia. Yesterday, the selected Harvard students gathered to learn their delegation placement and to be congratulated by HCAP officers. Over 150 people applied for fewer than 80 spots. Samia...
