An award-winning multimedia science and environment series created by KQED, San Francisco, the public media station serving Northern California. Launched in February 2007, by the end of its fourth season (in September 2010), QUEST had reached approximately 36 million viewers and listeners through its traditional TV and radio broadcasts and its growing Web audience. QUEST''s ultimate aim is to raise science literacy in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, inspiring audiences to discover and explore science and environment issues for themselves. Every season, KQED''s QUEST produces: * half-hour television episodes episodes that air weekly, exploring the cutting-edge work of Northern California scientists and researchers (QUEST airs Wednesdays 7:30pm on KQED Public Television 9); * weekly radio reports covering urban environmental issues which often include multimedia slide shows, and interactive online maps (QUEST airs Mondays 6:30am and 8:30am on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM); * Educational resources, for use by formal and informal educators; QUEST also provides professional development for science educators to support multimedia and technology integration in science classrooms and programs; * 20 six-minute stories for its new web only series, Science on the SPOT, which takes a fresh, fast and curious look at science with stories about albino redwoods, the science of fog and banana slugs, to name a few. (launched in 2010); * A daily science blog written by Northern California scientists, QUEST producers and science enthusiasts; * Exclusive web extras, featuring extended interviews with scientists; Flickr photos, and science hikes. Formal and informal Educators who would like to become involved withthe educational outreach program should contact: ScienceEd (at) kqed.org.

Devise better ways to prevent and treat vision loss due to amblyopia and strabismus, and to advance medical science by understanding the human visual system. Various Images, Videos and Talks related to the research are available. In the Laboratory for Visual Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco, we are seeking to discover how visual perception occurs in the human brain. The function of the visual system is to guide our behavior by providing an efficient means for the rapid assimilation of information from the environment. As we navigate through our surroundings, a continuous stream of light images impinges on our eyes. In the back of each eye a light-sensitive tissue, the retina, converts patterns of light energy into electrical discharges known as action potentials. These signals are conveyed along the axons of retinal ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate body, a relay nucleus in the thalamus. Most of the output of the lateral geniculate body is relayed directly to the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, V1), and then to surrounding visual association areas. To understand the function of the visual pathways, our research is focused on 5 major themes: * Organization of Primary Visual Cortex * Mapping of Extrastriate Visual Cortex * Amblyopia and Visual Development * Strabismus and Visual Suppression * The Human Visual Cortex

BioPortfolio is a leading news, information and knowledge resource covering the global life science industries impacted on by biotechnology. The site aims to provide the lay person, the researcher and the management executive with a single location to source core information on specific bio-related topics, to collate relevant data associated with each topic and to point the user to relevant knowledge resources. We publish up to the minute news (see biotechnology news categories) and regularly update content across our information databases. BioPortfolio promotes and sells market research and management reports from 30+ publishers. In addition our unique corporate database lists 40,000+ companies and organizations. BioPortfolio aims to bring together high quality information about marketed drugs - medication and relevant clinical trials, research papers and recent news from PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and DailyMed. Additionally, resources include biotech, pharma and medical job listings. When the BioPortfolio site was launched in February 1997 the company aimed to provide a global free-to-use resource with defined aims and mission statement: to meet the increasing demand of consumers, scientists, investors, commerce and government for timely, accurate and commercially useful information and intelligence on biotechnology companies, technologies and products world-wide. Driven by the success of the site we have made major investments and improvements to enhance our content and to apply the latest web technologies to improve functionality and site utility. We believe this unique depth and breadth of content is supporting individuals, organizations and policy-makers to become more aware of the role of biotechnology on the global economy.

http://gocognitive.net/

Free access to materials for students, educators, and researchers in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Currently there are about a dozen demonstrations and more than 30 videos that were produced over the last two years. The basic philosophy of goCognitive rests on the assumption that easy and free access to high-quality content will improve the learning experience of students and will enable more students to enjoy the field of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. There are a few parts of goCognitive that are only available to registered users who have provided their email address, but all of the online demonstrations and videos are accessible to the everyone. Both new demonstrations and new video interviews will continually be added to the site. Manuals for each of the demonstration are being created and available as pdf files for download. Most of the demonstrations are pretty straightforward - but in some cases, especially if you would like to collect data - it might be a good idea to look over the manual. There are different ways in which you can get involved and contribute to the site. Your involvement can range from sending us feedback about the demonstrations and videos, suggestions for new materials, or the simple submission of corrections, to the creation or publication of demonstrations and videos that meet our criteria. Down the road we will make the submission process easier, but for now please contact swerner (at) uidaho dot edu for more information. NSF student grant Undergraduate students can apply through goCognitive for an $1,100 grant to co-produce a new video interview with a leading researcher in the field of cognitive neuroscience. The funding has been provided by the National Science Foundation.

Dataset from an investigation of biochemical evidence of myocardial strain, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte injury in 55 acute KD subjects (30 with paired convalescent samples), 54 febrile control (FC), and 50 healthy control (HC) children by measuring concentrations of cardiovascular biomarkers. NT-proBNP and sST2 were elevated in acute KD subjects and correlated with impaired myocardial relaxation. These findings, combined with elevated levels of cTnI, suggest that both cardiomyocyte stress and cell death are associated with myocardial inflammation in acute KD.

http://lucene1.neuinfo.org/nif_resource/monthly_results/current/

An automatic pipeline based on an algorithm that identifies new resources in publications every month to assist the efficiency of NIF curators. The pipeline is also able to find the last time the resource's webpage was updated and whether the URL is still valid. This can assist the curator in knowing which resources need attention. Additionally, the pipeline identifies publications that reference existing NIF Registry resources as this is also of interest. These mentions are available through the Data Federation version of the NIF Registry, http://neuinfo.org/nif/nifgwt.html?query=nlx_144509 The RDF is based on an algorithm on how related it is to neuroscience. (hits of neuroscience related terms). Each potential resource gets assigned a score (based on how related it is to neuroscience) and the resources are then ranked and a list is generated.
