Species Diversity Of Enigmatic 'Flying Lemurs' Doubled By New Study
14 Nov 04:00
Colugos, the closest living relatives of primates most notable for their ability to glide from tree to tree over considerable distances, are more diverse than had previously been believed, according to a new report in Current Biology.
Nanoparticles Trigger Cell Death?
14 Nov 04:00
Nanoparticles that are one milliard of a meter in size are widely used, for example, in cosmetics and food packaging materials. There are also significant amounts of nanoparticles in exhaust emissions. New findings give rise to concern that nanoparticles carry potential health hazards.
Dalmatian Bladder Stones Caused By Gene That Regulates Uric Acid In Humans
14 Nov 04:00
A gene mutation that causes high levels of uric acid in all Dalmatian dogs and bladder stones in some Dalmatians, has been identified. The discovery equips dog breeders with the tools to eliminate that trait from the Dalmatian breed and yields clues to the cause of similar problems in humans.
Eye Conditions Linked With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
14 Nov 04:00
Numerous studies have shown a connection between sleep disorders and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, including the risk of obesity and diabetes mellitus.
High Temperatures Decrease Antifungal Properties Of Contact Solution
14 Nov 04:00
Exposure to prolonged temperature elevation reduces antifungal activity of a contact lens solution that was implicated in the epidemic of the eye infection Fusarium keratitis that occurred between 2004 and 2006, according to a new article.

Who am I?
Who am I?
I graduated from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 2000 with a degree in Environmental Science. After graduation, I worked as a summer intern at Theordore Roosevelt National Park as a biological science technician. While counting weeds and fighting forest fires was a great time, I realized that teaching was my true calling and enrolled in a certification program upon my return.I completed my teaching certificate in 2002, and have taught both 8th grade and high school levels during my 6-year career as a science teacher. Currently, I teach biology at Saint Joseph Notre Dame high School in Alameda, California. I have a particular interest in using technology to accelerate and inspire student learning in the science classroom.
