Effective Methods of Training Biology Laboratory Teaching Assistants III: Grading Consistently
This workshop is a continuation of a dialogue on training teaching assistants that began as a major workshop in Lincoln (1999, ABLE Proceedings Vol. 21) and continued at Clemson (2000, ABLE Proceedings Vol. 22). This year we focused on training TAs to grade more consistently by comparing the use of holistic and numeric rubrics for grading papers.

It’s Every Monkey for Themselves
Taking off to mend a broken heart, Vanessa Woods left safe, suburban
Canberra and headed for the remote, wild and distinctly unsafe jungles
of Costa Rica. She was stung so often by killer bees she developed a
lethal allergy, and the monkeys she was to study were evasive, mean and
aggressive. The only difference between them and her housemates was
that at least she could tell her housemates apart.
In this talk, science writer Vanessa Woods will explain how to survive
a year in the jungle: a world
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter: The First Months
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) was launched in 2005 to search
for evidence that water persisted on the surface of Mars for a long
period of time. While other Mars missions have shown that water flowed
across the surface in Mars' history, it remains a mystery whether
liquid water existed long enough to provide a habitat for life.
After a year’s cruise and aerobraking to reach its science orbit in
September 2006, the MRO has begun to study the history of water on Mars
with a suite
Achieving and Maintaining Full Employment
In 1951, the year Sir Roland Wilson became Secretary to the Treasury, the terms of trade rose to their highest level on record. While the terms of trade fell back in the following year, they did not fully retrace their rise for a number of years. Around this time, Australia entered a long period of sustained economic growth, with the unemployment rate rarely rising above 3 per cent. Today the Australian economy is growing strongly, supported by the highest terms of trade since Sir Roland was Tre
The ITC Industry in Australia

Obamarama & the audacity of evidence for health reform in the United States
Since President Barrack Obama took office early this year, Congress has proposed bold actions to address the ailing United States health care system. In a system that spends $2.4 trillion each year on health care with some of the worst outcomes in the western world, there is enthusiasm to revitalise primary care. Dr Andrew Bazemore, of the Robert Graham Center in Washington DC, will talk about health reform in the US and the renewed role for evidence-based policy making.
George Leckie - Are league tables any use for choosing schools?
Each year, the government publishes league tables of GCSE results to help parents choose their childrens secondary school. But as George Leckie discusses with Romesh Vaitilingam , the past performance of schools is an imprecise guide to how they might perform in the future.
The Devil's in the D-tales: How ancient DNA is demystifying today
Analysis of up to 100,000-year-old DNA at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA promises to throw new light on some of today's most intriguing questions.
The Atheology
If Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, French philosopher Michel
Onfray starts from the premise that not only is God still very much
alive but increasingly controlled by fundamentalists who pose a danger
to the human race. The Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism and Islam is a tightly argued work that is sure to stir heated debate on the role of religion in Australian society.
This ANU Public Lecture was delivered by Michel Onfray in French with a direct translation into
