Is Local Radio at the Heart of the Community? - Bill Heine and Daniel Bruce
Bill Heine is considered by many to be very opinionated and perhaps somewhat controversial in the field of radio presenting, Heine is not afraid to speak his mind and allows his listeners to do the same during his phone-in show.

Daniel Bruce became Regional Managing Editor for all of th
Summer Break 2010: Environmental Effects On Invertebrate Reproduction
Biology Professor Robert Podolsky was able to bring two of his students, Diego Castro and Gabe Segarra, to the Friday Harbor Laboratories in Washington state as part of the NSF-REU/Blinks Fellowship program.
Both students focused on their own project: Gabe researched the bubble snail's chemical defense of its embryos against hermit and purple shore crabs, while Diego focused on the sea slug's ability to adapt the design of its egg masses to different water current strengths.
Developing research identities: effective mentoring for teacher educators
This resource is a summary of a paper presented at the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Annual Conference in September 2009. It outlines the findings of a small scale research project focussing on the developing research trajectories of six teacher educators and their mentors in two different higher education institutions, in order to identify effective mentoring practices and other forms of support as well as potential barriers to the development of a research identity.
