Heine employed the sculptor John Buckley in 1986 to design a 25ft fibreglass sculpture of a shark that appears to be crashing through the roof of his house, it forms something of a controversial local landmark.
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.
Dave Isay, Founder, StoryCorps | 08/20/10
