Patient Success Story: Paul Sitkus - Myasthenia Gravis
After suffering from the symptoms of myasthenia gravis for two years, Paul Sitkus came to The University of Maryland Myasthenia Gravis Center to seek treatment from Dr. Charlene Hafer-Macko. In this video, Paul discusses how the treatments relieved his symptoms and significantly changed his life for the better. He also recalls how Dr. Macko pulled him through two major surgeries that he subsequently had at the Medical Center — hip replacement surgery with Dr. Vincent Pellegrini and back surge
The Numbers Behind Hunger: Calorie Counting
Following are a series of activities in which students apply various math skills to better understand the problems of world hunger and what steps are being taken to reduce the number of people without enough to eat. This activity makes use of basic math skills to learn more about the energy value of food. A link to the US Dept. of Agriculture National Nutrient Database is listed here. Teachers may want to browse through the database first and determine the best way to present it to students: let
Traditional Chinese Paper
This 1:48 video shows how one Chinese town still makes paper the traditional way. The students will learn how the bamboo is harvested, turned into pulp, and made into paper.
A Life To Love: A Child Safety Video
Running 14 minutes, the video features tips on: the hazards of leaving children unattended in a bath or a car; the importance of window guards; Shaken Baby Syndrome; Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome; car seat usage; stairwell gates; cabinet safety latches and
other protective devices. The video is a bit uneven.
How to Find Orion
How to find the constellation Orion. Distinguished by Orion's Belt, with Rigel (a blue star) and Betelguese (a red star).Orion is one of the most easily recognizable constellations due to the three stars that form the belt of Orion. Look for Orion almost due East in the fall. The video is only one minute in duration so it may have to be stopped to assist the students in locating these stars.
Connections Across Water
How were water routes used as conduits of expansion and trade? The traders of the Indian Ocean, the early Mississippians, and the Norsemen carried death and disease, skills and technologies, philosophies and religion down rivers and across oceans. (28:35)

Functional and Structural Insights Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations of an Essential RNA Ed
RNA editing ligase 1 (TbREL1) is required for the survival of both the insect and bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite responsible for the devastating tropical disease African sleeping sickness. The type of RNA editing that TbREL1 is involved in is unique to the trypanosomes, and no close human homolog is known to exist. In addition, the high-resolution crystal structure revealed several unique features of the active site, making this enzyme a promising target for structure-base

Science in Focus: Force and Motion: Workshop 7. The Lure of Magnetism
What is the difference between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet? In this workshop, fourth-grade students build an electromagnet by winding a wire around a rivet and attaching the ends to battery terminals. The students first predict how many washers they can pick up with the help of their electromagnet and then perform the experiment to test their predictions. After the number of washers is recorded and the results are discussed, the students engage in a group discussion about practical u
