Orchestrating cell separation in plants: What are the risks and benefits?
In this podcast, Professor Roberts from the School of Biosciences discusses his research into the mechanism responsible for regulating cell separation in plants. In particular how plants 'shed' parts of themselves such as leaves or fruit. Professor Roberts explores the potential application of his research, through prevention or encouraging of the 'shedding' process, agricultural harvests could potentially be increased or even synchronised.
Professor Roberts also discusses the resistance faced

Weapons of Mass Confusion: Assessing the True Risks
Panelists gathered for this discussion agree that when setting weapons policy it is counterproductive to lump weapons together. The dangers from nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons need to understood individually. Owen Cote says nuclear weapons, with their large-scale production process and instant lethal capacity, belong in one categ
"Working for My Benefits:" Brenda Steward Describes the Work Experience Program (WEP) in New York Ci
During the 1960's and 1970's welfare reform movements from the left sought to increase benefits and expand community power, but in 1996 critics from the right passed the federal Welfare Reform Act to limit the program by imposing time-limits and restrictions on welfare benefits. In New York City, the Work Experience Program (WEP), or workfare, initiated in conjunction with the 1996 act, required welfare recipients to "pay off" their welfare benefits by working menial jobs for the city at well be

Survey on opinions from national bioethics committees or similar bodies, public debate and national
The European Commission, DG Research (Directorate E: Biotechnology, Agriculture and Food) devised a survey during the Spring 2001 in order to compile opinion-based data from national bioethics committees and current national legislation in relation to human embryonic stem cell research. The data would be used to structure an informative debate on stem cells across Europe. The survey has been updated regularly in accordance with the continual monitoring of the societal dialogue, the ethical consi
Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans?
The need for an urgent rigorous evaluation and implementation of systematic reviews for animal research is proposed. The lack of evidence for the effectiveness of animal research in the UK and the assumption that the public accepts any potential benefits for humans means that its value requires clarification. Published systematic reviews of animal studies which determined how animal research had informed clinical research were examined. Subsequent analysis showed that systematic reviews would in
AoB PLANTS
Started by Oxford Journals in 2009, AoB PLANTS is an online, open-access journal publishing papers on all aspects of plant biology, including palaeobotany, and covering micro-organisms and animals where their impact on plants is central. Papers are peer-reviewed before publication, after which readers are able to submit comments through the medium of E-LETTERS which provides a published exchange of views. NB There is as yet very little content in this journal.

What are the benefits to schools of involvement with initial teacher training?
This Partnership Project report draws upon evidence in OfSTED reports and from a sample of Beacon, Specialist and Training schools in the Yorkshire and Humberside region involved in ITT partnership. It investigates evidence from these sources on the extent to which this involvement contributes to the quality of education in the school.
