We reflected on our experience in applying for, operating, and renewing a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site program in computational biology from 2016 to 2021 at a metropolitan public university, funded by the National Science Foundation of the U.S.A.Our mistakes during the application process were avoidable in retrospect.Our Interdiscipl
WOMENS SUNGLASSES This study evaluated the effects on the development and predatory capacity of Podisus nigrispinus fed on Spodoptera frugiperda that have ingested different concentrations of neem oil.The predatory capacity of Podisus nigrispinus was assessed, separating nymphs (fourth instar) and adults (males and females).The treatments consisted
Biological networks are often inferred through Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) using gene or protein expression data only.GGMs identify conditional dependence by estimating a precision matrix between genes or proteins.However, conventional GGM approaches often ignore prior knowledge about protein-protein interactions (PPI).Recently, several groups
Occupational eye injuries are the leading reasons of ocular traumas that can result in vision loss.To avoid such injuries it is important to increase awareness about work-related accidents.However, even to witness the bad Thinsulate Gloves results of the splashing of a foreign body into the eye, may not be enough to encourage people to take precaut
Physician-scientists, who have dual medical and advanced research training, are a scarce and valuable asset.They bridge clinical practice and research, address critical medical challenges with a scientific perspective, and drive innovation by translating discoveries into patient care.Physicians with research expertise are particularly adept at crit
