Extractions: Detailed information about the Ph.D. program at Stanford can be found in the Stanford Bulletin section on the Biological Sciences Department Degree Programs in pdf format and at the Student Resources web page of the Biological Sciences Department In brief, Ph.D. students in the Molecular/Cell track are required to take Advanced Genetics, Cell Biology of Physiological Processes and Advanced Molecular Biology. In addition, students take a fourth, elective course. Examples of the elective courses taken by Plant Biology graduate students are listed below. During their time in graduate school, Ph.D. students take a course on the ethical conduct of research, attend and give an oral presentation in one of the seminar series or journal clubs in the department, and assist in the teaching of two courses. Specific first year requirements are to complete 10-week rotations in three different laboratories and to participate in the seminar Frontiers in Biology. In the second year, students write and defend an area proposal and a dissertation proposal.

Extractions: (including Freedom of Information Act requests) The Department is one of the leading centres for biological teaching and research in the UK. We have an integrated approach to Biology, with no barriers between disciplines. We teach degree courses and undertake research across the whole spectrum of modern Biology, from molecular genetics and biochemistry to ecology. We occupy a single set of purpose-built teaching and research laboratories at the west end of the University campus. Our new laboratories, funded by a £21.6M JIF award from BBSRC, opened in July 2002, and include the innovative Technology Facility. Dale Sanders, Head of Department

Extractions: Saint Joseph College Biology Department To train scientists and health care professionals to meet the technological challenges of the new millennium and to foster the advancement of women in the biological sciences. We offer comprehensive courses in the areas of field biology/ecology, biomedical sciences, and cell and molecular biology. In addition to formal course work we offer our undergraduate students the chance to participate in the on-going research of our faculty members. Experience has shown that participation in undergraduate research is the single most important aspect of the baccalaureate major in preparing students for graduate work and careers in the biological sciences. The Saint Joseph College Biology Department is composed of professors from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our faculty members include an ornithologist , an aquatic ecologist, a cardiologist, a neuroscientist, a pharmacologist, a microbiologist and a geneticist. Many of our faculty have on-going research programs and have published their research findings in international journals. All Graduate Students click here !
Intelligent Design: Is It Just Creationism Lite? belief and ought not be included in high school biology courses. The biology lessons begin this week. On Friday, the school district agreed to http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05009/439503.stm
Extractions: The flap over "intelligent design," the latest terminology behind the old theory that the universe and its organisms developed at the discretion of a supernatural creator, continues to unfold in York County's Dover Area School District, where school directors want teachers to talk about the theory in a ninth-grade biology course. The school board wants its science teachers to mention intelligent design as a possible alternative to evolution, and to note that evolution, as Charles Darwin posited, is a controversial and incomplete theory. A group of parents sued the district last year, saying intelligent design amounts to a religious belief and ought not be included in high school biology courses. Since the full trial in federal court in Harrisburg probably won't come until spring, administrators and possibly some teachers in the meantime will be reading the four-paragraph statement to students. The biology lessons begin this week. On Friday, the school district agreed to temporarily exempt teachers and students who object to it, after seven science teachers signed a letter saying the policy would violate Pennsylvania's professional standards and practices code for teachers.

Extractions: Biology majors at Hollins explore life in the classroom, the laboratory, and in the field. With an active, engaging program, biology majors are exposed to the breadth of biology in four disciplinary specific courses rather than starting with a superficial year-long survey course. As such, with her first course in biology, a major is immersed in a biological discipline and has the opportunity to delve into the theory and application of scientific ideas and techniques rather than just memorize a litany of facts. In our classes, students work closely with faculty as lecture courses often have fewer than 20 students and laboratories seldom have more than 14 students. Our students work with high quality microscopes and physiological equipment, digital computer imaging, DNA fingerprinting, Global Positioning Systems, and have the opportunity to work with a variety of other modern technologies. Field labs stretch from the diverse environment of Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia to the Virginia coast. Our students are also encouraged to spend a semester or summer abroad. Many students have pursued field studies abroad in such places as Kenya, the Caicos Islands, the West Indies, the rain forests of Australia, and the Baha Peninsula. Other students have taken advantage of our cooperative exchange program with the University of Limerick which offers a diverse program in equine studies.
