Extractions: 13. Biosafety Levels Four biosafety levels (BLs) are described below, which consist of combinations of laboratory practices and techniques, safety equipment, and laboratory facilities. Each combination is specifically designed for the operations performed, the documented or suspected routes of transmission of the infectious agents, and the laboratory function or activity. The recommended biosafety level(s) for organisms represent those conditions under which the agent can ordinarily be safely handled. The laboratory director is specifically and primarily responsible for assessing risks and for appropriately applying the recommended biosafety levels. (See Section 6.1 ) Generally, work with known agents should be conducted at the biosafety level recommended by the proper authorities. When specific information is available to suggest that virulence, pathogenicity, antibiotic resistance patterns, vaccine and treatment availability, or other factors are significantly altered, more (or less) stringent practices may be needed. 13.1 Biosafety Level 1

Marine Biology Facilities, Alaska Pacific University Energetics is an important technique in understanding marine systems, particularly in Field equipment. The Marine biology program also has a Vemco sonic http://marine.alaskapacific.edu/Marine/MAR Facilities.php
Extractions: Marine Biology Program Home Projects Opportunities Facilities ... Sponsors The Marine Biology Program is part of the Environmental Sciences Department, housed on the third floor of Grant Hall. The third floor, now designated the BP Science Center, was completely renovated in Summer 2003 including new lab facilities and teaching classrooms. The Aquarium Lab is designed as a fully redundant life support system for both cold water and tropical marine invertebrates and fish. It is intended to support student course work in many courses, from Aquarium Biology and Invertebrate Zoology (where it is the primary means of presenting material) to Chemistry and Physiology . The lab also supports student projects, directed studies (e.g. Coral Propagation), Junior Practica (e.g Aquarium System Design), Senior Projects (e.g. grazing effects on algal competition, salmonid aquaculture techniques), and faculty research (biology of the Giant Pacific Octopus The aquarium lab houses cold-water and tropical marine aquariums, with a total capacity of approximately 1000 gallons in four recirculating aquarium systems: a 120-gal display tank and a 600-gal multi-tank cold water system, each housing North Pacific flora and fauna; plus a 75-gal display tank and a rack system comprising 15 10-gal experimental tanks, each holding Indo-Pacific coral reef organisms.
Extractions: The Technology Facility is open to both external academic and commercial users. There is a range of access options - from using the equipment yourself to the Technology Facility staff providing a full service and undertaking the experiments on your behalf. The majority of the equipment in the Technology Facility is available for use by 'super-users' who, after initial training, are permitted to use the instrumentation by themselves. This offers an efficient and cost effective manner to undertake your experiments. Staff are always on hand to offer troubleshooting and advice. Extended visits to work in our labs are often possible. If you do not have the time to undertake the experiments yourself or do not intend to use the equipment frequently, we are happy to provide a full service where our experienced staff will undertake your experiments for you. In many cases this can be the most beneficial route to take as the staff are both efficient and have experience in many sample types and can often optimise the conditions and exploit other techniques that you may not have been aware of. We offer a range of training courses for various techniques. If you are looking for a specific course, then as well as our routine courses, we can tailor group courses to suit your own needs. This would enable you to train staff on specific techniques directly related to your requirements.

Extractions: Search the BSCB Site for PEOPLE The fact that you have clicked on this section indicates that you have an interest in people and probably in all livings things. All biologists would claim similar interests but cell and molecular biologists are particularly interested in how organisms work at the very basic level of life; the cell, the sub cellular parts and how molecules react and move to make a cell work. Work in cell biology demands the knowledge and skills of people from different subject areas. Within a team or laboratory you might find scientists who are biochemists, chemists, immunologists, biophysicists and an increasing number of computer specialists as well as cell and molecular biologists. Good scientists working in cell biology are multi-skilled astute observers with good inter-personal skills. They can think critically, creatively and laterally and use their imagination much as an artist does. They need to be persistent, patient and analytical and be prepared to challenge current and established thinking. They can give presentations to a group and can have a useful discussion over a cup of coffee or a 'pint'. This is an image of cell biologists at work in the lab of Professor Chris Hawes, Oxford Brooks University.
Intel Technology For Education 2000 Developing Interactive Multimedia for biology and Chemistry Curricula The pressure to help students learn facts, laboratory techniques, http://www.sdsc.edu/Tech2000/Biology-chemistry.html
Extractions: Developing Interactive Multimedia for Biology and Chemistry Curricula PIs: Barbara A. Sawrey and Gabriele Wienhausen Understanding modern science mandates an understanding of phenomena invisible to the naked eye and the ability to develop cross-disciplinary knowledge. Most students do not have the expertise to move comfortably from the concrete macroscopic world to the abstraction of the molecular realm and to cross-apply information in the natural sciences. Laboratories are particularly challenging teaching and learning environments especially at large public research universities where hundreds of students may take a given lab course. In this context, the individual needs and learning styles of students are often overlooked. The pressure to help students learn facts, laboratory techniques, and course-specific concepts quickly can cause the big picture or meta-knowledge to be pushed aside or inadvertently left for a later time. Consequently, many students do not build the mental scaffolding to enable assimilating new information in a useful way.

Light fills the modern building, flooding in through big round windows and down wide hallways. Labs at the institute, sleek with stainless steel, are sites of pioneering work in hi-tech, expensive genetics and molecular biology. But on the third floor, one young scientist's discovery is being hailed as revolutionaryprecisely because it's low-tech and cheap. Mulyoto Pangestu, an Indonesian Ph.D. student at the institute, has devised a way to dry and store sperm at room temperature. It costs less than 50 Australian cents (26 U.S. cents) a specimen, relies on common materials like plastic straws and aluminium-foil pouches and requires no special handling. Yet the specimens last for years and remain potent.
