This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Mary C. Berckerle from the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah and covers a new frontier in cell biology; how cells respond to mechanical information. Cells and tissues are exposed to physical forces in vivo and excessive...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project, presented by Nevan Krogan of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at UC-San Francisco, covers mass spectrometry and its application to molecular biology. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for elucidating the elemental composition of a...

This article from Phys.org discusses research involving synthetic gene circuits. "Mathematical modeling experts from the University of Houston (UH) collaborated with experimental biologists at Rice University to create a synthetic genetic clock that keeps accurate time across a range of...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) explores diffusion and osmosis. It includes several demonstrations of the principles and two activities that allow the student to develop a testable hypothesis about the osmotic potential of various plant cells....

This video is part of the 2020 SciTech Lecture Series from Forsyth Technical Community College. This series of lectures is held every year and covers an array of science and technology topics. This lecture features Dr. Ronald Keeney, President of Pharmaceutical Medicine Associates, Inc. During this...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BABSE) demonstrates how to do proper scientific measurements and the calculations associated with them. It also covers how to make a graph of data and how to interpret the data and associated graphs. It contains an...

This page, from the Nikon Corporation, provides a wealth of resources about microscopy for students and professionals alike. The Latest Review Articles section provides written, in-depth summaries of topics like fluorescent proteins and microscope focus drift, and the Optical Microscopy Tutorials on...

This project aims to demonstrate the effective use of technology to a student-centered, model-based approach to secondary science teaching. Using a variety of computer-based manipulable models and probeware, MAC teaches students how to create, refine, and apply mental models to improve their...

The Molecular Expressions website features photo galleries that explore the fascinating world of optical microscopy. The site offers a large collection of color photographs taken through an optical microscope (commonly referred to as "photo-micro-graphs"). The Photo Gallery contains an introductory...

The PhET project at the University of Colorado creates "fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena." This particular one deals with molecular polarity. When is a molecule polar? Change the electronegativity of atoms in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. This...
