Comment crime scene use (Score 1) 66
It would be useful in mapping crime scenes. What happens, though, if you are outdoors; say a traffic accident with lots of vehicles?

Tons of information, much of it also restricted but still useful, by searching for the key agent, and for migrastatin.

Do a search for "institute for regenerative medicine" and see how many of these now exist.

Are folks playing Farmville doing what we are right here, reading and posting these remarks? Has anyone benefited from this discussion other than the social interaction?

This sort of device would probably work well with solar farms that presently concentrate sunlight onto a boiler.

I listen to the following podcasts that cover technical subjects and are the best I've found. The Naked Scientists provide the best overall coverage in hour-long sessions. Leoville's Futures in Biotech is very good in this cutting-edge field, but offers a limited number of entries. Perhaps more donations would enable the producer to do more.
Microbeworld offers one-minute bites.
Some of the leoville material that covers his radio call-in program last 2 hrs. Except for the FIB, all of his stuff is electronics-related (computers--Mac and Windows --, computer security, cell phones, digital cameras, and home theater). Some casts involve panels and guests. I've not included several more he does relating to food and children. Time compression software or other enhanced playback options are helpful with it as well as the other items if your time is limited.The Lancet offers several categories of current medical info. Podnuts is a computer repair discussion. Ziepod on Vista Home Premium works well to download all new episodes once a week.

Submission + - Effective use of technology in the classroom 1
postermmxvicom writes: "I remember in college I had one professor who, in addition to being a great teacher, really took advantage of the technology in the classroom to illustrate the concepts for Calculus and Linear Algebra.
Well, now I am the teacher. I teach Algebra, AP Calculus, and Physics at high school. This year, I have gotten a tablet and a wireless projector. I now can write on my tablet instead of the board and use other applications. I want to effectively utilize this tech for teaching. Please share how you have seen technology effectively used for Math and Physics. Specific software or how that software was used (specific or general).
I want to serve my students well. I thought it'd be nice to hear fellow nerds reminisce about their favorite teachers."
