Really cool websites!

[Monique]

Take a look at this website, it has some really neat Clips, Stills, and Slides of small life forms:

http://www.cytographics.com/


Especially nice is the video of Xenopus (toad) eggs. The video illustrate, how perfectly times embyonic development is, since three three eggs were fertilized at the same time and develop at the same speed.

It is cool, since it is a time lapse videa which shows the process from first cell division all the way of the hatching of the tadpole. Too bad the resolution is not so nice, I've got in on a CDROM which is 100x better.

[Beren]

Oh, how wonderful!

I especially liked the "Early Phases of Mitosis", and it's even in quicktime format (which I much prefer).

Very nice sites.

[Monique]

Please feel free top post any website which are great resources or have nice animations!

[Monique]

http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/bio1int.htm

That one contains many many animations on Basic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Structure, Mitosis/Meiosis, Cell Transport, Cellular Respiration, Photsynthesis, Heredity, DNA Replication, Protein Synthesis, Gene Expression, Evolution, Viruses!


Another one:

http://www.becominghuman.org

Which is a documentary made by Donald C. Johanson, an Paleoanthropologist. It is really extensive and lenghthy: nicely made :) Definetely worth listening to.

I really enjoyed this site... I thought the Noctiluca Scintillans was kinda cutesy, with its ability to catch prey with its flagella... I don't know when I see things like this I want to reconsider being a biology major...

[Another God]

I just think this is a good website for some basic tutorials (with animations included)

UCLA Molecular Biology Tutorials (http://www.lsic.ucla.edu/ls3/tutorials/)

[Monique]

That is a really nice tutorial AG, if you know more of these I'd like to know that :)!

[Another God]

I just found two cool websites:

Animated Tutorials (http://www.sumanasinc.com/index.html)
This site is actually of the company which is contracted to make the tutorials, but it seems you can access all of the tutorials that they make. They have many biology ones as well as physics, astronomy etc.

Stem Cell Information (http://stemcells.nih.gov/)
This is the NIH's Stem Cell information website. If you have ever wanted to know anything about stem cells, i think this is a good place to start.

[karthik3k]

Guys,
Does anyone of u know any sites related to NeuroPhysics ???
PLz tellme...

[Another God]

A book on consciousness and the brain....? (http://www.thymos.com/tat/title.html)
I dunno if this will help, but it has a chapter listing, and one of them might be related to what you want. Often if you can just find one site which is related to what you want, check out the links from that site, and you 'surf'[b(] your way to the site you want.

[karthik3k]

I need a link some thing to do with NeuroPhysics like electronics, electrodes, circuits ...

[Tom Mattson]

I don't know if anyone has picked up on this yet, but the Los Alamos preprint server has (as of Sept. 15) added a "Quantitative Biology" archive, found here:

http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/q-bio

It includes Biomolecules, Cell Behavior, Genomics, Molecular Networks, Neurons and Cognition, Populations and Evolution, Quantitative Methods, Subcellular Processes, Tissues and Organs and more.

Hi,

I always knew _chemistry_ was a branch of physics, but this is the first time I've seen biology subordinated to it! Is there a www.biologyforums.com?

I'm an outsider, but Wired magazine referred this really excellent new bio journal and publication paradigm which you probably all know about already, but just in case you don't:

http://www.plosbiology.org

PS:

I would like to help make available a global research model of biological pathways (modelled at the generalised symbolic level), fed from researchers via a biological pathway description notation.

The model would be available to acredited researchers for query and simulation studies.

I can drive the design and implementation of the first version, (part time), but I need volunteers to participate in interviews to establish the generalised structures required for the data model.

Is there anyone who would like to contribute by submitting to a short interrogation (hopefully painless and constructive :) on this topic for an hour so?

The interview process should rapidly iterate to an initial high-level data model, which can then be implemented as a database design, leading on to input formats, simulation processes, and output formats.

New evolution 101 site. Should be good - - it's by the National Center for Science Education (heavily engaged in the creation-evolution debate).

http://evolution.berkeley.edu

The Understanding Evolution web site -- written for teachers but accessible to the general public -- is intended to provide "one-stop shopping" for evolution education. The web site is rich in content, with sections on the nature of science, evolution itself, the different lines of evidence supporting evidence, evolution's relevance to everyday life, widespread misconceptions about evolution, and the history of evolutionary thought. There is also an extensive section especially for teachers, giving advice on teaching evolution, ideas for lesson plans, ways to avoid confusing students, and answering common student questions.

And of course, there is the always famous...

[JoneS]

U all seem like clever people, so can u help me understand how i am to do courework on the resistivity of conducting putty.
[:(]

[jjalexand]

maybe try and understand how it works and what happens. Try and understand the questions and how they relate to the stuff and it's behaviour.

I would be interested to know if there is a feedback between the electric current going through it and any physical properties it has, such as temperature, stiffness, etc, and also if any physical effects alter it's electrical resistance. If you squeeze it, does it alter the electrical resistance?

If so, positive or negative feedback might develop, which could be useful.

Can you use it to make artificial muscles or activators? Can you use it as a pressure transducer. What is it used for? Are there different types?

[JoneS]

This is the problem i have no idea what it is. i know how to work out the risitivity

P=RA over L

But i don't know what this putty stuff is like,
i think i have to keep the mass the same and change the shape, since the resistivity is the relationship between resistance, lenght and cross sectional area.
arrrrrrrrr

I'm looking for a site with immunology animations that would be appropriate for students that are either non biology majors or have a very basic understanding of biology. I've looked at a few sites you guys have listed (some very cool sites) but haven't found one that gives a good general overview of the immune response cascade. If you know of good site please let me know!

[SimplePie]

I clicked on the link and it does not appear to be a spam/virus website (i.e., it is, infact, a forum about animals) but I have to say the URL looks really amateurish. You should get a domain name for the site... it's about $5-$10 per year if you can find the right registrar.

Oh, and I'm not sure if it is proper etiquette to advertise other sites here.

This is the best video I've seen on the subject of DNA replication and transcription.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8NHcQesYl8

I think this video is helpful in introducing us to what is happening at the distance-scale of mRNA and transcription factors, and so on. The second part of the video with 3D computer animation shows the machinery that replicates DNA, and is also quite fascinating (move over quantum mechanics!).

What do ya'll think about it?

[Moonbear]

That is a very good animation, and should be quite beneficial for students to better understand the process...especially those who are visual learners. My only critique of it is I wish they had cleaned up some of the background noise on their microphone; it's a bit distracting if one were to use it for classroom teaching, but given the rest of the quality of the animations, that's a minor issue.
