Dear Colleagues:
The Open Journal System web site for Gravitational and Space Biology is active, and we continue to encourage manuscript submissions of all kinds - from members and non-members alike. The instructions to authors can be found on the website, and in the front-matter of any issue.
Manuscripts can be submitted any time through the website, http://GravitationalAndSpaceBiology.org, and will be published in the order of their completion through the peer review and author revision process. We continue to make special encouragement to people interested in contributing short communications developed from abstracts presented at the annual meeting, as well as longer symposia papers from the annual meeting. Manuscripts submitted before March 1st will be targeted to the Spring 2013 issue, and those submitted between then and August 1st will be targeted to the Fall 2013 issue. But again, manuscripts of all kinds may be submitted at any time, and will be published in their order of completion.
As you know, we are transitioning to a broader scope, and although we are currently still listed under the title "Gravitational and Space Biology" we are targeting the Fall 2013 issue to be the first issue under the title "Gravitational and Space Research". We are in the process of expanding our editorial board to support this change. Submission is open to all, and we are actively encouraging papers in all fields. Examples form the biological side of the house include (but limited to): gravitational and space biology, astrobiology, analog environment research, advanced life support (ALS), biophysics, radiation biology, engineering, and hardware development. Examples of physical sciences relevant to the ASGSR community include (but again, not limited to) fluid physics, combustion, materials, and acceleration in altered gravity environments. The categories of papers in the journal are Short Communication, Methods, Research, Review and Hypothesis. Guidelines for each category can be found in the Instructions to Authors, and you may feel free to contact any of the members of the Editorial team for guidance at any time.
The value of the journal to ASGSR, and to the scientific community, depends heavily on the quality and number of articles submitted. We look forward to receiving many high-quality papers that strongly reflect the exciting research of our members. We are the face of ASGSR.
As always, do not hesitate to e-mail with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
Best regards, Anna-Lisa Paul alp@ufl.edu Editor

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
KineMed, Inc. (www.kinemed.com) announced today that David Fineman, KineMeds CEO will present at the 2013 Biotech Showcase Conference on Monday, January 7th at 2:00 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Parc 55 Windham Hotel -- Union Square, San Francisco.
Mr. Finemans presentation entitled Functionally Interpretable Translational Biomarkers for the Next Generation of Disease Management will present powerful examples of KineMeds new class of kinetic biomarker across the spectrum of medicines development and clinical care, from identifying the molecular causes of disease, to the pairing of drugs with diagnostics to treat patients more effectively.
KineMeds unique signatures of disease state are derived from its proprietary Network Dynamics platform, which reveals causal relationships underlying the biology of disease mechanisms. These measurements of change are derived from ultra-sensitive, high-throughput mass spectroscopy of the entire proteome and metabolome.
As our industry looks towards personalized medicine and the next generation of disease management, the indispensable role of biomarkers becomes increasingly clear, said Mr. Fineman. We are offering a truly universal method that is fully translational from preclinical R&D to clinical diagnostic measurements, all from a single drop of blood. At Biotech Showcase 2013, we will highlight successful examples of our unique approach across key indications including neurodegeneration, muscle wasting and fibrotic disease, showing how these techniques are becoming central to mainstream pharmaceutical development and disease management strategies.

Excerpt from:
The First Functionally Interpretable Systems Biology Platform for Personalized Medicine and Drug Development
Scientists and educators think they know how to keep students studying biology in college rather than giving up in frustration after an especially difficult course or two. They know, for example, that students must explore scientific concepts rather than just memorizethem.
The problem is the recommendations a national group has made remain just recommendations. Now another group is working to take those ideas from theory to practice in universitiesnationwide.
That group includes David Marcey, a professor at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. Marcey is one of 40 fellows selected for the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Science Education, which is trying to improve how colleges teach lifesciences.
The work is important because so many students give up on biology or other life sciences after sometimes challenging, but essential, courses such as freshman biology, Marceysaid.
"We have a very leaky ... pipeline," Marcey said. "Many students are interested in science entering college, and the attrition rate is phenomenal, especially among underrepresented groups" low-income students and those who are the first in their families to go tocollege.
Marcey's group has a year to take recommendations from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Foundation and start making them reality. The group met for the first time in October and will meet again in June. Meanwhile, it has broken into four groups that talk monthly byphone.
"We're trying to build a framework that will spark the adoption of (those) recommendations at the department level nationally," Marceysaid.
Some universities already have adopted the group's overall approach, including the University of San Diego, where Rick Gonzalez, a member of the group, teachesbiology.
When Gonzalez teaches freshmen, he sends them out to do their own investigations, like having them find 30 plants of the same species, measure the plants' leaves and collect thedata.
"They're actually asking questions, then making measurements to answer those questions," Gonzalezsaid.

Intro Ima rap about the way evolution arises So I highly advise you pay attention Evolution arises thru four mechanisms These four include natural selection, Gene flow, genetic drift, and mutation So listen up folks and cut out all the hating Verse One I only help my neighbors I never help the haters So ima give you a real quick lesson About evolution In this 4 minute session Evolution today is defined as the process whereby new species Arise from earlier species due to the series of changes in the earlier beings What kind of changes? Well, just look at the many phases and stages That all living things goes through It #39;s not just a point of view It #39;s a critical review So be sure to remember And to never forget the correct Central idea of evolution Some might thing it #39;s an illusion But it #39;s proven That we all come from a common ancestor Just as you and your cousins come from a common grandmother Verse Two Lets give props to the famous Mr Charles Darwin Who started Traveling to many places And receiving valuable information Leading to the four mechanisms of evolution So pay attention cause here comes natural selection I #39;ll give you a visual perception then I #39;ll give you my definition Natural selection refers to the process of individuals in a population that possess, Certain heritable traits that eventually, Survive more and go out and make more progeny Than those individuals who lack those traits So over time a population, will change Verse Three The next mechanism that I ...

Feeling a compulsion to spend money even though there is nothing you really need?
Dont worry, its just biology. The Australian Retailers Association predicts $14.8 billion will be spent in the coming weeks, helped along by human nature and the fear that if youre not in the shops, youre missing out.
As human beings, you assume that if lots of people want something, then we need to be part of it it is the scarcity effect basically, Dr Paul Harrison, a senior lecturer in consumer behaviour and advertising at the Deakin Graduate School of Business, said.
If lots of people want it, it has more value. If we are looking around and everyone is grabbing for towels, even if we dont need them, we feel that if we miss out which the whole scarcity thing is; well miss out on something important.

That is part of what makes us human we are really responding to animal instincts at sale time and research has actually shown that a different form of thinking goes on in our brain when we see words like 'sale' or 'free'.
We actually over ride the rational part of our brain with the emotional part of our brain, so it is a chemical process as much as anything else.
That psychological response, Dr Harrison said, was helped along by marketing messages.
In a positive light, I would say that people tend to respond well to marketing messages, but in a negative light, you could probably argue that people have a tendency to look at what other people are doing and what messages are being broadcast to help us to make decisions; so if we are constantly being told that these sales are amazing and lots of people are going to go there, then theres a degree of behaviour which suggests maybe if I dont go, Ill miss out.
One of the really interesting things is the way retailers are saying it is not going to be a great year, it is only a growth of three to four percent, but in reality, that kind of growth is pretty good, we just got used to unreasonable amounts of growth from the early '90s until recently, particularly for retailers.

Genetics and Human Biology
Prerequisite: Successful completion of high school level Biology It can be argued that an understanding of the human body, and how it works, is one of the most important biological disciplines that a person can explore. After all, our bodies are with us no matter where we go or what we do! From the DNA that ultimately determines all of our traits and how every cell in our body works to the complex interactions of our organ systems, the human body is an incredible, complex machine that must be able to adapt to changes in both the internal and external environment. In this full year course we will look at the human body from a variety of different levels by combining an in-depth study of DNA and genetics to an exploration of the structure and functions of the body from the cells and tissues to the organ system level. Through our study of genetics, we will look at how traits are passed from one generation to the next, how our DNA creates and controls the cells of our bodies, and how human traits have changed over time. These topics will be combined with deep study of human anatomy (the structures of the body) and physiology (how the structures of the body work). As a vehicle for discussions, we #39;ll examine the causes and treatments of a variety of diseases, both genetic and infectious. In addition, we will explore new and emerging research in the field along with the social and ethical controversies and questions that often accompany technological advances.

Systems Biology: Where Computer Science, Engineering and Biology Meet
During the last decade an entirely new approach to studying biology has emerged from the collaboration of traditional biologists with those trained in other fields. New measurement techniques are used to observe thousands of properties of cells, and algorithmic approaches are applied to assemble these data into a coherent picture of how cells function in particular conditions. These methods are beginning to reveal previously unrecognized cellular pathways that could be targeted to treat diseases.

Neglected Space: Imogen Heap Lyrics
You might have to turn the volume up for this one. This is Neglected Space, by Imogen Heap, and nobody had made a lyric video for it, and most of the lyric sites over on Google are wrong, so I decided this was one I was going to do. I was going to make some Florence + the Machine videos with my Christmas present, but they already have too many. So, I remembered my Biology teacher Ms. Sobes talking to us about entropy, and that reminded me of this song, so thanks Ms. Sobes. I don #39;t own this song, or any of the pictures, or any of the instruments used in this song, or a neglected space...... nope, not that either.

DNA cloning.mp4
For more information, log on to- shomusbiology.weebly.com Download the study materials here- shomusbiology.weebly.com Molecular cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.[1] The use of the word cloning refers to the fact that the method involves the replication of a single DNA molecule starting from a single living cell to generate a large population of cells containing identical DNA molecules. Molecular cloning generally uses DNA sequences from two different organisms: the species that is the source of the DNA to be cloned, and the species that will serve as the living host for replication of the recombinant DNA. Molecular cloning methods are central to many contemporary areas of modern biology and medicine.[2] In a conventional molecular cloning experiment, the DNA to be cloned is obtained from an organism of interest, then treated with enzymes in the test tube to generate smaller DNA fragments. Subsequently, these fragments are then combined with vector DNA to generate recombinant DNA molecules. The recombinant DNA is then introduced into a host organism (typically an easy-to-grow, benign, laboratory strain of E. coli bacteria). This will generate a population of organisms in which recombinant DNA molecules are replicated along with the host DNA. Because they contain foreign DNA fragments, these are transgenic or genetically-modified ...From:Suman BhattacharjeeViews:0 0ratingsTime:04:24More inEducation
