- Evolutionary Biology for the Future (ActionBioScience.org)
"Most people are unaware of uses of evolutionary biology. Public non-appreciation of evolutionary biology may depend as much on its perceived irrelevance as anything else. Yet, evolution, especially microevolution, has been fundamental to some social improvements this century, and it promises to be profoundly important to biomedical technology in the next generation." 9-05
- Evolutionary Biology (Evonet.edu)
"The unity, diversity, and adaptive characteristics of organisms are consequences of evolutionary history, and can be understood fully only in this light. The science of evolutionary biology is the study of the history of life and of the processes that lead to its unity and diversity. Evolutionary biology sheds light on phenomena studied in the fields of molecular biology, developmental biology, physiology, behavior, paleontology, ecology, and biogeography, complementing these disciplines' study of biological mechanisms with explanations based on history and adaptation. Throughout the biological sciences, the evolutionary perspective provides a useful, often indispensable framework for organizing and interpreting observations and for making predictions. As was emphasized in a recent report from the United States National Academy of Sciences 37, biological evolution is 'the most important concept in modern biology – a concept essential to understanding key aspects of living things.' " 9-05
- Biology, Boys, and Instructional Strategies (ABC News)
"In the complaint that he lodged with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, [Doug] Anglin, 17, claimed that girls faced fewer restrictions from teachers at Milton High School in Milton, Mass., and that boys were more likely to be punished."
"The complaint comes at a time when boys' struggles in school are getting close examination. According to a 2005 report by the Educational Equity Center of the Academy for Educational Development in Washington D.C., boys around the country are increasingly falling behind girls academically, and are more likely to get suspended. And experts told ABC News that Anglin's assessment has merit and describes what prevails in most American classrooms." 01-06

- -04-24-06 The Sense of Taste (Kimball's Biology)
"Taste is the ability to respond to dissolved molecules and ions called tastants."
"Humans detect taste with taste receptor cells. These are clustered in taste buds. Each taste bud has a pore that opens out to the surface of the tongue enabling molecules and ions taken into the mouth to reach the receptor cells inside." 04-06
- -02-15-09 Biology and Religion (Time.com)
"If you've ever prayed so hard that you've lost all sense of a larger world outside yourself, that's your parietal lobe at work. If you've ever meditated so deeply that you'd swear the very boundaries of your body had dissolved, that's your parietal too. There are other regions responsible for making your brain the spiritual amusement park it can be: your thalamus plays a role, as do your frontal lobes. But it's your parietal lobe — a central mass of tissue that processes sensory input — that may have the most transporting effect." 02-09
