On 23 August, all that changed as news broke that federal funding now hangs in the balance: a US judge has agreed with a lawsuit contending the research is illegal. http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=37m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 Follow this fast-unfolding story on our stem cell special as Nature reports on the implications for science. http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=54m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 LATEST: Court of Appeals hears arguments in stem cell case http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=29m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 University of California enters stem cell legal fray. http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=39m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 US government argues for stem cell stay http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=18m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 Senators preview stem cell debate-to-come http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=17m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=54m=35829794r=NDU1MzI2NDEwMwS2b=2j=ODI5NjQ0MzUS1mt=1rt=0 =========================== ADVERTISEMENT =========================== Rediscover your Nature Nature has been reenergised and strengthened in print and online.

You get what you pay for OCN 201--at least in this case, if you are a student at U. Hawaii, or one of its community colleges. (Note: The tuition is pretty cheap at U. Hawaii, but the cost at its community colleges is only 1/3 of U. Hawaii's.) Science of the Sea at U. Hawaii Manoa Campus is co-taught by three professors and assisted by a group of TAs. OCN 201 at U. Hawaii Manoa Campus Science of the Sea at LCC (Leeward Community College of U. Hawaii System) is taught by one instructor (and probably no TA). OCN 201 at LCC Science of the Sea at WCC (Windward Community College of U. Hawaii System), by one instructor. OCN 201 at WCC And, I am struggling if I should apply for the job to teach this course at KCC (Kapiolani Community College of U. Hawaii System), all by myself. (Yes, the school started yesterday, and they need a new instructor to start the coming Monday! The current instructor is going to take a full-time job in California.) OCN 201 at KCC
http://sciencewatch.com/ana/hot/che/10mayjun-che/ Carbon Nanotubes Open Up to Graphene Ribbons by John Emsley Studies of graphene continue to crowd the ranks of chemistrys most-cited papers published in the last two years. Recent studies have centered on modifying carbon nanotubes into ultra-narrow ribbons of graphene. These nanoribbons, depending on their width, display either metallic conductivity or semiconductivity. Another highly cited chemistry paper describes enhancing thermoelectric performance in silicon nanowires. View Article
