Video Title: (Ysleta High School - Rio Research Roundup) Video Duration: 1:01 From: GulfMexicoFoundation Category: Education this video shows students from ysleta high school environmental science academy gathering water samples from the rio grande river near their school in in el paso, texas. as part of the rio research roundup project organized by the gulf of mexico foundation, they tested the water for 10 chemicals, measured the ph and salinity, then sent the samples to be part of the "ceremonial mixing" of the rio grande watershed at the mouth of the river in south texas on october 16, dia del rio.

Video Title: (Cancer Specialist- Endocrine Disruptors Mutagens In Gulf Are 900 Lb Gorilla In Room) Video Duration: 2:26 From: AwakeInLA Category: News and Politics dr. michael harbut is professor of internal medicine and director of the environmental cancer program at karmanos cancer insute at wayne state university in detroit. dr. harbut is one of the foremost experts in the country on the health impact of petroleum products and dispersants. unlike many of the "medical experts" in the gulf of mexico, dr. harbut is not on bp's payroll, has not accepted any of bp's "research" grants, and is willing to speak the truth. here is a partial transcript of his research findings: there is data that shows that some of the animal life, some of the fish life, may eat some of these petroleum products and there may be mutagens or carcinogens formed in the life form, in the fish, or the sea, living creatures, which ultimately could become food, in terms of mutagens and what are called endocrine disruptors. many of the chemicals in the petroleum mixture have been implicated as endocrine disruptors, meaning that they are recognized by the body as being hormones, most often female hormones. there is discussion, and there is information in the literature which says that the ingestion of agents which cause the creation of these endocrine disruptors may contribute to the epidemic in the us of early onset of menses, precocious puberty, and testicular abnormalities that we've seen in animal life. nobody knows for sure, but it's certainly the 900-lb gorilla in the room, along with the other two 900 lb gorillas being the mutagens and the carcinogens.

Video Title: (Blossoms - Discovering Medicines Using Robots Amp Computers) Video Duration: 28:24 From: mittechtv Category: Education visit the mit blossoms website at blossoms.mit.edu video summary: scientists who are working to discover new medicines often use robots to prepare samples of cells, allowing them to test chemicals to identify those that might be used to treat diseases. students will meet a scientist who works to identify new medicines. she created free software that "looks" at images of cells and determines which images show cells that have responded to the potential medicines. students will learn about how this technology is currently enabling research to identify new antibiotics to treat tuberculosis. students will complete hands-on activities that demonstrate how new medicines can be discovered using robots and computer software, starring the student as "the computer." in the process, the students learn about experimental design, including positive and negative controls. students should have some introductory knowledge about the following topics: 1 biology: students should have a basic understanding of infection and good hygiene, they should know what bacteria and cells are 2 chemistry: the students should know what a chemical compound molecule is. they should have an understanding that medicines, also called drugs, are chemical compounds 3 basic experimental design: students should understand the terms samples and testing. all hand-outs necessary for this video lesson can be downloaded belo see the original video and more on mit techtv - techtv.mit.edu Tags: "Most Featured", Mit "mitosis", "mitch hedberg", "mitre 10", "mitochondria", "mitsubishi tv", "mitchell and ness", "mitch hedberg quotes", "mitsubishi canada", "mitch albom", Mit Mittechtv Mit Techtv Mit Blossoms Stem Blended Learning Oer High School Biology Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Positive Control Negative Control Alexander Fleming Staphylococcus Aureus Penicillin M Tuberculosis Bacteria Rifampicin Cellprofiler
