NIH Advisory Group Recommends Changes for Biomedical Research Workforce :: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) should make changes to workforce policies in order to promote the long-term sustainability of the biomedical research workforce, according to a new report by a government advisory group. NIH must address the increasing completion time for graduate degrees, low postdoctoral pay, and declining proportion of young researchers who obtain tenure-track positions.

The report by a working group of the NIH Advisory Committee to the Director considered the future of the nation’s biomedical research workforce. The goal of the study was to ensure “future US competitiveness and innovation in biomedical research by creating pathways through undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training” that attract and retain the best scientists and prepare...

Want to get teens interested in math and science? Target their parents :: (Association for Psychological Science) Increasing the number of students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math - the STEM disciplines - is vital to national competitiveness in the global economy and to the development of a strong workforce. But the pipeline leading toward STEM careers begins leaking in high school, when students choose not to take advanced STEM courses. Now a new study goes beyond the classroom to examine the unique role that parents can play in promoting students' STEM motivation. (Source: EurekAlert! - Social and Behavioral Science)

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:&bull; Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).&bull; E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Investing in our future: White House honors Dr. T. Berry Brazelton :: Investing in our future means investing in our children.
That's the message that Boston Children's renowned pediatrician T.Berry Brazelton wants everyone to hear, loud and clear.
Brazelton was one of 11 individuals from Head Start programs around the country who was honored by the White House on June 18th as a "Champion of Change." The Champions of Change program is part of President Obama's Winning the Future Initiative. If anyone has spent his life thinking about our future, it's Brazelton.
Along with guiding millions of parents in raising their children, Brazelton collaborated with Ed Zigler and Julius Richmond to create Head Start, a comprehensive early education program for low-income children that, as he says, gives "every child a chance to make the American dream come ...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Romney Now Says DREAMers Who Receive Work Permits Can Stay :: <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Young undocumented immigrants who receive work permits from a new Obama administration initiative could remain in the country under a Mitt Romney administration, the Republican nominee said on Tuesday.</p><p>The new initiative, formally known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, allows undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country before they were 16 and avoided criminal records to apply for immunity from deportation and a temporary work permit. </p><p>While Republicans condemned the measure as an end-run around Congress that upends immigration law by offering undocumented immigrants amnesty, Romney was more cautious in his response. He repeatedly deflected questions about how he would approach the matter if elected, opting instead to assail Obama for enacting a temporary fix in lieu of comprehensive immigration reform</p><p>But Romney clarified his position in an interview with the Denver Post, saying he would not interfere with immigrants who had applied for and received work permits.</p><p>"The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa, should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. I'm not going to take something that they've purchased," Romney said. "Before those visas have expired we will have the full immigration reform plan that I've proposed."</p><p>After adopting a hardline immigration stance during the Republican primaries, when he advocated "self-deportation" and praised Arizona's controversial new immigration law, Romney has softened his rhetoric somewhat.  His proposals for reform have focused mostly on facilitating legal immigration, something he emphasized again to the Denver Post.</p><p>"I actually will propose a piece of legislation which will reform our immigration system to improve legal immigration so people don't have to hire lawyers to figure out how to get here legally," Romney said.</p><p>Polls show Romney trailing Obama among Latino voters by a yawning margin, a gap that could be pivotal in swing states, like Colorado, with booming Hispanic populations. Romney has sought to erode the president's advantage by capitalizing on disillusionment with the fact that Obama failed to deliver on his campaign vow to pursue comprehensive immigration reform.</p><p>"The president promised in his first year, his highest priority, that he would reform immigration and he didn't, and I will," Romney told the Denver Post. </p><p>Romney's promise would likely prove difficult to fulfill given the divisiveness of the issue. Despite deporting unprecedented numbers of undocumented immigrants, President Obama has been unable to secure enough bipartisan support for immigration legislation.</p><p>The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals</p></div></div></div>
