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:• 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).• 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.

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>

Strength in global equities and hopes of better Chinese economic data later this week have been seen by some traders as providing support for copper this morning. In fact, December copper prices at their lows yesterday were down a rather significant 13 cents a pound from their recent highs. Other traders feel that copper might have been partially undermined by a rather large daily build in LME copper stocks of 6,075 tons overnight.<br /></p></div></div></div>
