Each student determines an individual research agenda within the broader field of performance studies, using faculty resources to develop both a clear field specialization and a sense of interdisciplinary innovation.
Cell ablation or silencing strategies, where cell markers such as glutamate transporters or sodium channels are used to define and delete/disrupt subsets of sensory neurons, have shown that there is clear specialization in terms of noxious input into the dorsal horn (Abrahamsen et al., 2008, Lagerström et al., 2010, Lagerström et al., 2011, Minett et al., 2012, Mishra et al., 2011).
Across colonies, there is a clear positive relationship between specialization and the number of working periods achieved (Fig. S 8 in the ESM).
The fruit fly, Drosophila sechellia, provides a clear example of adaptive specialization within the Drosophila simulans clade, which includes D. simulans, D. sechellia, and D. mauritiana.
Even though sharing is integral to the co-director position, you still need to develop specialization and a clear division of labor with your co-director.
Resource influx has a strong effect on the degree of specialization, with a clear transition between minimal diversification at high influx and multiple species evolving at low resource influx.
Nor is it clear that the various badges, certificates, or specializations have a clear value in the labor market.
This work is interesting in that such a clear result, that linkage of functions drives specialization, arises from such a simple, abstract model.
In third and fifth year students, 28% had a clear idea at the outset about the specialization they wanted to practice, while 54.6% indicated that their preferences had changed over the course of their studies.
I graduated from the University of Michigan last year with degrees in environmental science and political science, and a specialization in urban systems, but without a clear sense of what to do next.
