The move to make science exams more challenging is being backed by Mark Carrington, the University of Cambridge biochemist who is chairman of the school's governing body: "I have two sons who have done science GCSE and A-levels, and I found that the science they did was nice and cuddly science which didn't provide the depth of understanding you need to progress," he says.
Such understanding is crucial to progress.
In this new style, lectures and hands-on exercises follow workflows typically encountered by researchers in that topic so that researchers gain an understanding of how to progress through analysis of their data (detailed course objectives and outlines for each of the niche-topic workshops can be found at bioinformatics.ca/workshops).ca/workshops
"Please tell me - I have longed to find out!" Needless to say, Socrates swiftly and comprehensively demolished Meno's efforts to define virtue, making him exclaim at last, "I'm thoroughly confused; I don't know what to think!" To which Socrates replied, "Now that you know you're confused, we can begin to progress towards understanding".
Thanks to progress in understanding the pathophysiology of these lesions, several lines of treatment have been developed in clinical practice.
For me personally, Montagna was an invaluable mentor and his life work has helped us to progress in understanding brain function.
The biological significance of ultrafast folding remains uncertain, but its practical significance is crucial to progress in understanding how proteins fold.
Quantifying and understanding these linkages is essential to progress more comprehensive analyses of the impact of incentives on ecosystem services, and the design of incentives capable of realizing synergies and avoiding tensions.
It is hoped that this process may contribute and not detract from the urgent need to progress understanding and peace, truth and reconciliation.
To progress understanding of boulders in rocky coastal environments, qualitative and quantitative data are acquired during a near time inspection following extreme storms in winter 2013/14 with special focus on an extraordinary boulder site near Doolin at the entrance to Galway Bay (central west coast of Ireland).
The article describes how the application of experimental methods developed over the last 40 years (work function, photoemission, photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy) enables our understanding of oxygen chemisorption to progress in a step-wise manner, with STM providing the ultimate atom-resolved evidence for the dynamics involved.
