Carl Wieman, recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics in 2001 and the Carnegie Foundation’s US University Professor of the Year in 2004, currently directs the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative at the University of British Columbia and the Science Education Initiative at the University of Colorado. Prior to joining UBC, he served on the faculty at CU from 1984 to 2006 as a distinguished pr...

The CoVis Project: Building a Large-Scale Science Education Testbed

This paper describes the construction and research program of the Learning Through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project. a testbed for exploring science education reform with telecommunications technology. The CoVis testbed is contrasted with other forms of cdu-cational research in an " e c o l o ~ y of paradigms." which argues that testbeds are in fact a new setting for research with di...

Large Scale Simulation for Education in Forensic DNA Science

Forensic science education is a rapidly expanding field with several universities adding degrees in many forensic science disciplines. Concurrently, with this expansion is a new push for forensic science education in the secondary schools. This generation of students is also very adept at computer generated environments. The logical progression is therefore to provide students and instructors w...

sleep and anesthesia: can we use a physiologic model to decrease risks of a medical intervention

anesthesiology is one of the most important creations of the modern science, basically based on the anesthetic drugs; however, there are a few concerns regarding the effects of the anesthetic drugs. would there be any progress in the current trend of anesthesiology, both clinically and basically. there would be a possibility to use the physiologic mechanisms of sleep to be incorporated into cli...
