Pelotas is a city in the extreme south of Brazil, near the border of Uruguay, with 214 000 urban inhabitants in 1982. At the time, we were assistant professors, each working in one of the two medical schools in the city, and both undergoing post-graduate training at the University of London. We were inspired by the findings of the British perinatal study, and one of us (FCB) decided to do a sim...

This year we enjoyed a large number of very highly meritorious applications for our annual Toxics Travel Award.

Biological phenomena are based on assemblies of bio-molecules, whose properties depend on structural and dynamic features of their subunits. Experimental studies of such systems face limitations, typically yielding high resolution models of subunits, or low resolution information for the whole assembly. This project focuses on combinatorial algorithms for the connectivity inference problem for ...

The focus of this article is the increasingly narrow range of therapeutic orientations represented in clinical psychology graduate training programs, particularly within the most research-oriented programs. Data on the self-reported therapeutic orientations of faculty at “clinical science” Ph.D. programs, Ph.D. programs at comprehensive universities in clinical and in counseling psychology, Psy...

The first PhD specialty program in Geropsychology that launched in fall, 2004 at CU-Colorado Springs is described. Consistent with a scientist-practitioner model, the curriculum sequence builds systematically from basic to complex knowledge and skills across the domains of scientific psychology, research methodology, general clinical, geropsychology science, and clinical geropsychology. Practic...
