First printed in the September 1529 edition.
In this dialogue addressed to his godson, Johannes Erasmius Froben, but intended for all young students of language and literature, Erasmus voices strong ...doubts about certain fads and fallacies in education and lays down some hard truths about sound learning. Unfortunately his good counsel seems to have had no effect on Erasmius, though it may have been helpful to other schoolboys who read it in theColloquies.
The familiar wordmemorandumrefers to what is known and should be kept in mind, ‘noted.’Ars notoriawas a medieval term signifying the ‘art’ of
President Hauck, Members of the Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The very great honour which you have just given me is most deeply appreciated. I have always valued my intimate associations with this ...truly beautiful state of Maine, where my Canadian parents were living when I was born and where I spent a very happy childhood. Now, as an Honorary Alumnus of the University of Maine, I shall have an even keener interest in what goes on here, particularly, of course, in teaching and research in the biological fields.
When one is born in this country of Canadian parents, one has

All this information about the relationship between DNA and various diseases and traits is only useful if we can know not just the relationships but exactly which DNA variations particular people, ...fetuses, embryos, or gametes have. Genetic testing is the process of finding that out. Genetic testing of humans has taken place for over sixty years. During that time, the methods used have varied enormously but have consistently become more precise and less expensive. This chapter will first explain five methods relevant to this book: karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), SNP chips (often called

We like to think that our work speaks for itself and that the visual appeal of our presentations has no effect on the audience’s reception of the content. In reality, the design of your presentation ...plays a major role in what your audience sees, what they focus on, and how they perceive your message. One study, by New York University Professor Jan L. Plass and others, showed that an attractive visual design (through layout, colors, and imagery) can help evoke positive emotions and foster learning. Employing great design in a technical presentation is not about making your slides “pop” or

I startedContesting Intersexwith one broad question in mind: How didintersexbecome adisorder of sex development? I’ve argued that a good part of the answer to this question has to do with medical ...authority and jurisdiction over the intersex body. While Cheryl Chase and her allies came up with and advocated for the new DSD terminology, hoping it would improve intersex medical care, the phrase was formally introduced by the medical profession. DSD nomenclature initiated the transformation of intersex advocacy from collective confrontation to contested collaboration. Today, DSD terminology has come to replace intersex language in almost
Arthur Roland Elvidge, born in London, England, in 1899,¹ immigrated to Canada with his family when he was twelve and eventually settled in Montreal. Elvidge enlisted in the Royal Canadian Army at ...seventeen and fought at Passchendaele. He obtained his MD, CM (Doctor of Medicine, Master of Surgery) from McGill University in 1924, and postgraduate degrees for research on the reticulo-endothelial system from the same institution. Penfield held Elvidge in high esteemand his words, to his life-long friend Stanley Cobb, express his feelings candidly: Arthur Elvidge, Penfield wrote,
emerged from the laboratory and put in two years as surgical intern.
Healthcare institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes are places where many people seek and receive medical services to improve their health. Yet the workers who provide that care, including ...registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), nursing assistants (NAs), and many others, are exposed to conditions on the job that threaten their own health. These hazards cover the full range of risk factors for injury and illness: biological agents such as viruses, toxic chemicals such as cleaning agents, heavy lifting and other types of forceful exertions, physical and verbal assault, and stressors with psychological as well as physiological effects
