Unpacking docent practice in free choice science learning settings : a qualitative study documenting the what and whys of docent interpretive practice

Creator:: Good, Laura H.
Abstract:: Museum settings including aquariums, zoos and science centers rely heavily on their volunteer docent populations to interact with and communicate science and conservation concepts to the visiting public. The interactions docents have with museum visitors are important to meeting the educational expectations of museums and improving public science literacy as...

Phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, epigenetics, and prostate cancer prevention

Creator:: Watson, Gregory, Beaver, Laura M., Williams, David, Dashwood, Roderick H., and Ho, Emily
Abstract:: Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated a reduced risk of prostate cancer associated with cruciferous vegetable intake. Follow-up studies have attributed this protective activity to the metabolic products of glucosinolates, a class of secondary metabolites produced by crucifers. The metabolic products of glucoraphanin and glucobrassicin, sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol respectively, have been the...

Gender Pluralism in Problem-Solving Software

Creator:: Burnett, Margaret M., Beckwith, Laura, Wiedenbeck, Susan, Fleming, Scott D., Cao, Jill, Park, Thomas H., Grigoreanu, Valentina, and Rector, Kyle
Abstract:: Although there has been significant research into gender regarding educational and workplace practices, there has been little awareness of gender differences as they pertain to software tools, such as spreadsheet applications, that try to support end users in problem-solving tasks. Although such software tools are intended to be gender agnostic,...

Effects of Sulforaphane and 3,3'-Diindolylmethane on Genome-Wide Promoter Methylation in Normal Prostate Epithelial Cells and Prostate Cancer Cells

Creator:: Wong, Carmen P., Hsu, Anna, Buchanan, Alex, Palomera-Sanchez, Zoraya, Beaver, Laura M., Houseman, E. Andres, Williams, David E., Dashwood, Roderick H., and Ho, Emily
Abstract:: Epigenetic changes, including aberrant DNA methylation, result in altered gene expression and play an important role in carcinogenesis. Phytochemicals such as sulforaphane (SFN) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) are promising chemopreventive agents for the treatment of prostate cancer. Both have been shown to induce re-expression of genes, including tumor suppressor genes silenced...

Historical Biogeography and Diversification of Truffles in the Tuberaceae and Their Newly Identified Southern Hemisphere Sister Lineage

Creator:: Bonito, Gregory, Smith, Matthew E., Nowak, Michael, Healy, Rosanne A., Guevara, Gonzalo, Cazares, Efren, Kinoshita, Akihiko, Nouhra, Eduardo R., Domınguez, Laura S., Tedersoo, Leho, Murat, Claude, Wang, Yun, Arroyo Moreno, Baldomero, Pfister, Donald H., Nara, Kazuhide, Zambonelli, Alessandra, Trappe, James M., and Vilgalys, Rytas
Abstract:: Truffles have evolved from epigeous (aboveground) ancestors in nearly every major lineage of fleshy fungi. Because accelerated rates of morphological evolution accompany the transition to the truffle form, closely related epigeous ancestors remain unknown for most truffle lineages. This is the case for the quintessential truffle genus Tuber, which includes...

Metabolic reprogramming and dysregulated metabolism: cause, consequence and/or enabler of environmental carcinogenesis?

Creator:: Robey, R. Brooks, Weisz, Judith, Kuemmerle, Nancy B., Salzberg, Anna C., Berg, Arthur, Brown, Dustin G., Kubik, Laura, Palorini, Roberta, Al-Mulla, Fahd, Al-Temaimi, Rabeah, Colacci, Anna Maria, Mondello, Chiara, Raju, Jayadev, Woodrick, Jordan, Scovassi, A.

Abstract:: Environmental contributions to cancer development are widely accepted, but only a fraction of all pertinent exposures have probably been identified. Traditional toxicological approaches to the problem have largely focused on the effects of individual agents at singular endpoints. As such, they have incompletely addressed both the pro-carcinogenic contributions of environmentally...

The effect of environmental chemicals on the tumor microenvironment

Ivana, Singh, Neetu, Soucek, Laura, Vermeulen, Louis, Whitfield, Jonathan R., Woodrick, Jordan, Colacci, Annamaria, Bisson, William H., and Felsher, Dean W.
Abstract:: Potentially carcinogenic compounds may cause cancer through direct DNA damage or through indirect cellular or physiological effects. To study possible carcinogens, the fields of endocrinology, genetics, epigenetics, medicine, environmental health, toxicology, pharmacology and oncology must be considered. Disruptive chemicals may also contribute to multiple stages of tumor development through effects...

Abstract:: Exotic species dominate many communities; however the functional significance of species’ biogeographic origin remains highly contentious. This debate is fuelled in part by the lack of globally replicated, systematic data assessing the relationship between species provenance, function and response to perturbations. We examined the abundance of native and exotic plant...
