Most research in the life sciences involves a core set of molecular-based equipment and methods, for which there is no shortage of step-by-step protocols. Nonetheless, there remains an exceedingly high number of inquiries placed to commercial technical support groups, especially regarding problems. Molecular Biology Problem Solver: A Laboratory Guide asks the reader to consider crucial questions, such as: Have you selected the most appropriate research strategy? Have you identified the issues critical to your successful application of a technique? Are you familiar with the limitations of a given technique? When should common procedural rules of thumb not be applied? What strategies could you apply to resolve a problem? A unique question-based format reviews common assumptions and laboratory practices, with the aim of offering a firm understanding of how techniques and procedures work, as well as how to avoid problems. Some major issues explored by the book's expert contributors include: Working safely with biological samples and radioactive materials DNA and RNA purification PCR Protein and nucleid acid hybridization Prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems Properly using and maintaining laboratory equipment

Exploring Biology in the Laboratory: Core Concepts is a comprehensive manual appropriate for introductory biology lab courses. This edition is designed for courses populated by nonmajors or for majors courses where abbreviated coverage is desired. Based on the two-semester version of Exploring Biology in the Laboratory, 3e, this Core Concepts edition features a streamlined set of clearly written activities with abbreviated coverage of the biodiversity of life. These exercises emphasize the unity of all living things and the evolutionary forces that have resulted in, and continue to act on, the diversity that we see around us today.

Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?

Investigations in General Biology presents an overview of studies in general biology, including behavior, biological models, cell activities, organization of plants and animals, population genetics, and evolution. The opening chapters deal with the significance of accurate observations of systematic ordering of biological events in plants and animals. The use of laboratory tools for biological analysis and the application of such tools in biological diffusion process are also considered. This book describes the use of model to investigate cellular phenomenon and an application of a valid model of cell membrane function using microscope. The responses in solutions of different concentrations are recorded. Considerable chapters discuss refined experimental approach to testing a biological hypothesis, with emphasis on the idea of using a control. The control indicates the amount of response that occurs due to variables not anticipated. Furthermore, this book discusses the organization of the flowering plant, including those organs involved in maintenance as well as animal organization, particularly, in crayfish and frog. It presents the proper statistical procedures that can be used by geneticist to determine probability genetic ratio. It explains gene frequencies of characters in human populations and consequences of nonrandom reproduction and subsequent departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Finally, the concluding chapters deal with physiological attributes and classification of animal and plant population. General biology students and instructors will greatly benefit from this book.

"Lab Dynamics is a book about the challenges to doing science and dealing with the individuals involved, including oneself. The authors, a scientist and a psychotherapist, draw on principles of group and behavioral psychology but speak to scientists in their own language about their own experiences. They offer in-depth, practical advice, real-life examples, and exercises tailored to scientific and technical workplaces on topics as diverse as conflict resolution, negotiation, dealing with supervision, working with competing peers, and making the transition from academia to industry." "This is a uniquely valuable contribution to the scientific literature, on a subject of direct importance to lab heads, postdocs, and students. It is also required reading for senior staff concerned about improving efficiency and effectiveness in academic and industrial research."--BOOK JACKET
