Damasio, Antonio R., Damasio, Hanna – Scientific American, 1992
Discusses the advances made in understanding the brain structures responsible for language. Presents findings made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomographic (PET) scans to study brain activity. These findings map the structures in the brain that manipulate concepts and those that turn concepts into words. (MCO)

Crick, Francis; Koch, Christof – Scientific American, 1992
Discusses approaches to the problem presented in understanding consciousness as a yet undiscovered process of interacting neuron activity. Presents the historical context of research in the area of human awareness and identifies research necessary to scientifically explain how the brain relates to the mind. (MCO)

Peer reviewedTapper, J. – International Journal of Science Education, 1999
Presents the results of an analysis of science-classroom lab talk which focuses on topics and manner of talk as an approach to understanding the social context of undergraduate lab work. Argues that lab instructors should pay attention to how "scientific" the lab talk is, and to sociability among students. Contains 32 references.…

Peer reviewedSundberg, Marshall – Bioscience, 1991
Reviews the work of the Commission on Undergraduate Education in the Biological Sciences (CUEBS) from 1964 to 1972. Suggests that now is the appropriate time to reassess their efforts, to build on their successes, and to use their experience to attack some of the continuing problems facing biology education.

This paper analyzes discrepant findings from research on science teacher knowledge and classroom discourse. In new science teachers' classrooms, discourse during laboratory activities differed in important ways from discourse during other types of instruction. Furthermore, teacher subject-matter knowledge had effects that were not predicted by the…
