Ramanathan, Vaidehi; Makoni, Sinfree – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2007
Recent scholarship on "disabilities" and bodies has tended to be extreme in its orientation and has, on the whole, not been able to speak of chronic disabilities and bodily breakdown in humanistic ways. In its verve toward finding "cures," biomedical discourses, from which societal discourses draw their strength, have emphasized malfunctioning…

Triggle, David J.; Miller, Kenneth W. – American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 2002
Expresses concern that the dramatic increase in federal support of biomedical research, specifically the doubling of the National Institutes of Health budget, is producing an excess of Ph.D. graduates in biomedical sciences. Suggests that continual increases in program enrollment are primarily driven by personnel needs of the academic research…

De Mattos, J. C. P.; Dantas, F. J. S.; Caldeira-de-Araujo, A.; Moraes, M. O. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2004
Good quality scientific teaching depends on the ability of researchers to translate laboratory experiments into high school and undergraduate classes, bridging the advanced and basic science with common knowledge. A fast-growing field in biomedical sciences is oxidative stress, which has been associated to several diseases, including cancer and…

DiCecco, J.; Wu, J.; Kuwasawa, K.; Sun, Y. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2007
It is challenging for biomedical engineering programs to incorporate an indepth study of the systemic interdependence of cells, tissues, and organs into the rigorous mathematical curriculum that is the cornerstone of engineering education. To be sure, many biomedical engineering programs require their students to enroll in anatomy and physiology…

Moghe, Prabhas V.; Roth, Charles M. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2006
A wide range of biotechnological and biomedical processes and products involves the design, synthesis, and analysis of biological interfaces. Such biointerfaces mediate interactions between living cells or intracellular species and designed materials or biologics. Incorporating the experiences of a NSF-­sponsored IGERT (Integrative Graduate…

Spiro, Rand J.; And Others – 1988
This report argues that there exists a pervasive tendency for analogies to contribute to the development of entrenched misconceptions in the form of reducing complex new knowledge to the core of a source analogy. The report presents a taxonomy of ways that simple analogy induces conceptual error and an alternative approach involving integrated…
