Peter Steinberg is lecturing at a summer school in Florida, and has posted the slides for the three lectures he gave about recent work at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider on Long Island. The first lecture is linked from that post, and the other two are available (at the moment) from links on the sidebar.
These are gigantic PDF files-- the first one especially, which clocks in at 32.4 MB-- but the first lecture is a very nice introduction to the physics they're exploring at RHIC. I haven't looked at the other two yet, but if they're as good as the first, they'll be worth the long download.

I just got the teaching schedule for Spring, so I decided to follow up on last week's post by putting, under the fold, a series of short posts I wrote when I taught the last time, musing about teaching in general and teaching biology to adults in particular. These are really a running commentary…
Welcome to the new edition of Animalcules!
First, a few housekeeping notes. If you note the schedule, I've not yet extended it beyond June 1st. I think that, at least for the summer months, Animalcules will be a once-monthly carnival, rather than every other week. If things pick up after that…

We've been fans of the Molecule of the Month series by David Goodsell, for many years. Not only is Dr. Goodsell a talented artist but he writes very clear descriptions of the ways molecules like proteins, RNA, and DNA work together and function inside a cell.
To learn about proteins and their…
This is exciting for me because in a month and a half I'm starting in the physics graduate school at SUNY Stony Brook, which is very closely associated with RHIC and the Brookhaven National Laboratory. I got a presentation somewhat like this when we toured the facility during the campus visitation weekend, but it's always cool to get more information.
