[Karl Thordarson], 32, has grown a beard for the assignment. He gets to wear a lavish 17th-century costume with a plumed hat. A small stage has been erected in the planetarium chamber, with a set that includes a desk where [Galileo Galilei] writes with a quill pen, and a replica wooden telescope modelled on his "optik tube" of 1609. Galileo's story is an amazing story of scientific discovery, but also of personal discovery," says [Scott Young]. "He was the first person to see the craters on the moon and the moons of Jupiter.... "Some (skeptics) chose not to look through his telescope, suggesting that it was some trick of magic," says Thordarson. "He was convinced that if others would simply look, they would understand the same thing he did.

What an odd letter. Writer N. Ann Furlotte complains about Canada's turn to the right and how she will not return to live in Canada while Stephen Harper is the prime minister. Yet at the same time, the writer points out some of the many differences between Canada and the United States, and how Canada is a much better country than our neighbours to the south. Yet the letter writer continues to live in the U.S. She won't live in Canada under Harper, but she will live in the U.S. under President George W. Bush? Strong laboratory capacity is a vital element of our country's work in the field of public health. The scientific discovery that takes place every day in our National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg is one of the reasons Canada is viewed by many as a world leader in publi...

The hippocampus and surrounding regions of the medial temporal lobe play a central role in all neuropsychological theories of memory. It is still a matter of debate, however, how best to characterise the functions of these regions, the hippocampus in particular. In this article, I examine the proposal that the hippocampus is a "stupid" module whose specific domain is consciously apprehended information. A number of interesting consequences for the organisation of memory and the brain follow from this proposal and the assumptions it entails. These, in turn, have important implications for neuropsychological theories of recent and remote episodic, semantic, and spatial memory and for the functions that episodic memory may serve in perception, comprehension, planning, imagination, and prob...

An ethnographic study explored how 41 grade 11 students enrolled in biology, chemistry, physics and psychology classes completed a modified scientific literature review (SLR). Researchers questioned whether the use of primary readings from peer-review science journals promoted increased student learning, the ability to handle scientific information, the stimulation of critical thinking skills, development of a deeper understanding of a scientific topic, and the preparation for collegiate research. Data were collected in four phases: Preliminary interviews; debriefing interviews after completion of the SLRs; content analysis of student work; and face-to-face interviews two years after the SLR unit with self-selected participants from the original sample. Findings indicate that students w...
