Carrying Plant Knowledge Forward into the Next Generation in the USA
This is a presentation given by Pat Harrison at the 2013 annual meeting of the Society for Economic Botany, held in Plymouth, England.
ABSTRACT:
Carrying Plant Knowledge Forward into the Next Generation in the USA
Introduction: Botany education steadily declines in the U.S. as universities eliminate traditional botany courses and plant science is integrated into interdisciplinary studies in both elementary and secondary curriculum. Botanical knowledge and expertise is essential to addressing the current and pending challenges with the environment. Surveys indicate that individuals are not being trained with the skills and knowledge needed to fill essential jobs in science and resource management. Yet never before has it been more critical to understand the pivotal role plants play in our own health and well-being. Objectives: To analyze factors contributing to a gap in botanical capacity and identify important initiatives in botanical science education. Methods:
Interviews and surveys with educators and literature reviews are used to collect data. Results: A recent study in the U.S. has identified critical gaps in botanical capacity and made recommendations to enhance education and training in the botanical sciences. Educators surveyed indicate a broad spectrum of interest, aptitude, and strategies for passing along knowledge to the next generation. Conclusions: Increasingly, non-traditional education centers are filling the role of botanical education. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) issued a call for action in higher education to move biology teaching towards reform; additionally it supports initiatives such as Planting Science and the Open Science Network for Ethnobiology that provide online resources for students and educators. The emerging field of culturally relevant ethnobotany is bridging the gap by attracting students to the field. We must continue to find effective ways to engage young minds in botanical science to ensure the transfer of critical
knowledge and skills needed to meet the challenges ahead.

Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions during hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling
“Embryonic hair follicle induction and formation are regulated by mesenchymal-epithelial interactions between specialized dermal cells and epidermal stem cells that switch to a hair fate. Similarly, during postnatal hair growth, communication between mesenchymal dermal papilla cells and surrounding epithelial matrix cells coordinates hair shaft production.”

“The study used two kinds of cells placed in silicone containers to cultivate hair follicle germs—the sources of the tiny organs that grow and sustain hair.”
We Just Figured out How to Activate Stem Cells to Treat Baldness
“Researchers from UCLA have found a way to successfully reactivate stem cells in dormant hair follicles to promote hair growth in mice. Through this research, they've developed two drugs that could help millions of people worldwide treat conditions that lead to abnormal hair growth and retention.”

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Becoming Interplanetary
This symposium, hosted by Lucianne Walkowicz, the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology at the Library's John W. Kluge Center, featured panel discussions on how current narratives, policies and laws frame human exploration and presence in space. The panels included a diverse group of thought leaders including astrobiologists, anthropologists, policy experts, artists and journalists whose work has relevance to the human exploration of Mars.
The panels included Becoming Interplanetary with Brenda J. Child, Brian Nord, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein and Ashley Shew; Mars on Earth with Dana Burton, Nathalie Cabrol, Bobak Ferdowsi and Margaret Huettl; and Alternative Futurisms with D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem, Willi Lempert, Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo and Ytasha Womack, plus performances by DXTR Splits, SAMMUS and D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem.

China Over Seas and Oceans: The Maritime Travels of Yuan and Ming Porcelains
Philip Hu, curator of Asian art, Saint Louis Museum of Art, Saint Louis, Missouri
Beginning in the early fourteenth century, Chinese porcelain made its way to many parts of the world, largely through maritime trade routes spanning East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire. The shapes of such Chinese porcelains, and their decoration, were often inspired by non-ceramic prototypes and specifically tailored to the varying tastes of foreign markets. This lecture examines selected highlights from the Sam and Myrna Myers Collection in connection with major types and examples of the Chinese porcelain diaspora.
This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Indian Slavery: An Unspoken History
This program turns to an examination of Indian Slavery under the title “Indian Slavery in the Americas – Its Origins, Impacts and Implications.” The focus of this panel discussion is on the new perspectives on the institution of Indian slavery in the Americas and its relationship to African slavery, as well as modern day ramifications of Indian slavery for Native Americans. Scholars from Brown University, Rhode Island College and Roger Williams University explore this topic.
