Listening to podcasted versions of university lectures seems to be better for students than simply going to class, according to new research by State University of New York (SUNY) Fredonia psychologist Dani McKinney. Her study, titled "iTunes University and the classroom: Can podcasts replace Professors?" suggests that students who download the podcast version of a class tend to achieve better academic performance than those who don't, though it's more about what the students do when they download the podcast than the existence of the podcast itself.

ELIZABETH KNITTLE, technology integration specialist for the Barnstable Public School District in Massachusetts, took her first tentative steps in the 3D online virtual world known as Second Life about two years ago. She wasn't impressed. "I looked around and I thought, this is crazy," Knittle recalls. "I just couldn't see the value of it, so I left. But then people starting blogging about it-- a lot of people-- so I had to reconsider. I decided that if I was going to understand this thing and be able to answer questions about it intelligently, I really just had to suck it up and get in there and participate. Once I connected with people inworld, it made all the difference." That early buzz among K-12 educators centered on Second Life's potential as a learning platform. And in the last few years, many colleges, universities, and libraries have established resources in what has become the preeminent multiuser virtual environment (MUVE). Today, more than 100 Second Life "regions" are used for educational purposes.

Host cell residual DNA refers to the small amount of nucleic acid (host genome, plasmid, or total DNA) that remains in protein drugs expressed and purified through cell culture. During the production process of expressing antibody protein drugs, a large number of cells undergo proliferation and amplification, and some aging cells die and lyse, releasing a large amount of genomic DNA. This leads to the presence of a large amount of free host cell DNA in the cell culture harvest of recombinant biologics, and a small part of the host cell DNA is removed during the processing steps (such as acid precipitation, filtration, etc.), while most of it is removed during the anion exchange chromatography step. Finally, there is a trace amount of host cell residual DNA in the original solution of the recombinant protein drug.
