    "A mini-kidney has been grown in an Australian laboratory from what were originally skin cells, boosting hopes for the future treatment of kidney disease. The study adds support to a science-fiction-like goal of taking skin cells from a patient, using them to grow a kidney and then implanting it into the same patient, circumventing problems with transplant rejection."

    "Science is best taught in a hands-on manner. For around $10 per student (plus fabric or other materials), they can create wearable circuits that will teach them not only about how circuits work, but also the fine motor skills involved in sewing, the planning skills associated with creating schematic diagrams, and the challenge of planning out more intricate circuits."

    "Ever wanted an ant farm?  Ant farms are entertaining, yet educational - it's fascinating to observe the little ants as they go about their busy lives.  But store-bought ant farms are often expensive, and usually limited in size.  If you'd like an inexpensive, easy-to-make ant farm alternative that gives ants tons of space to lead a more natural life, then this soda bottle ant farm project is for you!"

  • That core presence enables workers to complete collective tasks more effectively by giving them a greater freedom over when and where they do their jobs
  • research suggests that knowledge workers who manage their presence successfully and control their responses are better at organising workflow
  • social media is not an entertainment medium with side-benefits for business. “It’s not a by-product. It’s the main thing
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • warned against organisations treating social media and easy access to it via mobile devices as a distraction for employees. “They said that about email. They said that about the telephone. Businesses should change - social media is a fact of life,”
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 31 Mar 13
     
    "Far from diverting employees from their jobs, social media and smartphones actually make staff more productive - and employers should learn to deal with that new reality. Access to social networks via mobile devices gives staff a "virtual co-presence" with direct benefits for the business in which they work, according to a new study."

    "Teaching about sound in the classroom used to involve lots of fiddly bits of kit such as Signal Generators and Decibel Meters that would cost a lot of money and only get wheeled out once a year. Thankfully if you have an iPhone or iPad you can replace quite a bit of that kit with a couple of handy apps which are either free or relatively inexpensive. Here's a couple to get you started:"
