Society for Wetland Scientists Undergrad Mentoring Program application deadline November 16

Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS) wants YOU to attend its annual conference. Hats off SWS. It?s one of themost active and vocal professional societies that work to promote diversity and inclusion of students, especially undergraduates in the scientific experience. The SWS Diversity Program was created to increase diversity in the Society and the field of wetland science. The annual meeting offers students valuable career mentoring and exposure to career options. Undergraduate students from underrepresented groups are invited to apply for Undergraduate Mentoring Awards. Recipients will receive full travel benefits and opportunities for career mentoring at the SWS annual meeting June 2-6, 2013, in Duluth, Minnesota.

All eligible college students should seriously consider applying.? Are you a biology major? zoology, botany or microbiology major? ecology, environmental education or environmental studies major? or perhaps you are an agriculture major, soils or geology/geography major?? Any and all of these fields of study can be applied to the field of wetland science.

I highly recommended students to get involved in the entire scientific process. Going to class and making good grades are only the start.? Getting your hands dirty (literally) doing research ? working alongside of a graduate student, post doc or professor ? is how you really LEARN science. Science is verb. You gotta DO it!? Nothing summarizes the lived experience of science better than attending a professional science conference. There you will hear about all of the great discoveries that are being made, RIGHT now. It?s like getting a scoop on all of those things that eventually end up in text books.? And you will see and meet those researchers. It is so exciting. Going to meetings is the best. So, do it. Apply for this program.

Visit the website for more information about the society and the meeting.

It is a competitive process, but recipients join a very special club of scholars. Those who receive this award go on to some pretty great graduate programs. It is so worth it to apply. See list of past Awardees.

I can send you an application, if you email me. Or directly to the source if you have any questions.

The deadline is Friday, November 16, 2012. You have one week. But you can do it. Help me spread the word far and wide.

Thank you!

Taking on the challenges of replication in psychological science

Friday, November 9, 2012

Psychological science has come of age. But the rights of a mature discipline carry with them responsibilities, among them the responsibility to maximize confidence in our findings through good data practices and replication.

The November issue of Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science (APS), reflects the discipline's ongoing commitment to examine methodological issues that affect all areas of science ? such as failures to replicate previous findings and problems of bias and error ? with the goal of strengthening our discipline and contributing to the discussion that is taking place throughout science.

The issue features two special sections: one on replicability and one on research methods.

The special section on replicability brings together articles that examine the extent, causes, and solutions to some of the challenges faced by psychological science with regard to replication of research. The first nine articles in the section focus on diagnosing the problems within psychological science, while the next six articles discuss potential solutions. The aim of this special section is not to provide definitive answers, but to promote discussion and collective action to strengthen our science.

"We hope that the articles in this special section will not only be stimulating and pleasurable to read, but that they will also promote much wider discussion and, ultimately, collective actions that we can take to make our science more reliable and more reputable," write the section editors Harold Pashler of the University of California, San Diego and Eric-Jan Wagenmakers of the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands.

The special section on research methods features articles that examine various aspects of research methodology, including the problem of false negatives and different approaches to detecting fraud. The section also includes a report on the goals, structure, and state of the Reproducibility Project from the Open Science Collaboration and a tongue-in-cheek take on questionable research practices in psychological science.

Because these topics are so important and so central to the scientific enterprise, APS is making the entire issue available to non-subscribers free for three months.

Angry Birds Star Wars adds sci-fi flavor to bird flinging, available today, we go hands-on

Finland's biggest game studio is heading back into the coop, pulling out its Angry Birds franchise for yet another go on a whole mess of platforms -- this time, even Windows 8 and its mobile counterpart get some attention. Moreover, Rovio's teamed with the folks at LucasArts (now part of the Disney family) to craft an entirely thematic experience: enter Angry Birds Star Wars. But fret not -- just because Angry Birds Star Wars seems like a shameless tie-in doesn't mean it's a bad game (it is, however, a shameless tie-in, no matter which way you cut it). In fact, it's quite good, melding pieces of Angry Birds Space -- arguably the best and most creative entry in the Angry Birds franchise -- with new gameplay elements. Rather than birds which explode or other such modifiers, post-fling, Angry Birds Star Wars equips each of several themed birds with one weapon apiece. An Obi-Wan Kenobi-themed bird uses The Force to push enemies or blocks, while a Han Solo-themed bird fires three blasts from a space pistol, just to name a few.

That Angry Birds Space component is little more than gravity effects, but it helps to mix up the often redundant level design -- if you've played more than one Angry Birds game, you've seen most of what's on offer here. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, per se, but be forewarned if you're expecting the kind of innovation we saw from Rovio's last Angry Birds spinoff, Bad Piggies. Angry Birds Star Wars launches today on iOS ($0.99 / iPhone, $2.99 / iPad), Android (Free SD version, HD is $2.99), Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac ($4.99), PC, Windows Phone ($0.99), and Windows 8. Go after the break to check out the cinematic and gameplay trailers, along with the PR.

Pfizer says FDA approves arthritis drug Xeljanz

NEW YORK (AP) ? Pfizer says the Food and Drug Administration approved its rheumatoid arthritis pill Xeljanz (ZEL'jans), seen as potential big seller for the world's largest pharmaceutical company.

Pfizer Inc. says the FDA approved Xeljanz as a treatment for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in patients who can't take methotrexate or haven't been helped by it. Xeljanz is intended to slow the progression of the disease. The approval comes about two weeks sooner than expected.

Xeljanz, or tofacitinib, is the first rheumatoid arthritis treatment from a new class of pain medications called JAK inhibitors. The drugs interfere with enzymes that contribute to tissue inflammation.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a major area of research for drug companies because it is a chronic condition, meaning patients will likely take the drugs regularly for a long time.
