Biological Structures: A course for all scientists and engineers even philosophers - STAR SCIENCE By Gisela P. Padilla-Concepcion, PhD and Eduardo A. Padlan, PhD

We offer a course at the Marine Science Institute in UP Diliman called “Biological Structures.� The topics we cover range from biological molecules (small and large), to cells, to organ systems, to whole organisms, to populations and ecosystems. One of the recurring fundamental questions we ask is — are there underlying principles, with fine similarities and differences, at these different levels of biological structure?

Inventing the Future with Synthetic Biology

Forbes features Ginkgo BioWorks, a synthetic biology company started by MIT's Tom Knight and three of his PhD students, including Reshma Shetty. She's part of their Eight People Inventing the Future, on the list due to her "DIY genetic engineering" approach to using genetic parts to make new living systems. Shetty's claim to fame is making banana-scented bacteria, and Ginkgo's aim is to sell standardized genetic parts dried onto sheets of paper to big companies that want to make new drugs, plastics, and petroleum replacements, says the story.

Understanding Algae As An Alternative Fuel Source: Will The Real Algae X Please Stand Up

The recent creation of AXI, LLC is an alliance between Allied Minds, Inc. a seed investment company and the University of Washington. The alliance came about because of Professor Rose Ann Cattolico PhD, an algae-to-fuel expert. Professor Cattolico has been on the faculty and conducting algae research since 1975. Her research includes, chloroplast genome architecture and gene function in non-chlorophy b containing algae and functional genetic diversity within stramenopile population. Professor Cattolico has discovered a unique patented technology, she calls Algae X.

CSRF Flaws Found On Major Websites, Including a Bank

An anonymous reader sends a link to DarkReading on the recent announcement by Princeton researchers of four major Web sites on which they found exploitable cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities. The sites are the NYTimes, YouTube, Metafilter, and INGDirect. All but the NYTimes site have patched the hole. "...four major Websites susceptible to the silent-but-deadly cross-site request forgery attack — including one on INGDirect.com's site that would let an attacker transfer money out of a victim's bank account... Bill Zeller, a PhD candidate at Princeton, says the CSRF bug that he and fellow researcher Edward Felton found on INGDirect.com represents... 'the first example of a CSRF attack that allows money to be transferred out of a bank account that [we're] aware of.
