  Physics Awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger for "experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science." Chemistry Awarded to Carolyn Bertozzi, Morton Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry." First, Sharpless coined the concept for click chemistry, where reactions occur quickly and unwanted by-products are avoided.  Then Meldal found the chemical reaction for mapping DNA. Next, Bertozzi applied this to living organisms, to track biomolecules on the surface of cells. Physiology or Medicine Awarded to Svante Paabo, "for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution." Paabo discovered a previously unknown hominin, Denisova.  He determined that gene transfer occurred to homo sapiens  following the migration out of Africa 70,000 years ago, and his work gave rise to a new...

  "In honor of US Hispanic Heritage Month, today's animated video Doodle celebrates the life and legacy of American "Nuyorican" musician and internationally-renowned entertainer, Tito Puente." To this date, his best-selling track. Tito loved the Cha-Cha rhythm, and this song is one of his most famous pieces. He was heavily influenced by Big Band jazz, and this song combines the American and Latin traditions. For Latin Jazz though, this one's named as his most famous. "A song where you can fully appreciate the ability Tito Puente had playing the vibes."

  We know that the cerebellum coordinates muscle movements, but researchers at the University of Basel have discovered that it also plays an important role in remembering emotional experiences. The cerebellum is part of the hindbrain, sometimes called the primitive brain, so this information makes sense from a survival standpoint. Higher up, the amygdala is known for its role in processing emotions.  It is, in fact, activated by emotions, then facilitates the storage of information in the cerebrum. Participants were shown positive, negative, and neutral images while the researchers recorded their brain activity using MRI.  It was during the memory test that they saw increased activity in the cerebellum, related to the improved storage of the emotional images. They also saw that the cerebellum showed stronger communication with various areas, such as the cingulate gyrus, which is important in the perception and evaluation of feelings. These findings may help in further und...

  UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) proclaimed the first World Teachers' Day on October 5, 1994. The aim is to bring awareness to the importance of this role, to appreciate that they dedicate their lives, often for low salary, to the responsibility of educating future generations. In honor of my sister, my best friend, and of course, our dear Taha! I appreciate all of my teachers, but there are three in particular that I will never forget because they inspired and supported me in ways that are still an aspect of my life today. Science is Fun Fridays?  That's for you, Mr. Kenny. UNESCO
