Images and movies of plant organelle dynamics that were obtained from plant research, based on the Plant Organelles Database. This educational tool is written in layman''''s terms to engage members of the non-scientific community such as students and school teachers. Additional content: ''''What happens, if organelle functions become defective '''' was added in anticipation that readers will be interested in this subject. The Scientific Research of Priority Areas on Organelle Differentiation as the Strategy for Environmental Adaptation in Plants was started on 2004 to promote a comprehensive understanding of plant organelle research, and research with plant scientists all over Japan has been conducted for the past five years. The Plant Organelles Database (PODB), which contains images and movies of various plant organelles that were obtained from this project''''s research was constructed but was designed for scientists. ''''The Plant Organelles World'''' was created for the non-scientific community to understand. Plants have developed mechanisms to adapt to the environment, which is different from the mammalian system of adaption. From recent plant research, the small compartments in cells, ''''organelles'''', have been shown to be involved in various responses to environmental changes. The dramatic development of bio-imaging analysis tools such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), which won a Nobel prize for chemistry in 2008, has contributed to recent plant science, because it has become easier to biotechnologically introduce GFP and its derivatives into cells, leading to convenient methods of observing the inside of cells. As a result, we can analyze organelle dynamics and obtain insights related to understanding the way plants live, as well as forming a deeper understanding of organelles.

The American Society for Microbiology is the oldest and largest single life science membership organization in the world. Membership has grown from 59 scientists in 1899 to more than 39,000 members today, with more than one third located outside the United States. The members represent 26 disciplines of microbiological specialization plus a division for microbiology educators. Eligibility for Full Membership is open to any person who is interested in microbiology and holds at least a bachelor''s degree or equivalent experience in microbiology or related field. Many members hold advanced degrees, including a large number at the master''s, PhD, ScD, DrPH and MD level. A regularly matriculated student of microbiology or a related field is eligible to become a student member. There are also separate membership categories for postdoctoral fellows and for transitional scientists in the early years of a career. Microbiologists study microbes--bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae, mycoplasma, fungi, algae and protozoa--some of which cause diseases, but many of which contribute to the balance of nature or are otherwise beneficial. Microbiological research includes infectious diseases, recombinant DNA technology, alternative methods of energy production and waste recycling, new sources of food, new drug development, and the etiology of sexually transmitted diseases, among other areas. Microbiology is also concerned with environmental problems and industrial processes. Microbiology boasts some of the most illustrious names in the annals of science--Pasteur, Koch, Fleming, Leeuwenhoek, Lister, Jenner and Salk--and some of the greatest achievements for mankind. Within the 20th century, a third of all Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine have been bestowed upon microbiologists. The mission of the American Society for Microbiology is to advance the microbiological sciences as a vehicle for understanding life processes and to apply and communicate this knowledge for the improvement of health and environmental and economic well being worldwide. To achieve these goals, ASM will: * Support programs of education, training and public information; * Publish journals and books; convene meetings, workshops and colloquia; * Promote the contributions and promise of the microbiological sciences; * Recognize achievement and distinction among its practitioners; * Set standards of ethical and professional behavior.

http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/2011/02/01/epub-wordpress-plugin-released-today/

Martin Fenner''s blog is about a WordPress plugin that he created that automatically creates ePub files from blog posts - they are created in the background when you save a blog post. The plugin can be installed directly from your WordPress installation. For now the plugin, ePub Export, only stores the text and images, but the next version should allow embedding of all kinds of files, most importantly data. ePub is a very interesting document format for scholarly publishing and has several advantages over PDF, including: * ePub can be used for all steps in the creation of a scholarly document, including data collection, authoring, annotating and peer review. There is no need for time-consuming and expensive format conversions. Currently most manuscripts are submitted in Microsoft Word or LateX formats, and then converted first to XML and then to HTML and PDF. Metadata such as author identifiers, digital object identifiers and semantic information can be added early on and don''t get lost in a format conversion. * ePub makes it easy to include supplementary material, e.g. video and other multimedia content, the datasets used in the publication (particularly the data used for tables and figures), all cited references in BibTeX format, etc. * ePub is much better suited for reading on mobile devices, as the format allows reflowing of content. Most articles today are printed from the PDF and then read, but this behavior is rapidly changing.

The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment, and cure of anxiety disorders and to improving the lives of all people who suffer from them. It is the leader in education, training, and research for anxiety and stress-related disorders. ADAA leads the way, improving the lives of millions of people: * Promotes professional and public awareness of anxiety and related disorders and their impact on people''s lives. * Encourages the advancement of scientific knowledge about causes and treatment of anxiety and related disorders. * Links people who need treatment with the health care professionals who provide it. * Helps people find appropriate treatment and develop self-help skills. * Works to reduce the stigma surrounding anxiety and related disorders. ADAA was founded in 1980 as the Phobia Society of America by a diverse group of clinicians and patients. The term anxiety disorder had not yet been coined. Most anxiety disorders were simply called phobias. That changed as researchers discovered links between panic attacks and abnormal blood flow in the brain, learned that anxiety disorders are associated with pervasive social and health consequences, and discovered and tested various therapies and medications to treat anxiety disorders. ADAA adopted its new name in 1990 to reflect the changing and growing field. Over the years ADAA has launched several national educational campaigns to promote awareness about anxiety disorders and encourage people to seek treatment. ADAA has also funded more than $1.5 million in anxiety disorder research. Today ADAA continues to be the voice for those affected by anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. The organization is frequently cited by the media and also provides information and treatment referrals to tens of thousands each year by phone, e-mail, and through this website.
