There were women at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. No one talks about it much because there were so few of them compared to the men. Today is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, also known as the “date that will live in infamy.” The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument is a national park. A new $56 million visitor’s center is being dedicated this week. The highlight of the four days of events marking the occasion is a ceremony this morning at 7:30 a.m. Honolulu time, exactly 18 minutes before the 1941 attack began… Read the rest on Politics Daily. Remembering the Women at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

How can we do that? How can we focus our listening abilities on a far away conversation while “turning off” the ability to listen to the conversation that’s right in front of us? This unique listening ability is called selective listening and most people can do it. It’s our ability to tune out one conversation and have our brains hone in on another. And despite this fairly common phenomenon, neuroscientists still have little idea of how we do it. It seems to come down to understanding the neural pathways and circuits that underlie our attention skills. In understanding simple attention skills like how we can selectively listen, neuroscientists believe it could also hel...

Over 400 scientists work there on a wide range of biological problems, including cancer, neurobiology, plant genetics, and genomics. CSHL has a storied research history, having hosted nine Nobel Laureates. But it is also well known for its world class scientific conferences. The first of these was the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Symposium on Quantitative Biology, which was held in 1934. Another well known event is the Phage Course, founded by Salvador Luria and Max Delbrück in 1948. There are now over 24 meetings held annually. One of these is the meeting on retroviruses, which will begin on 24 May 2010. Below is a list of the presentations about XMRV, the n... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3542263 Fri, 07 May 2010 15:04:27 +0100 3542263 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2871608&cid=t_151999_87_f&fid=38368&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDisruptiveWomenInHealthCare%2F%7E3%2FHa0wmbppsG4%2F Well – sadly it’s been one year since I have posted a blog with Disruptive Women in Healthcare so I really need to update you all on the fascinating science occurring in the genomics community. Shortly after I wrote my last blog in October 2008, I attended a meeting at one of our country’s finest scientific institutions– Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories – where some of the world’s foremost scientific discoveries have occurred. At this inaugural meeting entitled “Personal Genomes”, scientists discussed the tremendous potential for understanding the genome and translating this knowledge into our quest for the personalization of healthcare – yet at this meeting one year ago, we were acknowledging that we had sequenced less than a handful of genomes, the task at hand enorm...

I was a child during those years of World War II and give talks about this era to those who have no memories of it.  “Write down your memories about World War II,” someone told me.  So I’ve begun doing this so that my daughter, grandchildren and future generations will have some connection with it.  My stories also have been published in anthologies about this era. If you know your family member or residents in a nursing home lived...

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. It...

Edith Rodriguez died in the ER…not on a gurney surrounded by doctors and nurses desperately trying to save her life. She died on the floor of the lobby, lying in her own blood as a janitor mopped up around her.Jose Prado, her partner, tried to get the attention of Los Angeles’ King-Harbor ER staff, but he was ignored even though Edith was writhing in pain and spitting up blood as she lay on the floor. He called 911 from a pay phone only to be told “Paramedics are not going to pick…his wife up, from a hospital, because she’s already at one.”An unidentified woman, perhaps another patient, jumped in to help....
