UK schools minister fails to grasp fundamentals of maths Schools minister Diana Johnson is unimpressed with research that shows children's understanding of ratio and algebra has not progressed since the early 1980s. She describes these as 'topics' (Report, 5 September). Ratio is a fundamental concept that has to be understood to use mathematics in science, engineering, economics and almost any mathematics in upper secondary school and above. Algebra is straightforwardly the language of mathematics. These are crucial for further study in the same way as vocabulary is for English, or line for art. They are not 'topics', and children's problems understanding them were worrying in the 1980s and are even more so now. I realise that a government which has spent millions on improving standards has to snap back at such a research finding, but at least they could snap back with some mathematical comprehension.Anne WatsonProfessor of mathematics education, University of OxfordMathematicsMathematicsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limi GuardianFacet Biotech names BiPar boss to board BiPar Sciences President and CEO Dr. Hoyoung Huh was named to the board of Facet Biotech Corp., the Redwood City drug maker facing down a hostile bid from Biogen Idec.

NASAFermi Large Area Telescope reveals pulsing gamma-ray sources (Naval Research Laboratory) Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory Space Science Division and a team of international researchers have positively identified cosmic sources of gamma-ray emissions through the discovery of 16 pulsating neutron stars. Using the Large Area Telescope, the primary instrument on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope satellite, the discoveries were made by conducting blind frequency searches on the sparse photon data provided by the LAT. Eurekalert.orgScientists use microRNAs to track evolutionary history for first time A team of scientists from Yale University and Dartmouth College has used microRNA data to investigate the evolutionary relationships of annelids, which include earthworms, leeches and bristle worms, to show that this large animal group evolved as a single, unique evolutionary branch. Their work represents the first time that microRNAs have been used to study the evolutionary relationships between organisms.

The project will build upon resources for physically mapping and sequencing barley genes that the researchers already have developed from several USDA and National Science Foundation projects they have led.
