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

Shifting seasons
Spring will arrive a month earlier in 40 years' time thanks to the warming oceans around British Isles, new study predictsIt is a discovery which should delight Britain's gardeners: by 2050, spring will start before Valentine's day. Cherry and pear trees will blossom in late January, while flower beds will be crowded with blooming buttercups, iris and geraniums long before winter has officially ended.A new study on the impact of our warming climate has found that across most low-lying, coastal areas of the globe, spring will begin for many plants at least a month earlier than it does now and will end several weeks later in 40 years time.The predictions are based on a detailed study of plant records from the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh (RGBE) from 1850 and weather records for Edinburgh dating back to 1775, by two scientists, Malcolm Clark of Monash university in Australia and Roy Thompson, at the University of Edinburgh.They have confirmed that the 'botanical calendar' has changed

Shining a light on disease -- tracking light-emitting bacteria during infection
By attaching light-emitting genes to infectious bacteria in an experimental system, researchers at University College, Cork, Ireland, have been able to track where in the body the bacteria go - giving an insight into the path of the infection process leading to the development of more targeted treatments.

Researcher uses bacteria to make radioactive metals inert
[NEWS] The Lost Orphan Mine below the Grand Canyon hasn't produced uranium since the 1960s, but radioactive residue still contaminates the area. Cleaning the region takes an expensive process that is only done in extreme cases, but Judy Wall, a biochemistry professor at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, is researching the use of sulfate-reducing bacteria to convert toxic radioactive metal to inert substances, a much more economical solution. The bacteria Wall i…

MU Researchers Better Understand The Brain Circuit That Controls Binge Eating
Scientists led a rat to the fatty food, but they couldn't make it eat. Using an animal model of binge eating, University of Missouri researchers discovered that deactivating the basolateral amygdala, a brain region involved in regulating emotion, specifically blocked consumption of a fatty diet. Surprisingly, it had no effect on the rat wanting to look for the food repeatedly.
