Great White shark evolution debate involves WSU Lake Campus geology professor

A significant debate is currently underway in the scientific community over the evolution of the Great White shark, and Chuck Ciampaglio, Ph.D., an assistant professor of geology at the Wright State University Lake Campus, is right in the middle of it. The issue is if the Great White, one of the most feared predators of the sea, evolved from the huge prehistoric megladon shark or if its a...

Genome archaeology illuminates the genetic engineering debate

Genome Research's cover story for Oct. 2 tells a tale of "genome archaeology" by genetic researchers who dug deeply into the long history of maize and rice. Their resulting insights into plant genomic evolution may well fuel the fires of the genetically modified organism (GMO) controversy. "Our findings elucidate an active evolutionary process in which nature inserts genes much like moder...

With cellulosic ethanol, there is no food vs. fuel debate according to MSU scientist

As more and more corn grain is diverted to make ethanol, there have been public concerns about food shortages. However, ethanol made from cellulosic materials instead of corn grain, renders the food vs. fuel debate moot, according to research by a Michigan State University ethanol expert. Bruce Dale, an MSU chemical engineering and materials science professor, has used life cycle analysis...

Debate over `intelligent design' is a not-so-wise diversion from science education

- The day an archeologist finds a fossil cat or dog in Precambrian rock is the day Charles Darwin's evolution theory is disproved. But that hasn't happened. In fact, the Earth's fossil records tell a consistent scientific story through the ages: Today's living species descended -- with modification -- from common ancestors that lived in our anci...

A brief timeline of the stem cell debate

The first embryonic stem cells were isolated in mice in 1981. But it wasn't until 1998 that researchers managed to derive stem cells from human embryos. That kicked into full gear an ethical debate that continues to this day. Here's a look at key moments in the controversy so far: Researchers at the <a href="http://www.warf.ws/technologies.jsp?techfield=Drug+Discove...

But rarely do these matters become a major controversy when many sit up and take notice. Especially in the health care industry people don’t bat an eyelid when someone is fired because of ones HIV serostatus. Many nurse...

Stem cell research- now Nobel Laureates join the debate

Throwing their lot with the group of scientists asking for more funding into stem cell research, 80 Nobel prize winners are faxing a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush asking him not to block stem cell research in any way. The debate on stem cell research is reaching a feverish pitch with both sides slamming each other on the pros and cons of stem cell research. While those...

FDA debates status of decongestant drugs

An advisory committee for the Food and Drug Administration agreed that an ingredient commonly used in over-the-counter decongestants is unsafe, and it plans to recommend further review by the FDA. The FDA Non-Prescription Drugs Advisory Committee met to discuss a new five-year study by Yale University researchers that found phenyl-propanolamine (PPA), an active ingredient in non-prescr...

Macaroni faster than spaghetti? A greenish banana faster than a freckled one? Yes, say some of the top-tier nutritional experts.They are convinced that carbohydrates should be labeled good or bad, just the way fats are.// The debate involves an idea called the glycemic index. It is a way of rating how quickly carbohydrates are digested and rush into the bloodstream as sugar. Fast, in t...

Debate On Marriage

British researchers analyzed results from a questionnaire that included more than 4,400 men and women under age 65. // The questionnaire, called the annual British Household Panel Survey, began in 1991. Results of the survey show cohabitating is good for a man's health, but marriage is better for a woman's . Researchers say men whose relationships with a first partner did not work out report...
