Alberto Contador Quits Tour De France With Broken Leg  The New York Times

When the fledgling ASCB held its big meeting in a down-at-the-heels hotel on the Chicago lakefront in 1961, it was something of a carnival of animals, lab animals. Peter Satir, who is now at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, was present in Chicago. Fifty three years later when asked about the first scientific program, Satir couldn't help pointing out how many different organisms or parts thereof were being studied. There were papers using the rectal gland of the sucker shark, the salt gland of the herring gull, and the gas secreting epithelium of the Portuguese man-of-war. Many of today's common laboratory animal model systems were represented—Drosophila, Dictyostelium, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces. But there was only one HeLa presentation and Caenorhabditis elegans had yet to catch the eye of Sydney Brenner. In his first ASCB talk, Satir spoke on fine structure and motion in mussel gill cilia.

RACC interns and graduate students at UVM use LiDAR to monitor & quantify streambank erosion, and conduct field surveys of stream bank structure, vegetation, erosion and stream bed sediment within the Mad River Valley Watershed. Interns are also incorporating observations of stream networks into GIS which will be used to validate computer-generated stream networks. The observations will be used to parameterize and validate computer models of the Mad River Valley watershed.

For two million years, Vermont was ruled by ice. Glaciers would surge south, retreat north. Each time the ice melted, a raw landscape of scoured bedrock would be revealed. And, each time, life would return.

About twenty-five thousand years ago, the ice sheet began its most recent pullback, leaving behind the bones of today’s landscape: the blunt ridge of Mount Mansfield, the signature profile of Camel's Hump, and a vast puddle of meltwater that would surge and subside—sometimes saltwater, sometimes fresh-to become our Lake Champlain.

RACC interns at Middlebury College (Zach Perzan, Amanda Fishbin, and Ellen Taylor) are working with Dr. Tom Manley to study the hydrodynamics of Lake Champlain. Research is focused in the Missisquoi Bay where the team spent the early part of the summer working on the R/V David Folger. Interns collected, cleaned and re-deployed 10 ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers) that record water circulation over the course of a year, and will continue recording data for the next 12 months.

Interns are now working to analyze water circulation data, multibeam bathymetric data, benthic macroinvertebrate data, and more!

The University of Vermont has been chosen as one of just five universities across the country to receive a grant from NASA. The grant is for work on deep space habitats.
