Bug Brain Soup Expands Menu for Scientists Studying Animal Brains

Wulfila Gronenberg Using a surprisingly simple technique, researchers in the University of Arizona Department of Neuroscience have succeeded in approximating how many brain cells make up the brains of several species of bees, ants and wasps. The work revealed that certain species of bees have a higher density of brain cells than even some species of birds, whereas ants turned out to have fewer brain cells than originally expected. Published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the study marks the first time the new cell counting method has been applied to invertebrate animals and provides a robust and reproducible protocol for other research groups studying the brains of invertebrate animals.

Student Affairs Diversity Initiatives (SADI) The Student Affairs Diversity Initiatives (SADI) are designed to empower, support, and assist African American and Hispanic/Latinx students in achieving their goal of earning a college degree. About SADI Conception In the fall of 2009, the university introduced a new mentoring program, the African American Male Initiative, to improve retention and graduation rates for first-time entering freshmen African American male students. Dr. Charles Donaldson, Dr. Logan Hampton, Dean Darryl McGee, and Harvell Howard established the new program to provide intrusive mentoring and advising to increase academic achievement. At the conclusion of the fall semester, 44 out of 58 AAMI new student participants ended their first semester at UALR in good academic standing. Fifty-five percent earned a 3.0 GPA or higher, and 91% of AAMI participants returned for the spring semester.

GUEST BLOG: Dave Brownz – AOTEAROA: LAND OF THE WRONG WHITE RENT SEEKERS PART TWO – SOCIALISING LAND, LABOUR AND CAPITAL

The struggle for land rights at Ihumātao reveals the ‘secret’ of capitalist society in Aotearoa much more dramatically than the case of Mr Peel on the Swan River in Western Australia. Māori land was privatized by confiscation, collective labour privatized as wage-labour, and the value produced on the land expropriated as absolute rent for many generations. The recent ‘settlement’ at Ihumātao ignores this history, nationalizes the land from the private owners, yet expects the mana whenua to jointly manage a public reserve with some provision for housing. Private landowners are claiming Government has set a precedent to nationalise their property. Racists object to Maori breaking ‘one law for all’ to get any land rights. Meanwhile Māori self-determination (Tino rangatiratanga) is patronized.
