Looks that The Science Education Review is more serious than that I thought before. It apears that over 33 international journals, plus new books, are reviewed for The Science Education Review. This review also contains original articles, research, and much more. So if you have so many great ideas, but so little time, read less and learn more by having a look on it. Unfortunately I cannot subscribe, as I am not able to transfer currencies abroad. That seems a little bit strange for those who do know much about the situation where we live! But at least I try to get a free trial password, which is easily obtainable from its website.
Learn more about SPIM (Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy). This technology allows scientists, for the first time, to study live systems from many different angles, under real conditions and with minimal disruption to the specimen.
National Biology Competition in Canada
Although not very new, but worth a visit to National Biology Competition done by University of Toronto:  The 10th annual competition was written by 5,812 eligible contestants at 446 schools on April 29, 2004: 437 schools from across Canada, six in Brunei Darussalem, and one each in Texas, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Over 47,000 students have participated in the competition since 1995. Learn more...

How many students? How many countries?
"OneidaDispatch.com" wrote that Hansen left for Brisbane, Australia yesterday, and will spend a week there for the competition. He will compete with students from 160 countries! I confused: Are there this number of countries in the world? But look what numbers gives "ninemsn" The so-called Olympics of the mind was staged over a week, with a total of 16 gold medals, 32 silver and 48 bronze awarded to some of the 163 students from 42 countries in the event. Meanwhile reported Yahoo! that approximately 160 students representing 40 countries competed in this rigorous competition in Australia. But the numbers are like this according to CBC Health & Science News Wang, Singh and Ralph Zhang of Edmonton competed against 157 other students from 39 countries from July 11 to 18. Zhang didn't place. By the way, don't forget to read this gossip about Kay Aull, a competitor form USA on this pageAnd finally: four junior college students won Singapore second place in this year's International Biology Olympiad in Brisbane, Australia!
We are at home after a long flight. Waiting during 21 hours in the plane made us fatigue and the jet lag increased that. That was the longest flight I have ever experienced. 15 Any way I can characterize 15th IBO as: *Absence of Hans, *Holistic questions *High level security*A new continent th IBO came to the end without Hans. He was absent in this IBO. "It's pity" many friends and colleagues expressed after knowing that.
We got 3 medals: Amiri: Silver Masoum: Bronz Ghodsi-Zadeh: Bronz No time to continue writing on this page. Details will be added tomorrow.

the 2004 International Biology Olympiad-Nigeria (national finals) will be hosted by Adesoye College, Offa , Kwarw State from April 5-6. more
