Study recommends a shorter course of whole breast radiation therapy
By: mdanderson MD Anderson radiation oncologists have found that a shorter course of radiation treatment for women with
early stage breast cancer results in fewer toxic side effects and improved quality of life compared to those who undergo
a longer course of treatment. The findings published in JAMA Oncology by Simona Shaitelman, M.D., and Benjamin Smith,
M.D., indicate that women should be made aware of this option when making treatment decisions.

TNsfZ Exclusive! Big Bite taken out of Big Apple
By: nsf TNsfZ has unearthed "groundbreaking" research about ants in Manhattan - here's what we caught on camera! Every
year they remove tons of refuse from New York City streets and help keep down the rat population. See what researchers
have learned about NYC's creepy, crawly clean-up crew.

2015 Vannevar Bush award winner James Duderstadt
By: nsf James Duderstadt has always considered himself a change agent. It might sound odd, when you consider that he’s
spent nearly 50 years at one institution. Look a bit closer, however, and you quickly see what he means: Duderstadt,
a engineer by training, has spent his career pushing for innovations in higher education and research, and remains a
vocal leader in science policy. Duderstadt is president emeritus and University Professor of science and engineering
at the University of Michigan. Earlier this year, he was named the 2015 recipient of the Vannevar Bush Award by the
National Science Board. In this video, he discusses his career, the changing nature of universities, and what this award
means to him. The Vannevar Bush Award recognizes lifelong leaders in science and technology who have made major contributions
to the welfare of the United States.

How reliable is eyewitness testimony?
By: nsf Eyewitness testimony -- it's often thought of as solid evidence in criminal cases, but researchers including
Iowa State University's Gary Wells have found that our memories aren't as reliable as we think. Sometimes, we can even
build false recollections about people we only think we saw. Dr. Wells' wesbite: http://wells.socialpsychology.org/

How well can you focus your brain?
By: nsf Seven digits is the "magic number" for neuroscientists. It's just about the maximum your short-term memory can
retain. Can you remember a seven-digit number? Find out with Barbara Shinn-Cunningham, head of the NSF-funded CELEST
Science of Learning Center at Boston University. Shinn-Cunningham and other leaders from the Science of Learning
Centers provided a Capitol Hill briefing June 24, 2015 on their work studying how the brain learns and develops. Rep.
Chaka Fattah hosted the briefing. You can find more information on CELEST (the Center for Learning in Education, Science,

biosights: August 3, 2015 - Endocytosis brings closure to epithelial wounds
By: JCB Epithelial cells bordering a wound respond by forming two types of actin-based structure: dynamic membrane protrusions
that help the cells crawl into the wound and/or seal it and an actomyosin cable that encircles the wound and closes
it like a purse string. Matsubayashi et al. reveal that the endocytic remodeling of intercellular adherens junctions
promotes Drosophila epidermal wound healing by coordinating the activity of multiple actin regulators at the wound edge.
This biosights episode presents the paper by Matsubayashi et al. from the August 3rd, 2015, issue of The Journal of
Cell Biology and includes an interview with the paper's senior author, Tom Millard (University of Manchester, Manchester,
UK). Produced by Caitlin Sedwick and Ben Short. See the associated paper in JCB for details on the funding provided
to support this original research. See Matsubayashi et al.: http://jcb.rupress.org/content/210/3/419.full

How to address body image issues in pediatric cancer patients
By: mdanderson Download from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-address-body-image/id43184821... Children
as young as five years old can experience body image issues. When children are treated for cancer, these concerns may
be amplified by changes such as weight gain, hair loss, or amputations. In this episode, MD Anderson child life specialist
Morinsola Keshinro provides insight into the challenges young children, adolescents and teens face with their body image,
as well as ways their parents and caregivers can help.

Collaboratively Exploring Virtual Worlds: Beyond Today’s Internet
By: nsf The Mars Rover game introduces educational content in a fun and rewarding 3D gaming experience. Students must
work together to solve puzzles as they learn to navigate a damaged rover across the surface of the red planet. Along
the way, they learn programming and math. The Pentagon’s Office of Training and Readiness Strategy’s
Advanced Distributed Learning laboratory worked with Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems and Training and US Ignite
to create a platform for distributed, immersive training applications. Called the Virtual World Framework (VWF), it
makes interactive education more accessible to school districts by making it easier, faster, and less expensive to develop.
At the Beyond Today’s Internet Summit in March 2015, the researchers demonstrated the Mars Rover game hosted
on a remote “slice” of the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), an NSF-supported testbed for
next-generation applications. Check out the game: http://themarsgame.com Credit: National Science Foundation, Pentagon’s
