Ben Powell gives a talk at the ICAM 2007 conference about the properties of melenins and what it implies about their structure.

Jeffrey Reimers gives a talk at the ICAM 2007 conference about classical solvent dynamics, dicrete-mode spectral density, and quantum dynamics to understand spectator vibrations.

Elaine Thompson gives a talk at the RPP08 conference about protein surface mapping:

Diego Alvarado gives a talk at the RPP08 conference on:
1) the structure of the EGF Receptor

The third lecture describes recent work on the evolution of trichromatic color vision in humans and our primate relatives.

The second lecture focuses on the photoreceptors that mediate human color vision and the molecular basis for the common inherited anomalies of color vision.

In this set of lectures, Jeremy Nathans explores the molecular mechanisms within the retina that mediate the first steps in vision. The first lecture focuses on the structure of the light sensing receptors, the intracellular signals that are triggered by light absorption, and the ways in which the retina extracts information from a complex scene.

Ichnology for the 21st Century: Understanding the differences between continental and marine trace fossils, with implications to the diversity, distribution, and evolution of soil biota ; Department of Geological Sciences, San Diego State University, Seminar Series ; The study of ichnology has come a long way since its inception and it continues to evolve. In particular, progress is being made in understanding the implications of trace fossils in the continental realm and how they can be...
