Scientist advocates increased fisheries data gathering

Fisheries management decisions are often based on population models. However, those models need quality data to be effective. It's that caliber and volume of data that is lacking in fisheries science, according to Milo Adkison, an associate professor in the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

2. Map is first to track global human influences on ocean ecosystems
   02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
   The first global map of human influences on marine ecosystems has been constructed by a team of researchers, including a Stanford University scientist among the principal investigators, by gathering and interpreting massive amounts of data from the professional literature and from researchers around the world. This study suggests that about 41 percent of oceans bear a serious human "footprint " and that few blue spots on our planet are likely pristine.

6. Novel mechanism for long-term learning identified by Carnegie Mellon researchers
   01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Practice makes perfect -- or at least that's what we’re told as we struggle through of multiplication tables and piano scales -- and it seems to be true. That's why neuroscientists have been perplexed by data showing that at the level of individual synapses increased, repetitive stimulation reverses gains in synaptic strength. Neuroscientists from Carnegie Mellon and the Max Planck Institute have discovered the mechanism that resolves this paradox. The findings are published in Science.
