Volume 1, Issue 4 January 2004 Where does one go to find biographies of famous scientists that kids will want to read? The TEKS standards for the sixth grade call for students to connect science concepts with history and scientists (TEKS 6.3e). Many children have never known a scientist. All they know about scientists are misrepresentations that they see on TV or the movies. One problem in learning what makes scientists tick is that most biographies of scientists are written for adults and are probably boring to kids. These biographies typically emphasize the honors and awards, and the associated descriptions of the science are often excessively detailed. The scientist’s childhood How the scientist got interested in science How the scientist’s work related to the instructional material in the PEER curriculum. A historical perspective on the scientist’s place in the progression of scientific understanding. The PEER program has several curricula (more about that in later articles). But one part of the program is a Web-based curriculum that is tied to the TEKS standards for biology instruction (grade 6: cell biology, grade 7: organ systems, grade 8: ecosystems). Each module has four to five units, and each of these has a biography of a famous scientist whose work was in the area covered in the unit. (Figure 1) Home page of the PEER biology curriculum .

In its most general sense, computer science CS or compsci ) is the study of computation and information processing , both in hardware and in software . In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers , which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms formal grammars , etc. to more concrete subjects like programming languages , software, and computer hardware. As a scientific discipline, it differs significantly from mathematics programming software engineering , and computer engineering , although these fields are often confused.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
attributed to Edsger Dijkstra Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!
Richard Feynman
The Church-Turing thesis states that all known kinds of general computing devices are essentially equivalent in what they can do, although they vary in time and space efficiency. This thesis is sometimes treated as the fundamental principle of computer science. Most research in computer science has been related to

This section of the Collections Policy Statement on Science and Technology covers the subclass Q (Science, General) and applicable subclasses of Class Z . The Library's collections in this class encompass nearly 44,000 titles. In addition, some of the numerous abstracting and indexing services, catalogs of other scientific libraries, specialized bibliographies, and finding aids for general science are classed in Z, those relating to the role of science in the developments of civilization are classed in CB, and those relating to the telecommunication aspect of information theory are classed in TK5101+ II. Research Strengths
The Library's collections in general science are particularly strong in the history of science, scientific exploration, the lives and contributions of scientists, and the role of science in society. For a discussion on collecting guidelines in the history of science, please consult Chapter A, History of Science and History of Technology Another area of distinction in the Library's general science collections is its holdings of materials summarizing the contributions of scientists to the community of knowledge. This multi-faceted/multi-formatted collection of biographical materials recording the scientific accomplishments, achievements, and the personal and public lives of scientists is vast and covers all periods of science from classical antiquity to modern times. While book-length biographies, autobiographies, and membership directories are usually classed by subject, collected biographies, those appearing in the publications of scientific societies, institutions, and organizations, and biographical memoirs are generally classed in Q. Also classed in Q are the chronologies, milestones and landmarks of science, most of which are directly tied to the triumphs, conquests, and achievements of a single scientist or groups of scientists.

This information may be divided into three categories - "current" (people included are still living), "retrospective" (people included are dead), and those sources which include both living and dead persons. In addition, there are "general" biographical sources as well as those for specific subject areas.
Encyclopedias

Dr. Czernik Dr. Haycock Dr. Ahn Dr. Browning Meet our Scientists a common goal All of the scientists at PhosphoSolutions share a common goal: to be the best providers of custom-made phospho-specific antibodies in the world. To be the best at producing these antibodies, it is necessary to have a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and we have two important advantages: First, the quality of the phospho-specific antibodies produced at PhosphoSolutions is unmatched by any other company in the world. Second, none of the competition has the scientific expertise in protein phosphorylation to match PhosphoSolutons. After learning more about our team of world-renowned scientists in their biographies below, we think that you'll agree that our team of scientists are experts in protein phosphorylation and the production and use of phospho-specific antibodies. our scientists
Dr. Andrew Czernik: Dr. Czernik previously worked with Paul Greengard, Nobel Laureate in 2000 for studies of protein phosphorylation in the CNS. Dr. Czernik authored the seminal methods paper describing the phospho-specific antibody technique that has revolutionized the study of protein phosphorylation. He has identified more than 35 phosphorylation sites and produced more than 20 phospho-specific antibodies. Dr. Czernik is Chief Science Officer at PhosphoSolutions.
