Prion biology: the quest for the test
Nature Methods, 2007The adaptation of the protein misfolding cyclic amplification assay (PMCA) to use recombinant hamster prion protein (PrP) as a substrate shows promise for both basic research applications and clinical diagnostic assays.

Testing New Signs for Teaching Biology
Sign Language Studies, 1988Signs emphasizing meaning and concept were designed for various technical terms used in teaching biology. Videotape presentations of these signs were reviewed independently by three deaf ASL linguists; their responses guided the development of the final form used for each sign.

Enhancing Students’ Biology Learning by Using Augmented Reality as a Learning Supplement
Journal of educational computing research, 2019The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of augmented reality (AR) technology on students’ learning outcomes (measured according to Bloom’s cognitive levels) and attitude toward biology. The print book was redesigned by integrating a form

Statistical Hypothesis Testing in Biology: A Contradiction in Terms
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1986We respond to the preceding article by Perry (J. Econ. Entomol. 79: 1149–1155) concerning the subject of hypothesis testing and meaningful presentation of statistical analyses. We agree with Perry that indiscriminate use of statistical hypothesis testing should be discouraged. We also address and refute reasons often given to support continued emphasis

Testing the universality of biology: a review
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2007AbstractWe discuss whether it is possible to test the universality of biology, a quest that is of paramount relevance for one of its most recent branches, namely astrobiology. We review this topic in terms of the relative roles played on the Earth biota by contingency and evolutionary convergence.

Designing self-tests for biology
Journal of Biological Education, 1977Self-tests may have an important function in assisting the student to assess his knowledge. In this paper the use of self-tests in biology is discussed and one example is presented. The method used to produce the test is outlined. The type of self-test illustrated is applicable to many subjects.

Molecular Biology in Paternity Testing
Laboratory Medicine, 1992Deoxyribonucleic acid probe technology, a powerful new tool for lineage testing in the clinical laboratory, can assist in resolving cases of disputed parentage. Interest has focused on restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis to detect the variable number of tandem repeat segments of DNA.

Expertise for Teaching Biology Situated in the Context of Genetic Testing
International Journal of Science Education, 2012Contemporary genomics research will impact the daily practice of biology teachers who want to teach up-to-date genetics in secondary education. This article reports on a research project aimed at enhancing biology teachers’ expertise for teaching genetics situated in the context of genetic testing. The increasing body of scientific knowledge concerning

The Development and Validation of a Test of Biology‐related Attitudes
Research in Science & Technological Education, 1984Abstract The development and validation of a test of biology‐related attitudes (TOBRA) is described. This instrument was developed for science students in grades 10‐12 in Indonesia; however, the procedures for validation of the instrument will be of general interest to science educators. These procedures included the use of latent partition analysis to

The importance of prediction testing in evolutionary biology
Erkenntnis, 1982It is clear from the above discussion that if I had wished to do so I could have truthfully presented every paper as either testing a prediction, presenting evidence needed in the test of a prediction, or presentin a D-N explanation. (I would not have been able to do this if I had not been sufficiently familiar with the evolutionary literature to ...
