Há dois géneros de pessoas: as que dividem o mundo em dois géneros de coisas e Aristóteles, que tinha hábito de dividi-lo em três.

Post de excepcional valor acadêmico e não só, do Prof. Dr A Santos Pereira, UBI:
O mundo visto da China por um sábio jesuíta Matteo Ricci nos primórdios do século XVII, e a memória de um beirão também jesuíta
A primeira tradução dos livros do Confúcio do chinês para latim foi feita por um jesuíta italiano Matteo Ricci, em 1593, mas para português foi feita por um jesuíta português, o padre Joaquim Guerra (1908-1993), um beirão de Lavacolhos, da antiga comenda de Nossa Senhora da Silva da Ordem do Templo/Cristo que também abrangia Sobral de S. Miguel a que me honro de pertencer. Participei ativamente no ensino do Mandarim no Laboratório de Línguas da UBI e já aqui propus um Museu das Religiões que permitem a representação humana do divino, aqui, na Beira. Estamos a tempo.

Teaching physical aspects of the molecular biosciences
Teaching physical aspects of the molecular biosciences:
'via Blog this' The Honourable Schoolboy
The aim of this free highly interactive workshop will be to share ideas and practice in teaching concepts that lie right towards the physics end of the molecular biosciences curriculum. By “molecular biosciences” we mean courses with a strong focus on biochemistry and broader molecular cell biology: courses where Stryer, Voet and Voet, or Alberts would often be core textbooks. By “physical aspects” we mean things like kinetics, binding, thermodynamics, interaction forces, structural biology, physical methods, and aspects of computing and modelling. But those definitions are very much open to interpretation .. hence the workshop.
By the end of the workshop we aim that
- we will all have better ideas of how this area is taught at different institutions
- we will all have learned about innovative ideas to enhance our own teaching
- we will have started to draw together the scope of a realistic curriculum in this area
Although the emphasis will be on teaching physical topics to molecular bioscientists, we also welcome those teaching molecular biosciences to physics, chemistry, maths or engineering undergraduates. We realistically acknowledge this distinction, but do not wish to perpetuate it unnecessarily
Issues to be addressed might be
- How do we maintain the interest of both students for whom physics was a complete anathema at school, alongside students who might well have pursued a physical sciences undergraduate career?
- How do we assess our students’ range of backgrounds in physics and maths (and chemistry) , and what can we assume ?
- Which is best – a “statistical thermodynamics” slant (entropy is a statement about the most abundant type of state dominating) versus a “classical thermodynamics slant” (entropy increases). The former is a lot more “molecular”, but the latter is much more engrained in the textbooks.
- Can we bring in “modern” and general concepts such as non linear least squares fitting, and dislodge things such as the Lineweaver Burke plot whose virtue stems from pre computer days?
- Can we use single molecule ideas to enliven the students’ intuition and imagination about concepts such as thermal activation and “kT”?
- Molecular bioscience courses are often fact rich: what should the kinetics and thermodynamics curriculum restrict itself to so it can stay concept rich?
- How far should we expect the undergraduate curriculum to go? When is a maths-light approach helpful, and when is it a barrier to proper understanding
- Rates and rate constants: why do people find them so hard to tell apart?
- Do phrases like “mass action” and “binding isotherm” need rooting out
- Rates and rate constants: why do people find them so hard to tell apart?
- Where do computer methods fit in ? Can we use simple numerical integration (time-stepping) to take the mystique out of differential equations?
- How much detail of X ray crystallography or NMR can we hope (or need) to teach.

You may have noticed that a Test series gets under way today. Two teams, two groups of fine cricketers, will go at each other over the course of five matches, each match consisting of up to five days, the series itself representing merely the latest staging post of a duel extending over the course of more than a century. The Ashes was effectively conceived in 1882.

EUA > EUA-CDE Annual Meeting takes stock of doctoral education
EUA > EUA-CDE Annual Meeting takes stock of doctoral education: "More than 230 participants met on 18-19 June at the Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany, to take stock of the developments in European doctoral education over the last decade and discuss the challenges ahead.
While taking into account the major challenges for universities in general, conference participants focused in particular on three areas: open access, research integrity and capacity building. Open access was seen as part of a larger digital challenge for universities, which also included open and blended learning. Research integrity was discussed as an increasingly important activity to support the development of sound research practices at universities at a time of increasing pressure on institutions as well as on individual researchers. Participants gave examples of cases where research integrity had become an integral part of the training of doctoral candidates. Finally, the topic of capacity building touched on a number of issues, from developing regions that are less research intensive to the question of collaboration on doctoral education between universities and universities of applied science."
