The cells of the interdigital regions are also removed by apoptosis to give rise to the fingers. Sydney Brenner, John Sulston and Robert Horvitz received the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 2002 for their studies on the Caenorhabditis elegans worm, where they first identified a process of programmed cell death (apoptosis), essential for their…

questionnaire to assess their day to day social behaviors and communication skills. After the completion of the assessment, Participants were asked to return in a week’s time from the completion of the assessment with their bags packed for a trip to Sydney, Australia. Australia was chosen for the study because it is an English speaking Continent and would remove any barriers having to do with language, from affecting the results of the…

worms every day and you might not care for them, but some worms actually play a great role in science. I’m talking about C. elegans. These microscopic worms are being investigated by scientist all the time. They were discovered in the 1970’s by Sydney Brenner and currently an international consortium of laboratories are collaborating on a project to sequence the entire 100,000,000 bases of DNA of the C. elegans genome (CBS). So why spend so much time studying the microscopic organisms? It turns…

visa must be held in an immigration centre until they are granted with a visa or removed from the country In 2001, Australia received negative and sometimes crudely pejorative asylum news within the government, media and other public debates. In The Sydney Morning Herald, an article on the debate over asylum seekers had been reported as blurred by rhetoric and language of fear. The Refugee Council of Australia expressed concern that the media…

1) A. In 1947 Francis Crick began working with Max Perutz at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. He began working on a new sector of the Laboratory where X-ray crystallography was being used in order to study protein structure. Crick's thesis project at the university was on X-ray diffraction of proteins. Crick then met John Watson and together they solved the structure of DNA using available X-ray data at the time and model building. After discovering the double helix model, Crick and…
