Résumé
Vade Mecum2: An interactive Guide to Developmental Biology (CD-ROM) by Mary S. Tyler and Ronald N. Kozlowski
Vade Mecum2 is a tool that will help you understand the development of the organisms discussed in lecture and prepare you for laboratory exercises.
- Over 140 videos and 300 labeled photographs take you through the life cycles of model organisms used in developmental biology laboratories. The easy-to-use videos provide you with the concepts, vocabulary, and motivation to enter the laboratory fully prepared.
- ivade.mecum - This feature connects users through the Internet to interactive puzzles and lists of websites relevant to each chapter, and allows users to create personal bookmarks within Vade Mecumsup>2.
- Glossary - Rollovers reveal the definitions of terms embedded in the captions. In addition, a searchable glossary is contained within Vade Mecumsup>2.
- Website - This site augments the CD-ROM, allowing convenient access to recipes from the lab book, a searchable glossary, developmental staging series for the model organisms, addresses of suppliers, and featured news stories.
- Study Questions - For assessment of your understanding of the exercises, chapter quizzes, which can be printed, are included.
- Laboratory Skills Guides - Vade Mecumsup>2 includes several "purely techniques" chapters. Topics include: making the most of the microscope, how to make microdissecting tools, and how to perform histological techniques for paraffin sections. Also included, through ivade.mecum, is a slide show on laboratory safety.
L'auteur - Scott F. Gilbert
Scott F. Gilbert, the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College, teaches developmental biology, developmental genetics, and the history of biology. After receiving his B.A. from Wesleyan University, he pursued his graduate and postdoctoral research at The Johns Hopkins University and the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Gilbert is the recipient of several awards, including the first Viktor Hamburger Award for excellence in developmental biology education, the 2004 Alexander Kowalevsky Prize for evolutionary developmental biology, an honorary degree from the University of Helsinki, and the Medal of François I from the Collège de France. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Society of Naturalists. His research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and involves the developmental genetic mechanisms by which the turtle forms its shell.
