Recent research conducted by Loyola University New Orleans biology professor Patricia Dorn, Ph.D., shows that more than 60 percent of the triatomine bugs, or kissing bugs as they are more commonly known, found in the New Orleans area are infected with the Chagas parasite. Chagas disease can lead to heart disease, and it is the leading cause of heart disease in Central and South America. Dorn’s research will be published in an upcoming edition of the Journal of Medical Entomology.

Human biology is the area of science concerned with what your body is made of, how your body works, and how the body can be fixed if something goes wrong. Most study of human biology at the high-school and introductory college level focuses on the bodies various parts and systems. Higher-level study examines the processes and chemistry that allow all those parts to work properly and harmoniously.

Opened in 1992, the Molecular Biology Building is a truly unique structure. The one and one-half ton "G-Nome" figures atop each of the four corners of the building provide the first clues that this building is unique. Then, a closer inspection shows DNA helixes trailing down the building from each of the gnomes. The airy atrium provides a sense of openness inside the building, and helps to highlight the DNA molecule, in mosaic tile, that graces the floor of the atrium. In short, public art, a requirement for all newly constructed state buildings since 1978, is built into the actual structure of the Molecular Biology Building. This impressive four story structure give students and faculty state-of-the-art laboratory and classroom facilities in which to generate new knowledge in disease resistance, environmental protection, genetic alterations, and a host of other topics that will ultimately benefit virtually the entire planet.
With Argonne's help, Chicago's John G. Shedd Aquarium will test its environments to explore the microorganisms living and contributing to the ecosystems there.

admittedly being in the high school classroom brought back a lot of unwanted memories of 9th grade biology class . . .
Kunstformen der Natur (German for Art Forms of Nature) is a book of prints by German biologist Ernst Haeckel. He was a prolific author and an accomplished artist.
It was originally published in sets of ten between 1899 and 1904 and as a complete volume in 1904. The work consists of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself. This beautiful series of prints provides an exquisite representation of life on earth. It has influenced scientists and artists alike.
