Peer Led Team Learning

(PLTL)

PLTL is an optional program incorporated into several courses at the department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University. Each week you will be meeting with a PLTL leader and a small group of students. A PLTL Leader is a peer who has taken the course before and will guide you through the worksheets each week. You are responsible for bringing your textbook/notes from class to the session or else you will NOT receive full credit for being there.

PLTL Sessions
by Alberto Cruz - Monday, 30 August 2010, 08:32 AM
 

Students,

   The PLTL weeks run from Wednesday to Tuesday. That means that sessions will begin on Wednesday of this week; therefore, if your session is on Monday or Tuesday, then you do not have a PLTL session until next week (week of Monday, September 6). However, being that Monday, September 6 is Labor day, any student with a Monday session will have an assignment on their PLTL class page (for next week only).

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or any of the PLTL crew members.

-Albert

Biology News

  • Our cerebral cortex, or pallium, is a big part of what makes us human: art, literature and science would not exist had this most fascinating part of our brain not emerged in some less intelligent ancestor in prehistoric times. But when did this occur and what were these ancestors? Unexpectedly, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, have now discovered a true counterpart of the cerebral cortex in an invertebrate, a marine worm. Their findings are published today in Cell, and give an idea of what the most ancient higher brain centres looked like, and what our distant ancestors used them for.

  • Scientists have built a clearer picture of how lengthy strands of DNA are concertinaed when our cells grow and divide, in a discovery could help explain how cell renewal can go wrong.

  • A study published today in the journal Science shows how our bodies try to minimise potential 'collateral damage' caused by our immune system when fighting infection. The research may also provide new clues to why cigarette smoke is a significant risk factor for developing diseases of the lung such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
