The folks at the library hope that you had a great Spring Break. Now that you're back, though, you're already probably thinking about all the homework you have left to do this semester. Well, we have good news for you.
We're here to help you with that. Come by the library this week and we'll help answer questions for you, help you figure out a timeline for your work, and assist you with the resources you need.
It's not easy coming back from vacation, but think of it this way: you're almost there. The semester only has about a month left and you can get some work done in that amount of time. It's just a matter of sitting down and coming up with a solid plan.
Good luck and we'll see you soon!

Scholarly Journals, Vaccines, and & Andrew Wakefield
The year 2011 has already gotten off to an interesting start, especially in the area of scholarly journal publications.
Andrew Wakefield, a medical researcher, published a famous study in 1997 in which he claimed he had found a connection between the administration of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) and the development of autism in children. This study was published in the famous British medical journal, the Lancet. It caused a huge stir worldwide and led to countless numbers of unvaccinated children.
The Lancet has retracted the study. Andrew Wakefield has been investigated by journalists and medical boards and found to have committed fraudulent actions when performing the study. No other scientists have been able to replicate any of his data, thus suggesting that his study was incorrect and there is no connection between MMR vaccine and autism.
You can read more about this here and here.

Science News
If you visit the Grand View Library, you will find that we have a great collection of science books. You can learn quite a bit about biology, chemistry, and physics from our collection. Pulling one of the biology books off the shelf, you would be able to learn that all living things on the Earth are composed of six base elements (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus). It has been this way for a long time and is considered one of the backbones of biological history.
Today, that all changed.
Scientists with NASA's Astrobiology Institute announced that through intensive research, they have discovered a new form of life, a microbe, living in a lake in California. The Mono Lake microbe contains five of the six elements, but is missing phosphorus. In its place, scientists discovered that the cells were using arsenic instead.
This is a major announcement and rewrites some of the basic ideas that we have about biology on our planet.
Take a look at some of the information that's been posted about this historic announcement:
