The Neurocenter of Unige and L'Hopital Cantonal de Genève (HUG) will hold during the International Week of the brain and workshops visits to laboratories conducting research on various aspects of the brain and its functioning. We know how such visits can have a motivation for students, especially when prepared - With questions for example. They can also help students in their choice for their studies. They also allow students to get an idea of what the researcher discovered that they are not necessarily men and they do not all have thick glasses or a cap screw on the head .. . an image that would not want to follow this career!

Brochure for schools brain International Week International Week of the brain is an annual information campaign aimed at attracting the attention of everyone on the importance of the brain and Brain Research. It will take place simultaneously in many countries around the world, from 14 to 20 March 2011. To mark this event , open doors for students and teachers are organized by the Interfaculty Centre for Neuroscience Fig 2: Week of brain 2011: Registration is open. [Img ] Source: Neurocenter

As last year, two different formulas are available for classes:

• Research Workshop (1h30) Students address realistically the various stages of research. They try to solve a problem by developing a scientific experiment and analyzing experimental data with the help of a researcher. A laboratory tour is also planned during the workshop. The work is designed specifically for college students but uses real scientific data. Please note that some workshops, students should bring a calculator.

  Please check with the person responsible for registrations. Visit
• laboratory (duration 45 min) As in previous years, different laboratories welcome classes to present their research and illustrate them through demonstrations.
• any further questions, please contact Mona Spiridon, tel: 022 379 5378, email: @ mona.spiridon unige.ch

There are many commercial solutions to fit a camera to a microscope, they are expensive, and therefore rarely used by students. Yet the educational impact of a picture they made themselves from their own cells is very different from a picture in a book. However, current digital cameras - preferably the cheap equipped with small goals - and those integrated into their phones often well suited for photos through the microscope or a binocular: just press down the camera lens on the eye and the center. Sharpness at infinity is no other in general.

The main difficulty is to find - And maintain - a position that aligns the optical axes of the microscope and camera. With a little patience we finally see a bright circle in the center.

Wright Symposium: the quantum revolution

From the beautiful science accessible to all Even if it is not biology this year, the theme of this conference is exciting, and speakers of a very high level! In general, conferences are available on video after the fact from the website

the early 20th century, a revolution comparable in scope to discover the universal laws of mechanics and gravitation by Newton three centuries earlier shakes physics.
A new description of the world is obvious: our universe is not static and fixed but subject to randomly traversed by incessant waves of matter. This vision is so radical that it offends intuition and gives rise to fierce debates, pushing Albert Einstein, one of the major players in this new situation, to assert that "God does not play dice." Despite the intense debates that led to its inception, quantum mechanics has quickly proven to be an extremely effective tool to understand and predict a host of new phenomena. Its success was such that it is quickly out of research labs to enter the field of everyday life. For example, it allowed us to understand why some materials are insulators, while other drivers and has made possible the discovery of transistors, which are the foundation of modern electronics. It helped to understand why some superconducting materials had the surprising property of carry current without loss, paving the way for advancements in medical imaging in the field of energy. Other consequences of this theory led to the realization of atomic clocks so precise that they will not earn any more than fifteen seconds of error since the beginning of the universe, and have resulted design and implementation of GPS positioning system satellite. After a century of existence, at dawn the 21st century, quantum mechanics has not lost its power to surprise. They are now the least intuitive aspects that are the subject of ongoing research. Spectacular applications thereunder, as the teleportation of particles of light or the possibility, predicted by the great physicist Richard Feynman, to realize one day computers are different from those we know today, and revolutionary machines capable of handling huge number of parallel operations. This symposium Wright will give us the opportunity and the chance to explore, along with five very large international specialists in this field, some of the fascinating aspects of quantum mechanics. We'll see how effective quantum physics is able to describe our world, and will also address the question of its limits when it is confronted with the infinitely small, especially in experiments conducted at CERN, and the infinitely large interstellar space. We'll see how quantum mechanics has already profoundly changed our lives every day, and how new areas such as quantum information or quantum computers are likely to fundamentally change our lives tomorrow.

To explore how we could keep alive the link between research and teaching. Monday, November 1, 2010 Indian Heroines Affair Chronicle, souls gray " I do not know by where to start. It is very difficult. There all that time gone, that words will never return, and also faces, the smiles, the wounds. But we must still try to say that. To say that for twenty years I worked my heart. Remorse and the big issues. We need to open my knife mystery like a belly, and I plunged both hands, even if nothing will change anything. " 1917. A small village in north-eastern France, near the front where the first World War sounded their guns. By a cold December morning, a little girl of ten years - Beautiful Day, as she is nicknamed - is found strangled near the canal. The narrator returns to the crime occurred years earlier. A crime which is still surrounded by some mysteries, and from which we draw, through the pages, the portrait of the villagers. Starting with Pierre-Ange Msg, former prosecutor in retirement after more than thirty years of practice. An impressive man, very talkative and detached, can pronounce sentences of death without qualms. A lonely man, living far from the world, holed up in his huge palace along with two servants who do are rewarded by a few words a day. There is this young woman, Lysia Verhareine, "[...] far too beautiful, too beautiful to be a teacher, nice to not have a job. " The new teacher of the village, immediately appreciated by everybody, including by the Prosecutor. No doubt she was also the only one who ever knew ... understand And then there are others. Other characters, other personalities, other souls. Gray souls. "The bastards, the saints, I have never seen. There is neither all black or all white, gray is the wins. Men and their souls, it's the same ... You're a soul gray gray nicely, as we all ... ". Throughout this dark history, punctuated by incessant travel in time in which it is sometimes difficult not to get lost, we see them still rather pull these black souls to tragic destinies ... The contempt indignation, anger, humiliation, despair, bitterness or pessimism paint the backdrop to this story where each character carries with it a heavy and equally dark secret. The narrator himself, in the final pages of the book, we made a revelation as terrifying as disturbing, the book offers a powerful and unexpected ending. The scenes are described with such precision that one feels the cold of that December morning which envelops the lifeless body and tempered Beautiful Day ; means the icy silence that accompanies this scene is visualized with disgust cynical behavior of the judge can ask for poached eggs and eat them next to the corpse of the little girl he regards with disdain ... A precision, added to a first-person narration and the use of a highly personal tone, gives the story an authentic character, and sometimes looks like a diary. "For so long I feel dead. I pretend to live a little longer. I stay, that's all. " the narrator tells us. A nuanced writing, poetry and made suggestions, but always full of pessimism and a sadness that envelops us all over before we bury it under its own weight in the final pages. Finally, remember that this small masterpiece by Paul Claudel? A cold and brutal book, which overcomes morality. A dark atmosphere, the image of these souls to gray fates that populate the novel. A complex pattern in which the author himself seems to be lost: "All this sounds well entangled, like a cock-and-l'âne shambles, but basically it is just like my life, which was made as sharp pieces, impossible to pick. " written a remarkable book that may not like but which is struggling to emerge unscathed.
