Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection Welcome to the Whitman College Biology Department's Virtual Pig Dissection (VPD)! This site is designed as a supplement to laboratory dissections exploring introductory mammalian anatomy and physiology — it is basic and many details have been omitted for clarity. We hope that it is suitable for AP Biology students or for students of introductory anatomy and physiology at the college level. We have revised this site to improve the learning experience and accessibility. Please see the "About" page for more details and contact information. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it!

Earthquakes in the Himalaya are bigger than in the Alps because tectonic plates collide faster Earthquakes that happen in densely populated mountainous regions, such as the Himalaya, spell bigger earthquakes because of a fast tectonic-plate collision, according to a new study in Earth and Planetary Science Letters. Researchers from Geophysical Fluid Dynamics — ETH Zürich in Switzerland, say their findings give people a more complete view of the risk of earthquakes in mountainous regions. The new study shows that the frequency and magnitude of large earthquakes in the densely populated regions close to mountain chains — such as the Alps, Apennines, Himalaya and Zagros — depend on the collision rate of the smaller tectonic plates. In 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Gorkha-Nepal, and a year later, Norcia, Italy suffered a magnitude 6.2 earthquake. Previous research has attempted to explain the physical causes of earthquakes like these, but with ambiguous results. There are seven large tectonic plates and several smaller ones in the earth’s lithosphere — its outermost layers.

Earthquake early warning in Mexico reminds California what it still lacks The massive earthquake that ripped through Mexico is offering stark testimony on the power of modern early warning systems that, to the dismay of seismologists who have spent years pushing the technology, do not exist in California or anyplace in the United States. Experts believe the growing death toll from Thursday’s 8.1-magnitude quake off Mexico’s southern coast could have been worse if alarms had not gone off throughout faraway population centers well before the shaking started. The temblor, which struck just before midnight, knocked down buildings and caused skyscrapers to sway hundreds of miles away in Mexico City, but television newscasters, businesses and utility companies there got as much as 92 seconds to warn people and take other steps to protect them. Some experts on Friday posed a question: Why does Mexico have an early warning system while the richest country in the world does not?

Pascaline On your bike: how muscles respond to exercise ​We all know that exercise makes us fitter and healthier – but what changes take place in our cells to make this happen? Next time you are working out in the gym, or pounding the streets running or jogging, ponder this: the idea of ‘muscle memory’ – that today’s exercise has effects on our muscles years from now – has never been demonstrated scientifically. Does it really exist, and if so, how does it work? These are some of the questions we hope to answer in our on-going research, which aims to pin down the changes that occur in muscles when we exercise, and how our muscles ‘know’ to respond differently to, say, endurance training as opposed to strength training. Helping us to investigate these questions is a large team of volunteers. Not only must they cycle to exhaustion in our gym, but before and after a strenuous exercise regime lasting several weeks, we take a tiny sample of their leg muscle under local anaesthetic (figure 1).

The UN Has Called This The Second Biggest Environmental Problem Facing Our World Is it worth poisoning people to collect some gold? That’s the question now facing Romania’s Prime Minister Mihai Tudose as he contemplates reopening the Rosia Montana goldfield. Rosia Montana holds 314 tons of gold and so offers the prospect of making millions and creating short-term employment opportunities for thousands of workers. But what it also offers the possibility of environmental destruction. A mining project like this would use a process called cyanide amalgamation to extract gold, and this process has left devastation in its wake before, according to an article by Stephen Tuffnell, associate professor of modern US history at the University of Oxford.

This New Map Shows You How Many Years of Life Pollution Has Taken Away From You Based Off Where You Live 4.5 billion — that’s how many people around the world today are exposed to levels of air pollution that are at least twice what the World Health Organization (WHO) considers safe. And until now, the impact of prolonged exposure to pollution on a single person’s life expectancy has remained largely unanswered. Now, this information has become publicly available. And it might shock you.
