A 26-year-old biology teacher from Hwa Chong Institution was on board the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501. Ms Florentina Maria Widodo, from Indonesia, is affectionately known to family and friends as Tina. She teaches A-level biology at the school. Her name is listed as No. 135 on the passenger list issued by the airline on Sunday. Her Singaporean boyfriend, Andy Paul Chen, was at Changi Airport yesterday afternoon to travel to Surabaya, Indonesia. "She is my girlfriend. I'm going there now to meet her family members," he told reporters in Mandarin. He was accompanied by his parents, and seemed to be in shock. Ms Widodo and Mr Chen had both studied at the National University of Singapore, and were members of the university's guitar ensemble. Ms Widodo reportedly graduated from the National Institute of Education last year. Mr Chen took to Facebook on Sunday to inform friends and family members that Ms Widodo was among the passengers on board the aircraft. Her father, who is named as FY Widodo on Facebook, posted a photo of himself and his daughter on the social-networking site.

A visit from a civil rights Freedom Rider is among the highlights of the 2015 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration in Dayton. David Fankhauser will be the keynote speaker for the annual MLK Celebration Banquet, which will be held 6 p.m. on Jan. 19 at the Dayton Convention Center. Fankhauser was one of the Freedom Riders who rode interstate buses into the segregated south of the United States in 1961 to challenge segregated interstate facilities. At the time, Fankhauser, a white male, was a student at Central State University, a historically black college in Wilberforce. He is now a biology and chemistry professor at the University of Cincinnatis Clermont College. Sometimes people forget that in the civil rights movement there were not just black people. (Fankhausers) living proof that there were others involved with the movement, said Anthony Whitmore, president and general chairperson for the non-profit that is hosting Daytons 2015 Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration. The theme for the celebration, which is hosted by MLK Dayton, Inc., is Lift Every Voice, according to Whitmore. As we looked at what was happening not just in our city, but in Missouri and other places across the country, it looked as … Continue reading →

December 28, 2014 Credit: Thinkstock Brett Smith for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online Biologists have long-wondered what causes a rapidly-growing cell to split: The size it reaches? Or the length of time its been growing? According to a new report in the journalCurrent Biology, a team of American researchers has finally gotten to the bottom of this mystery. How cells control their size and maintain stable size distributions is one of the most fundamental, unsolved problems in biology, said study author Suckjoon Jun, an assistant professor of physics and molecular biology at UC San Diego. Even for the bacteriumE. coli, arguably the most extensively studied organism to date, no one has been able to answer this question. In the study, researchers created a small device to separate and physically adjust individual genetic components. It turned out that we can use this device to also follow the life history of thousands of individual bacterial cells for hundreds of generations, Jun said. We looked at the growth patterns of the cells very, very carefully, and realized that there is something really special about the way the cells control their size. In our study, we monitored the growth and division of hundreds of thousands … Continue reading →
