Who's that girl? It's me!
Well hey there angel faces. I'm new. To this site. I've role-played before--kind of--on occasion. Whatever. Introductions right?
Call me Tia. I'm a writer-in-training and still in high school (ew.) majoring in art. I like to write and randomly burst into song at any one word. I'm kind of socially awkward and I watch a lot of anime, probably more than the recommended dose.
Also talking in caps lock is fun. and that's pretty much me in an eggshell because nutshells are way too small. andandand I'm a Sagittarius (I think I spelled that right). HOLLABACK.
What about the one that doesn't start with 'Once upon a time'?
How does that story end?

Carnegie Institution
Washington, D.C. -- Plant science is key to addressing the major challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century, according to Carnegie's David Ehrhardt and Wolf Frommer. In a Perspective published in The Plant Cell, the two researchers argue that the development of new technology is key to transforming plant biology in order to meet human needs.
Plants serve as the conduit of energy into the biosphere, provide food and materials used by humans, and they shape our environment. According to Ehrhardt and Frommer, the three major challenges facing humanity in our time are food, energy, and environmental degradation. All three are plant related.
All of our food is produced by plants, either directly or indirectly via animals that eat them. Plants are a source of energy production. And they are intimately involved in climate change and a major factor in a variety of environmental concerns, including agricultural expansion and its impact on habitat destruction and waterway pollution.
What's more, none of these issues are independent of each other. Climate change places additional stresses on the food supply and on various habitats. So plant research is instrumental in addressing all of these problems and moving into the future.
For plant research to move significantly forward, Ehrhardt and Frommer say technological development is critical, both to test existing hypotheses and to gain new information and generate fresh hypotheses. If we are to make headway in understanding how these essential organisms function and build the foundation for a sustainable future, then we need to apply the most advanced technologies available to the study of plant life, they say.
They divide the technology into three categories: existing technology that isn't being applied for all of its potential uses, new readily envisioned technology, and technology we'd like to have but don't know how to create.
The technological overview includes expanding existing technologies such as DNA sequencing, RNA cataloguing, mass spectroscopy, fluorescence-based microscopy, and electron microscopy, among many others. A key focus is on the advances possible through advanced imaging technologies.
Ehrhardt and Frommer point out that many of the most often-cited academic papers related to the development new technology, demonstrating the interest of the scientific community.
"We certainly expect that new technologies will continue to revolutionize biological research," they say. "Plant science has not often been the driver of innovation but often enough has profited from developments made in other areas."

Student: Limbaugh out of bounds (Politico)
The Georgetown University law student who was called a ?slut? by Rush Limbaugh for testifying on Capitol Hill about women?s access to contraception condemned the conservative radio host Thursday night for remarks ?outside the bounds of civil discourse.?
?I?m not the first woman to be treated this way by numerous conservative media outlets, and hopefully I?ll be the last,? Sandra Fluke said on MSNBC?s ?The Ed Show.? ?This is really inappropriate. This is outside the bounds of civil discourse.?
Continue ReadingFluke described to Schultz the experience of receiving a barrage of public attacks from Limbaugh on Wednesday and Thursday.
?My reaction is what the reaction that a lot of women have when they?ve been called these names. Initially you?re stunned, but then very quickly you?re outraged,? she said. ?Because this is historically the kind of language that is used to silence women especially when women stand up and say that these are their reproductive health care needs and this is what they need.?
Fluke repeatedly expressed her gratitude to members of Congress and others in her community for the outpouring of support. ?I think it?s clear from what they?ve said that they?re not going to be silenced today,? she said.
The third-year law student quickly became a symbol for women?s reproductive rights in Washington after Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) prohibited her from testifying at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee?s all-male panel hearing on the issue earlier this month.
Fluke was asked to testify at an unofficial hearing of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee convened by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), during which she described her experience of being a student at a religious-affiliated campus whose insurance coverage does not provide contraceptives for women.
Limbaugh infuriated Democrats for calling Fluke a ?prostitute? and a ?slut? on his show Wednesday, but despite the criticism, showed no signs of apologizing or scaling back his remarks on the air Thursday.
Asked if the Republican Party should denounce Limbaugh?s comments as many Democrats have demanded, Fluke told Schultz, ?I don?t really see why anyone would not condemn this type of language.?
She also suggested that being thrown in the middle of a national controversy would not deter her from continuing to share her views.
?I would always be willing to speak out in favor of women?s health and the type of accessible affordable health care that they need,? Fluke said, when asked if she would testify again.
?You?re very brave. And it?s unfortunate that a college student has to put up with this,? Schultz said at the conclusion of the interview. ?It?s rather an amazing story. I feel like I have to apologize to you tonight and I want to say that you?re very brave to stand in front of the media and do what you?re doing.?
