Graham Davey J.A.Fildes@city.ac.uk Preparedness, phobias, biological preparedness, selective associations, information processing biases, classical conditioning, covariation assessment, cross-cultural studies. It is over 20 years since Seligman (1970, 1971) introduced the concept of biological preparedness to explain why fears and phobias are so much more likely with certain stimuli (e.g. snakes, spiders) than others, and a glance at contemporary psychology text books suggests that his theory has stood the test of time. The past ten years, however, have seen a significant increase in our understanding of cognitive biases in the processing of threatening stimuli. This target article will argue that such biases can also explain most of the phenomena traditionally attributed to phylogenetically based predispositions to associate fear-relevant stimuli with aversive outcomes. The paper consists of (i) a description of the phenomena to be explained, (ii) an evaluation of the evidence favouring either biological preparedness or cognitive biases, and (iii) a description of the evaluative processes that might contribute to an information processing explanation.

Extractions: The Field Museum houses some of the world's finest collections in anthropology, botany, geology and zoology. Curators and associates in the scientific departments have pursued research programs in over 50 countries throughout the world. The Field Museum recognizes the need to support basic research on our collections by interested students and scholars throughout the world. To this end, the Museum offers a modest number of grants and fellowships to visiting scientists and students for research and training on our scientific and library collections. Grants are open on a competitive basis to all individuals in the national and international scholarly community working on problems related to natural history. Preference is given to projects related to the research interests of a staff member of The Field Museum. Specific information on individual departmental research areas may be obtained by writing to the chair of one of the four scientific departments (Anthropology, Botany, Geology, or Zoology). Applicants must arrange a letter of support from a Field Museum curator in the appropriate scientific department. Applications may be sent directly to the Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee. Funds are available in three general categories: Visiting Scholarships, Graduate Student Fellowships, And Undergraduate Internships. These three categories, together with submission deadlines, are discussed below. Additional information can be obtained by writing to the Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee. Applicants for all funding categories must contact an appropriate curator at The Field Museum before submitting their application.

Extractions: References Over the last few years, there has been an explosive growth in electronic communication through the Internet. Nowhere has this been more evident than in the development of the World Wide Web (WWW). The Web is a new method for distributing information of many types. It is structured in a server-client clickable links. These links may jump to another page of text, or an image, or another Web site. Each Web site is a collection of linked documents. These can incorporate text, photographs, images, and even sounds and video clips. Sites have a Home Page that acts as an introduction and index to other documents. Web documents can include links to material that is actually stored on computers at other locations, allowing information to be combined and presented in many different ways. Physically, therefore, a Web document can combine material that resides on several different computers, perhaps in several different countries, and present it as a seamless whole to the user. Thus, the WWW is an extremely powerful and versatile means of presenting and distributing data. Web sites can be accessed from anywhere in the world and most are available 24 hours a day, allowing presentations to reach a massive readership very quickly.

Extractions: Lisa Halvorsen, Garden Writer Mother Nature may be taking a snooze this time of year, but that doesn't mean you can. February brings its share of challenging chores for gardeners, many relating to the weather. If snow cover is light in your area, you may need to add extra mulch, such as a thick layer of straw or evergreen branches, to protect landscape plants. Just make sure you don't put straw around woody plants if mice are nearby as they'll nest in the straw and strip the bark off the plants, which often results in the death of plants. You also can place wooden teepees over precious perennials or windbreaks around trees and shrubs for protection. If snowfall is heavy, keep your roof raked between snow storms to prevent problems with ice build up that may not only damage the roof but the landscape plants growing under the eaves. When raking the roof, try not to pull that load of snow directly onto landscape plants below the eves as the force of the falling snow can crush plants and break branches unless already covered by a deep layer of natural snowfall. Again, teepee-shaped wooden frames may be your best protection.

20/20 | IN FOCUS, 1.1 herb societies, and science teachers associations. like ladies' clubs, medical societies,and nursing around particular themes spiders, grasshoppers, social http://infocusmagazine.org/1.1/20_20.html
Extractions: A s an entomologist who is a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of science literacy, I've made it a point never to refuse an invitation from the community to speak about insects. Over the past 20 years, I've given presentations for school groups ranging from preschool to college, nature centers, day camps, Brownie and Cub Scout troops, garden clubs, herb societies, and science teachers associations. Perhaps more surprisingly, I've even managed to work insects into talks before groups like ladies' clubs, medical societies, and nursing homes. The key to success is to relate whatever you'd like to say to something that resonates with your audience. All told, we have shown 41 different feature films and more than 40 shorts in the name of public education, routinely drawing crowds of a thousand or more. Today, public outreach activities sponsored by university entomology departments are commonplace and movies are elements of many. Insects remain the one familiar and conspicuous group that seems to be politically correct to hate and Hollywood has shown no inclination to stop producing bad insect science fiction films. These movies present a terrific opportunity to provide people with a learning experience that's nontraditional and fun. May Berenbaum heads the department of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and has written several books on the subject. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
