Lia Kent, of Stemgent's Research and Development team, has created this video to demonstrate "the proper technique for rapidly thawing hES cells from liquid nitrogen stocks, plating them on mouse embryonic feeder cells, and slowly freezing them for long-term storage." The video is also accompanied...

This video, distributed on YouTube by the Royal Society of Chemistry, is on the basic principles of Gas Chromatography. This video is a short primer which introduces the technique and instrumentation. There are many assumptions that are made in the presentation of this material, due to the fact the...

In the early days of DNA manipulation, DNA fragments were laboriously separated by gravity. In the 1970s, the powerful tool of DNA gel electrophoresis was developed. This process uses electricity to separate DNA fragments by size as they migrate through a gel matrix. This animation from Cold Spring...

This video, from G. Grant Welstead, Tobias Brambrink, and Rudolf Jaenisch of MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology explores how to generate iPS cells from Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts. The video is also accompanied by protocols for thawing and freezing...

The GeoTech Center, from Del Mar College, presents their YouTube channel, featuring videos on geospatial technology education, competitions, workforce, and more. View a number of the GeoTech Center's webinars, on topics from integrating GIS across the curriculum to developing e-portfolios.

This page, from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, offers links to organizations providing student and educator resources on global climate change. Organizations featured include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Earth System Science Education Alliance (ESSEA), the...

Gordon and Mike's ICT Podcast offers perspectives on the information and communication technologies (ICT) industries from Gordon Snyder and Mike Qaissaunee. In this podcast, Gordon and Mike are joined by Dr. Troy Swanson, an associate professor and librarian at Moraine Valley Community College in...

Alu is an example of a so-called 'jumping gene' - a transposable DNA sequence that reproduces "by copying itself and inserting into new chromosome locations." This animation from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Dolan DNA Learning Center presents Alu through a series of illustrations of the processes...

Use of embryonic stem cells in research has been hotly debated for several years. This animation presents the basics on how stem cell lines are established. This animation from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Dolan DNA Learning Center presents how embryonic stem cell lines are made through a series...
