ARTEFACT: FUNGI LAB OBSERVATIONS:
The image shown below is from a lab done in class , consisting of small pieces of bread which we initially rubbed the bottom of our shoes and then put different amounts of drops of water on the bread. Later, putting the bread in the petri Dish and closing it shut and sealed.
Next we observed the bread for a few days , every second day and noticed a change in the bread with the different types of fungi growing on it and in different sizes colors. as the days passed the breads gained and changed physically and visually.
In Fungi lab we observed the change in the bread every few days, This assignment was good for teaching class in terms of having students observe as well as visually see what was happening to the bread as time goex by. students got to learn how fungi grows and various forms of it. An experiment like this can be conducted to come up with alternatives for artificial preservatives, or determine if a bread is organic or not.

SCIENTISTS:
LORNE BABIUK:
- Dr. Lorne Babiuk, a leader in Canadian vaccine research, joined the University of Alberta as Vice-President (Research) in 2007.
- In addition to his work as Vice-President (Research), he is also the principal investigator on a Bill and Melinda Gates Grand Challenge in Global Health grant to develop needle-free vaccines for infants and young children.
- When he received the grant in 2005, Dr. Babiuk was one of only three Canadian researchers to succeed in obtaining a Gates Grand Challenge grant.
- Dr. Babiuk and his team are developing a vaccine to prevent whooping cough in infants and young children, to be delivered in a single dose, without using a needle.
- Children now need five doses of the vaccine to be fully protected, and children in the developing world almost never get all the boosters.
- Dr. Babiuk and his colleagues are now a year or two away from beginning clinical trials and have already developed an animal model and shown that they can deliver their vaccine in mice and pigs.
