Traditional education, which is mainly based on evaluating theoretical content at the end of a course, is not in keeping with the skillset we require in the twenty-first century. Today, we need creative and innovative individuals who can think critically, who are capable of learning to learn, and who have complex problem-solving skills. We need people who can work collaboratively using transdisciplinary communication skills. We need citizens who are aware of local needs but have a global vision. They must make decisions not only based on their own well-being, but also in the best interests of the community and the planet. They must understand that the solution requires a balance. People can acquire these skills through design thinking, which builds the learning process by carrying out projects, and theorizes based on set challenges. Biodesign for High Schools is a pedagogical proposal that combines scientific topics with a creative approach; it offers a plethora of possibilities to prepare future high school graduates to respond to the needs of today's world.
La educación tradicional, que se basa principalmente en evaluar un contenido teórico al finalizar el curso, no se alinea con el desarrollo de competencias que requiere el ciudadano del siglo XXI. Hoy necesitamos individuos creativos e innovadores, con pensamiento crítico, capaces de aprender a aprender y con habilidades de resolución de problemas complejos. Personas que trabajen de manera colaborativa con habilidades de comunicación transdisciplinar. Ciudadanos que conozcan las necesidades locales con visión global y que tengan la capacidad de tomar decisiones y actuar considerando aquello que favorece el bienestar propio, el de la comunidad y el del planeta, y que comprendan que la solución radica en el equilibrio entre ellos.Estas habilidades pueden ser adquiridas por medio del pensamiento de diseño, el cual construye el aprendizaje mediante el desarrollo de proyectos y se teoriza de acuerdo con el reto que ha sido planteado. Biodiseño en colegios presenta una propuesta pedagógica en combinación con temáticas científicas y brinda un universo de posibilidades que prepara a los futuros bachilleres para responder a las necesidades del mundo de hoy.
There is widespread rhetorical agreement that the fashion industry must get itself onto a more sustainable footing. What does this mean in practice, and how can sustainability be achieved in different regions around the world? This book brings together expert scholars and reflective practitioners via a network of dialogue and exchange to help drive forward a sustainable future for the fashion industry. With a focus on technological innovation, the contributions to this book provide a range of case studies from design thinking, through digital clothing and inclusive fashion. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of circular business and the fashion industry, and provides a unique resource for readers seeking to understand more about the need for responsible fashion and how technology might be able to help.

This work begins with a boy named Geraldo growing up Sicilian in Rochester, New York, and ends with the author breakfasting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House. It is a portrait of what it was like to come of age in the 1930s and 1940s.
Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.
