Being a genius isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For nineteen-year-old scientific prodigy Alice Pemberton, whose hobbies include creating wormholes, it’s actually awesome. But, in a galaxy teeming with aliens, being inquisitive can be dangerous. Desperate to unravel the secrets of the Krill, owners of a galactic wide spectral network containing the souls of the dead, Alice volunteered Eugene McGillicuddy to find a theoretical death particle. However, before she could reanimate Eugene, members of the Secret Service arrive to hire Eugene on a matter of national security. With science as her North Star, and Eugene out of commission, Alice must uncover a galaxy wide conspiracy, fend off the Krill who fear prying eyes into their monopoly of ghosts, and revive a quasi-dead Eugene McGillicuddy. On the knife edge of noir and absurdity, Alice Pemberton’s Bureau of Scientific Inquiry will leave you breathless from this fast-paced thrilling adventure.
Eugene Jack McGillicuddy has the psychic ability to answer any question asked to him and he wants it kept a secret. In order to hide his gift he's decided to work in the one profession tasked with answering tough questions: private detective. But alien ambassadors in the Galactic Congress have learned of his power and blackmail Jack to find an ancient artifact hidden on Earth. After his gift only gives him vague answers, he traverses the galaxy looking for clues and discovers the artifact grants godlike powers that could destroy the cosmos. With help from his accidentally sentient AI partner Eddie, dinosaur diplomat Kah, and genius, not-at-all-a-secretary Alice, Jack must embrace the profession he never wanted, stay one step ahead of the ambassadors, and somehow rescue the entire universe.
The National Science Foundation funded a synthesis study on the status, contributions, and future direction of discipline-based education research (DBER) in physics, biological sciences, geosciences, and chemistry. DBER combines knowledge of teaching and learning with deep knowledge of discipline-specific science content. It describes the discipline-specific difficulties learners face and the specialized intellectual and instructional resources that can facilitate student understanding. Discipline-Based Education Research is based on a 30-month study built on two workshops held in 2008 to explore evidence on promising practices in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. This book asks questions that are essential to advancing DBER and broadening its impact on undergraduate science teaching and learning. The book provides empirical research on undergraduate teaching and learning in the sciences, explores the extent to which this research currently influences undergraduate instruction, and identifies the intellectual and material resources required to further develop DBER. Discipline-Based Education Research provides guidance for future DBER research. In addition, the findings and recommendations of this report may invite, if not assist, post-secondary institutions to increase interest and research activity in DBER and improve its quality and usefulness across all natural science disciples, as well as guide instruction and assessment across natural science courses to improve student learning. The book brings greater focus to issues of student attrition in the natural sciences that are related to the quality of instruction. Discipline-Based Education Research will be of interest to educators, policy makers, researchers, scholars, decision makers in universities, government agencies, curriculum developers, research sponsors, and education advocacy groups.

This book documents the shortcomings of the MLS project—an ill-conceived approach to a situation that no longer exists—and suggests a new approach to professionalism for librarians.
