Students (N=1,146) from five Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma participated in this study. Although students report a moderate level of HIV knowledge, they are deficient on three items related to the role of Nonoxynol-9 on HIV transmission, role of prior STD history on HIV transmission, and meaning of a positive blood HIV test. While women scored significantly higher on HIV knowledge scores (Men = 6.19, Women = 6.47, t(519) = -2.887, p = .004), more men reported using HIV testing services on campus (Men = .33, Women = .23, t(950.545) = 3.701, p = .0005), and being more aware of HIV testing services in their community (Men = .72, Women = .65, t (1056.271) = 2.343, p = .019). Significant differences were found between men and women on all four ...

The settings for many of today's most popular television shows are crime labs, science halls and emergency rooms. But America's fascination with science, medicine and technology is not merely fictional - our leadership in new and emerging fields is very real. And Texas is leading the way.
For the past five years, I have convened annual higher education summits in Washington D.C. to bring together Texas' academic leaders and senior Administration officials to help build new research partnerships. I'm pleased to report that our hard work is paying off. According to a newly released study, federal research fu...

The first anchor tenants have started moving into the planned "medical city" in the 7,000-acre Lake Nona development in southeast Orlando, creating an influx of high-wage jobs: * Burnham Institute for Medical Research, which opened in May, eventually will employ more than 300 people with $27.8 million in annual salaries and benefits. * The University of Central Florida College of Medicine, where the first class of 40 students started classes in August 2009, will employ 350 with $40.6 million in annual salaries and benefits. * The Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center plans to add 1,170 jobs when it opens in 2012, eventually ramping up to 2,100 and paying $262 million in salaries and benefits. * Lake Nona's largest project--a Nemours Children's Hospital set to open in 2012--expected to...

A common refrain heard among the calls for ratification of the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, was that if people were old enough to fight and die for their country, they were old enough to vote. The same rationale that worked in 1971 could be dusted off today in the debate over prayer at colleges and universities, including many throughout Texas.
Not long ago, a federal appeals court struck down the practice of opening meals with chaplain-led prayer at the venerable Virginia Military Institute, a four-year undergraduate institution founded in 1839 as the nation's first state military college. Citing Supreme Court rulings that prohibited school-sponsored prayer in middle and high schools, the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals reasoned that VMI's prayers were ...

A Texas oilman nicknamed "Pete" (for petroleum) became the inspiration for the late Charles Kaufman, a South Hills philanthropist who made a $50 million gift that aims to transform scientific research in Pennsylvania.
Robert Welch, despite just a sixth-grade education, liked to hang around with scientists, geologists and petroleum engineers. He liked them so much that in 1954, two years after his death, he left $25 million to start The Welch Foundation and support research in chemistry in Texas.
