Investigating Why Teachers Reported Continued Use and Sharing of an Educational Innovation After the Research Has Ended
This investigation is part of the Scaling-Up SimCalc experimental program, which combines dynamic representational algebra software with integrated curriculum and small professional development workshops focused on how to use the software and how to integrate this intervention into the larger year-long curriculum.

Inhibition or Knockdown of ABC Transporters Enhances Susceptibility of Adult and Juvenile Schistosomes to Praziquantel
We show that the activity of PZQ against schistosome adults and juveniles ex vivo is potentiated by co-administration of either the highly potent Pgp inhibitor tariquidar or combinations of inhibitors targeting multiple ABC multidrug transporters.
