The school principal as democratic leader: A critique of the Wallace Foundation’s vision of the principalship
What is the role of the public school principal in the contemporary era? As conceived by many in educational policy-making and research today, the duty of the US school leader is to ensure that the district is, above all ... -
Seasonal variation in the hepatoproteome of the dehydration- and freeze-tolerant wood frog, Rana sylvatica
Winter’s advent invokes physiological adjustments that permit temperate ectotherms to cope with stresses such as food shortage, water deprivation, hypoxia, and hypothermia. We used liquid chromatography (LC) in combination ... -
Seasonality of Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica
We compared physiological characteristics and responses to experimental freezing and thawing in winter and spring samples of the wood frog, Rana sylvatica, indigenous to Interior Alaska, USA. Whereas winter frogs can survive ... -
Seeking congruity between goals and roles: A new look at why women opt out of STEM careers
Although women have nearly attained equality with men in several formerly male-dominated fields, they remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We argue that one important factor ... -
