19. pop art lo res
Pop art emerged in the 1950s in England when a group of artists called The Independent Group began celebrating mass-produced popular culture like advertising, films, and music instead of rejecting it. Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton are considered the fathers of British pop art, with Paolozzi making collages from comics and magazines in 1947. By the 1960s, a pop art movement was underway in America as well, centered in New York. Artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist began creating work reflecting American culture and consumerism as a new way to make art relevant to modern experiences. Pop art had a huge influence in changing how people view everyday objects as aesthetically beautiful things in our lives

Nasal spray may treat alzheimer's
A study found that a nasal spray containing an artificial form of insulin may improve memory and cognitive abilities in people with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. The study of 60 participants found that those receiving 40 international unit doses of the insulin detemir nasal spray for 21 days showed significantly better short-term memory and processing abilities than those receiving lower doses or a placebo. Specifically, those with the APOE-e4 gene who are at higher risk of Alzheimer's saw greater benefits from the higher dosage, while lower-risk participants saw fewer effects overall. This suggests nasally administered insulin may help treat cognitive decline, building on previous promising trials.

Authentic pedagogy and participatory learning - a research in progress
This is a presentation about my Ph.D. research in progress that was given to a small group of secondary learning leaders on November 2012. In this talk:
1. I first explore the definition of authenticity and argued that authentic pedagogy is a modification of the inauthentic pedagogy which shaped by the wider educational systems.
2. Then I introduce four noticeable movements to promote or adapt authentic pedagogy in three English speaking countries. The qualities they advocate seemed to be in three categories for me: authentic learner, authentic knowledge construction and authentic learning context.
3. Next, following brief description of my research design and the data collected, I discussed some preliminary findings. Qualitative analysis of the data revealed two world views of school: a) expert-led model and b) participatory model.
4. Quantitative analysis suggested that authenticity, as perceived by students, has a small but positive correlation with the sense of engagement with school as well as engagement with learning beyond the school.
