The more you understand, the less you have to remember.

The pig is an outstanding model to study human diseases. Understanding the pig genome should provide enormous opportunities for treating human disorders like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. It also could improve the breeding of pigs to produce human-transplant organs.

During the first phase of the pilot/project we're essentially doing a research study, and improving upon student learning in math and science, which will be going on until the end of the school year.

Then why do you want to know?"

"Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do.

Much learning does not teach understanding.

What our study shows is that children have a fundamental understanding of addition and of numbers and we hope to harness that ability to enhance mathematic instruction.
