Enteropathogen Resource Integration Center (ERIC): bioinformatics support for research on biodefense-relevant enterobacteria
ERIC, the Enteropathogen Resource Integration Center (www.ericbrc.org), is a new web portal serving as a rich source of information about enterobacteria on the NIAID established list of Select Agents related to biodefenseādiarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pestis. More than 30 genomes have been completely sequenced, many more exist in draft form and additional projects are underway. These organisms are increasingly the focus of studies using high-throughput experimental technologies and computational approaches. This wealth of data provides unprecedented opportunities for understanding the workings of basic biological systems and discovery of novel targets for development of vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics. ERIC brings information together from disparate sources and supports data comparison across different organisms, analysis of varying data types and visualization of analyses in human and computer-readable formats

From revolutionary texts to rebellious readers: What is Leitura Popular da BĆblia and is it really āpopularā?
Inspired by Pauloās Freireās popular education for adults and liberation theologyās āoption for the poorā,
Leitura Popular da BĆblia (LPB) was pioneered among poor urban and rural communities throughout
Latin America. It emphasised participatory methodologies, critical thinking and community solutions to
problems interpreted as political. Importantly, in its early phase, it accompanied and was inserted into
revolutionary political and social movements. This article addresses the methodology of LPB and asks
critical questions about the notion of āpopularā deployed by some liberation theologies. It problematises
the community-based presentation of popular in LPB and asks how LPB can transgress its traditional
spaces ā favelas, factories, student unions ā into newly politicised territories that root emancipatory
practices in gender, race and (inter-)religious experiences. The article draws on insights from the
experiences of LPB currently used in popular movements in Brazil and Latin America, and considers
the wider implications for LPB in light of changing popular experiences and changing practices in
revolutionary political and social movements
