Hello everyone,

The UCSB Pre-Dental Organization is holding its first meeting next
Thursday (11/8) at 7PM! The location of the meeting is TBA, but check
back at www.pdoucsb.org for the most up-to-date information.  At this
meeting we will discuss about what dentistry is about and inform you
about the possible opportunities that this organization can offer such
as dental school tours, meeting local dentists, community service and
other activities. We will have two dentists from the Eastside Family
Dental Clinic come to speak of what they do at work and inform us
about what we as Pre-Dental student can do to help our community. Food
and soda will be served so please e-mail back at pdoucsb at gmail.com if
you are attending so we can get a rough estimate of people showing up.
I look forward in meeting you all!

Message-ID: <4731E56B.9080108@lifesci.ucsb.edu>


Do you have students interested in pursuing a challenging doctoral or 
masters degree program in the biomedical sciences after graduation? If 
so, they should consider one of the excellent programs available in the 
Roswell Park Graduate Division of the University at Buffalo, State 
University of New York at Buffalo. I would appreciate it if you would 
forward this information to your students.

By way of introduction, Roswell Park Cancer Institute 
http://www.roswellpark.org/apply 
<http://pull.xmr3.com/p/159-A7C9/2403924/http_www_roswellpark_org_apply.html> 
was the first and still is one of the leading cancer centers in the 
country, with a faculty and staff of 2,200 and a 25-acre campus of 
modern facilities near downtown Buffalo. Your students who enter the 
Roswell Park Graduate Division will benefit from an intensive research 
immersion and a faculty with a singular focus on cancer. This also 
affords students true multidisciplinary and translational research 
opportunities. The University at Buffalo is the largest and most 
comprehensive institution in the New York State system, and the premier 
public center for graduate and professional education.

The Roswell Park Graduate Division enrolls 180 students, and more than 
150 of Roswell Park's senior staff hold professorial titles at the 
University. Students may select any of our faculty as mentors. Students 
are recruited from across the United States and worldwide, and alumni 
hail from two dozen countries and nearly every state in the union. 
Students in the Roswell Park Division are also students at the 
University and their degrees are granted by the State University of New 
York.

The Roswell Park Graduate Division offers doctoral programs in Cancer 
Pathology & Prevention, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Immunology, 
Molecular & Cellular Biophysics & Biochemistry, and Molecular 
Pharmacology & Cancer Therapeutics. In addition, students can pursue an 
Interdisciplinary Master of Science Program tailored to meet their 
interests and strengths in biophysics, epidemiology, cellular and 
molecular biology, chemoprevention, pathology, genetics, immunology, 
pharmacology, physiology, or structural biology.

Courses are scheduled at one of the two nearby campuses of the 
University or at Roswell Park, and research is done in the excellent 
facilities at Roswell Park, under the mentorship of leading scientists 
and academic physicians.

It's said that the success of the alumni is one measure of the quality 
of a program. If that is the case, the program available in the Roswell 
Park Graduate Division is a quality one, with PhD alumni entering the 
top USA and international postdoctoral programs, and more than 50 
percent of master graduates having gone on to earn medical degrees. 
Other MS graduates have entered PhD programs, the scientific workforce 
or the teaching profession. Still others have earned MBA or legal degrees.

Please advise your students to check us out and visit our website at 
http://www.roswellpark.org/apply 
<http://pull.xmr3.com/p/159-A7C9/2403924/http_www_roswellpark_org_apply.html>

PLEASE SHARE WITH INTERESTED STUDENTS

 

Greetings,

 

We are currently accepting applications for the University of Montana's 
Wilderness and Civilization program. The program spans two-semesters, 
integrates course work from a variety of disciplines, and takes students 
on extended wilderness and regular field trips throughout the state. 
 Applications are due April 1, 2008 for the 2008-2009 academic year 
(early admissions applications are due Feb. 15).  We encourage 
participation of out-of-state students as the program offers an in-depth 
look at Montana and its conservation approaches and wildland values.  If 
you have students who may be interested, please make them aware of this 
opportunity.  A full description of the program including course syllabi 
can be found at www.cfc.umt.edu/wc <http://www.cfc.umt.edu/wc>.  A brief 
description of the program follows with a FAQ sheet attached.  
Out-of-state students may participate through the National Students 
Exchange and other programs.  If students have further questions about 
the program please refer them to the Wilderness Institute, 
wi at cfc.umt.edu <mailto:wi at cfc.umt.edu> or 406-243-5361.

 

Thanks for sharing this information with students!

 

*The Wilderness and Civilization Program*

 

The Wilderness and Civilization program is located in some of the 
wildest country in the lower forty-eight states.  Based at the 
University of Montana in Missoula, we are surrounded by vast forests and 
grasslands and millions of acres of unfragmented lands that support 
biodiversity and provide important wildlife habitat.  This living 
classroom is integrated with on-campus studies at the University 
throughout the year.

 

The two-semester program offers students a minor in Wilderness Studies 
and is designed to complement any major.  Many of the program courses 
meet general education and/or honors requirements.  This is a great 
opportunity for students to blend interdisciplinary classes with regular 
field trips throughout Montana.  Students learn first hand how the 
ecology, politics, history and culture of a place interact and shape 
conservation efforts.  The program is open to sophomores, juniors, and 
seniors of any major.

 

Wilderness and Civilization Program courses typically include: 

    * Wildland Conservation Policy and Governance, RESCON 370S
    * Literature and the Environment, ENLT 371
    * Ecological Perspectives of Native Americans, NAS 303E
    * Issues in Wilderness Ecology; RESCON 271N
    * Montana Wilderness Policy and Politics, RESCON 423
    * Dream Solutions, ART 295
    * Wilderness and Civilization I & II, RESCON 373
    * Wilderness and Civilization Field Studies I & II, RESCON 273
    * Wildlands Community Project (Internship), RESCON 398

/                                                                                    
/

Integrated with the above curriculum are a series of long and short 
field experiences.  The program begins with a 10-day wilderness trip in 
the Bob Marshall (or the North Cascades National Park, if the Bob is 
burning like this year) and ends with a 10-day float down the Wild and 
Scenic Missouri River.  Shorter field trips include visits to 
Yellowstone National Park, the Yaak Valley, the Flathead Reservation and 
more.  Fieldwork complements classroom teaching by exploring area 
ecology, conservation strategies, and a variety of land management issues.  

 

For more information visit www.cfc.umt.edu/wc 
<http://www.cfc.umt.edu/wc> or email wi at cfc.umt.edu 
<mailto:wi at cfc.umt.edu>.

           

*The deadline for application to the 2008-2009 program is April 1 (early 
admissions applications are due Feb. 15).  *

Subject: [Biology-U-L] Dr. Cynthia Lewis presents "Popular Misconceptions in
 Medical	School Admissions"]
Message-ID: <473A1456.3040702@lifesci.ucsb.edu>

Attention all HPA members and Pre-health students,

I am extremely excited to announce that Dr. Cynthia Lewis is coming to
speak here at UCSB this Thursday, Nov. 15th at 7pm in Girvetz 1004.
Lewis is an expert Medical School Advisor with 22 years of experience
in the field and a 97% admittance rate of advised applicants.  Her
presentation on Thursday will focus on "Popular Misconceptions in
Medical School Admissions."  I had the honor of meeting Dr. Lewis last
year when she came to speak and she is definitely a person worth
meeting if you have ANY concerns about Medical School whatsoever.
Even if you feel you know all there is to know about Medical School, I
still highly encourage you to check her out.  Her workshops last year
were EXTREMELY helpful. This presentaion is, in fact, a workshop, and
a excellent opportunity to get some great advice on what makes you a
strong candidate for medical school and what you can do to strengthen
your weak spots.  Her presentation will probably run 1-1.5 hours (you
will not be dissappointed i promise!!!).  As always pizza will be
provided.  Feel free to check out Dr. Lewis' website at
www.lewisassoc.com.  Hope to see you all there.

for.  I have attached the flier announcing their info session and would 
also be happy to take resumes of students.  Can you help me by 
disseminating the information?

Their info session, which will include Woodstocks, is *Nov. 19th from 
12:00-1:00 in the Engineering Science Building ESB 1001. * Anyone with 
more questions is welcome to contact me.  I have the flier for the Info 
Session attached as well.

Methodological advances in marine microbiology over the past few decades 
have led to an explosion of research in the fields of marine 
microbiology and marine microbial ecology.   Microbial - microbial 
interactions and their interactions with their chemical and physical 
environments greatly affect the processes that govern the cycling of 
life's essential elements and energy in the world's oceans.  The field 
of microbial oceanography has evolved from the merger of marine 
microbiology, microbial ecology and environmental 
genomics/proteomic/transcriptomics.  It is a rapidly evolving and 
dynamic field that is interdisciplinary in nature.  Subjects covered in 
this course will span from traditional microbiology, to microbial 
biogeochemistry to the use of modern genomic approaches in studying 
microbial diversity and function within the world's ocean.

*EEMB 144L  Marine Microbiology Laboratory Synopsis:*

This laboratory will be a survey of the diversity, physiology and 
ecology of marine prokaryote and methods used to identify, quantify and 
measure their activities.  Students will conduct a central experiment at 
the beginning of the quarter and collect samples for a variety of 
assays.  They  will use a combination of traditional marine 
microbiological techniques together with modern molecular approaches to 
assess microbial activity and microbial diversity within these 
samples.   Among some of the methods included are image analysis 
assisted microscopy, PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization and use of 
an automated gene sequencer for terminal restriction fragment length 
polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis.  The results of this assays will be 
presented in the context of the central experiment.

enzyme and membrane adaptations to temperature and hydrostatic pressure 
(e.g., in the deep sea), how some animals survive the absence of oxygen 
(while we die from strokes or heart attacks), the energetics of exercise 
in animal athletes, the biochemistry of human anorexia and adaptations 
to prolonged fasting in penguins, bears and seals. 

In addition to being applicable to the major requirements for the 
general biological sciences and specialized EEMB majors, this course is 
also applicable to the following specialized MCDB majors

    * Biochemistry-Molecular Biology, Area E
    * Cell and Developmental Biology, Area F

Re:	New Student Off-Campus Travel Accident Insurance (BUS-23)

NEW STUDENT OFF-CAMPUS TRAVEL ACCIDENT INSURANCE

The University has purchased new, broader Student Off-Campus Travel 
Accident Insurance. Students participating in off-campus activities 
sponsored and supervised by the University are now covered worldwide, 24 
hours a day when traveling out-of-state or overseas. In addition to the 
typical coverages, this policy includes coverage for emergency medical 
evacuation, out-of-country medical expenses, and security extraction. The 
new carrier, ACE USA, is highly rated and provides insurance products and 
services throughout the U.S. and around the world.

COVERAGE BENEFITS

Emergency Medical Evacuation - if you are injured or become ill and cannot 
be treated locally ACE will provide emergency transportation to the nearest 
hospital where you can be effectively treated.

Out-of-Country Medical Expenses - if you are overseas and need to be 
treated because you are sick or injured, this coverage will pay your 
medical expenses ($10,000 max/occurrence).

Security Extraction - if you are in a dangerous situation outside your 
control, ACE will work to get you out of danger.

Travel Assistance Services - if you need to find a hospital, lose your 
passport, need temporary financial assistance, you can call ACE and they 
will help.

REGISTRATION

The new coverage is provided at no cost to students.  To deliver the 
services and protections offered by this coverage to the thousands of 
University students participating in UC-sponsored programs all around the 
world, the University needs accurate information about where its students 
are.  Therefore, the University requires all students participating in 
UC-sponsored programs and traveling out-of-state or overseas to register 
their travel plans prior to departure. Students register by going to 
www.uctravel.org and filling out the "Business Traveler Insurance" form.

When the traveler registers s/he will obtain a Confirmation of Coverage 
card.  The Card will facilitate the traveler's ability to obtain services 
and should be carried by the traveler until s/he returns from the trip. 
Upon registration, the traveler will also receive an important list of 
telephone numbers  for medical emergency care or travel assistance.

INFORMATION

If you have questions or require additional information, please contact the 
campus Risk Management office at 893-2860.

	Needed!]
Message-ID: <474B34F0.6080104@lifesci.ucsb.edu>

Please distribute widely.

These tiny shorebirds need your help!

Make your trip to the beach a more eventful experience by volunteering or
interning for the Snowy Plover Docent Program. The next volunteer
training is on Saturday, December 8th, from 9AM-1:30PM at the Cliff House, Coal
Oil Point Reserve.

The Western Snowy Plover and CA Least Tern are small shorebirds in need of our
help. Habitat destruction and increased human recreation on beaches have caused
dramatic declines in their populations over the past few decades, leading to
their protection under the Endangered Species Act.

The Snowy Plover Docent Program (SPDP) was started in August of 2001 to assist
in the protection of the Snowy Plovers at Coal Oil Point Reserve, and to raise
awareness in the community of the importance of the preservation of this
species and its habitat.

The program recruits, trains, and organizes volunteers to become Plover Docents.
Each docent plays a crucial role in the protection of the plovers by educating
beach users about this threatened species and how to use the beach responsibly.
Docents provide a personal and friendly contact for beach users. They promote
public interest and understanding, and in turn, dramatically increase the
effectiveness of other plover/tern management efforts at the Reserve. The
Docent Commitment is only 2 hours per week after trained.

The SPDP operates at Coal Oil Point Reserve, which lies between Isla Vista and
Ellwood shores near west campus. Our office is located near the beach entrance,
across form the Cliff House. The nearest major cross streets are El Colegio and
Storke Road.


For more information or to register for the next training, please

The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County and local contractor The Native 
Landscape (TNL) have several positions available in the restoration of 
native plant communities at the Coronado Butterfly Preserve in the 
Ellwood neighborhood of Goleta.  For the past five years, TNL has been 
awarded grants from the UCSB Coastal Fund to hire students and restore 
portions of the Preserve.  Over forty UCSB students have participated in 
the restoration of over an acre of coastal sage scrub, oak woodland, and 
native grassland, helping to plant 5,000 plants representing forty 
species.  The sixth and final year of restoration will begin in 
January.  Work will take place every Monday in flexible 3-4 hour 
shifts throughout Winter quarter and into the first half of Spring 
quarter. * Student interns will be paid a $250 stipend for thirty hours 
of work, or receive one unit of academic credit through the 
Environmental Studies program or Geography department.  *Work includes 
developing and maintaining a small nursery, mowing non-native weeds and 
removing the resulting thatch, preparing the soil and eliminating the 
weed seed bank through roto-tilling, planting nursery stock and seeding 
the site with natives, and maintaining the plantings through irrigation 
and manual weeding.  Students will work together in small groups with 
the contractor and learn plant identification, some basic botany and 
plant ecology, and the natural history of our region.  A brief site 
visit/orientation will be scheduled before the end of Fall quarter to 
hire the crew.  If interested, please call Jason at 569-5429.  Thanks!

Dear Colleague,

Research programs.  Fully-funded scholarships for outstanding students 
are available for accelerated Ph.D. or M.D. Ph.D. combined training. 
 Would you please forward the message below to outstanding students 
interested in pursuing doctoral training in biomedical research.  Also, 
we would be grateful if you could post the attached one-page poster on 
student affairs bulletin boards at your school.
 
Thank you very much for your assistance!

*Dear Prospective Scholar:
 
As an outstanding student, I'm writing to tell you about two 
groundbreaking new doctoral programs in biomedical research, the Oxford 
University-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Scholars in Biomedical 
Research and the Cambridge University-NIH Health Sciences Research 
Scholars.  *The application deadline of January 1, 2008 is fast 
approaching.*  These programs are built on a unique arrangement in which 
students spend approximately two years at either Oxford or Cambridge and 
two years at the NIH working on a collaborative research project. 
 Oxford and Cambridge have for centuries been two of the most prominent 
universities internationally and the NIH is the largest biomedical 
research facility in the world with most of its activities located in 
Bethesda, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
 
There is no standard curriculum in these programs and each student 
pursues an individualized course of study in which thesis work is 
initiated at the beginning of the first year.  Because these are 
accelerated programs, students typically receive a Ph.D. or D. Phil. 
degree from Oxford or Cambridge in 3 to 5 years.  These innovative 
programs grew out of the realization that the next generation of 
research scientists will increasingly need to think in an 
interdisciplinary fashion and to surmount the intellectual and 
experimental barriers that presently exist between traditional 
disciplines.  All students become members of a college at Oxford or 
Cambridge and have an opportunity to immerse themselves in British 
academic life.  
 
All students are *FULLY FUNDED* by the NIH for the duration of their 
doctoral work and receive a stipend.  We now also offer support for 
combined M.D./PhD training in which the PhD is obtained at Oxford or 
Cambridge and the M.D. is obtained from one of the 41 top American 
medical schools that have Medical Scientist Training Programs.  
 
The application is available online and easy to complete.  There is no 
application fee and the application can be found at our newly launched 
website: *_http://oxcam.gpp.nih.gov/index.asp_*.  


Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  We hope to 
hear from you soon!

later if needed.  Thanks
