Conference room reservations for 2019 Fall

Faculty, Grad Students and Staff, if you know the dates and times you may need to reserve the 4^th floor conference room for Fall Semester  (this does not include scheduling classes) please send the information to Jacki as soon as you can.  The conference room books up quickly so early scheduling will help assure availability.  The Space Committee is asking that any requests for the teaching labs and conference room for lecture-based courses be accompanied by a written explanation of need for the specific space being requested and be submitted to Timberley Roane.  The requests will then be considered by the Space Committee.

Faculty, Staff and Grad Student pages updates

If you need to update the information shown on your Department webpage please send the information to Jacki so she can make sure your page is current.  Word documents work best if possible, pictures are always nice when, and where they can be used.

Denver Café Scientifique 1 at Blake St. Tavern!

Place, date, time: Blake Street Tavern on Thursday 25 July 2019 at 6:30 PM.
Our speaker: Michon Scott, Science Writer, National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder.
The Topic: "Climate and Humans: Shaping Each Other”

Like every other life form on Earth, humans have been shaped by climate. Adapting to rapid climate change over the past few million years may have even honed our big, smart brains. But over the past 10,000 years, Earth's climate has stayed remarkably stable. During that stable period, we've developed cities, farms, written language, monetary systems—all the things we think of as civilization. We all have a stake in climate stability.  Please see the attached flyer for more information.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME. The talk starts at 6:30. Come before 6 PM to leave yourself time to get something to eat. We end around 8 PM. 

Blake St. Tavern is at 2301 Blake St., close to Coors Field. Parking in a lot adjacent, or at meters on the street.

We welcome your input, including ideas for speakers and topics. Bring them with you to the next Café, or e-mail them and any questions to Eric Meer

The Emergency Medicine department at Anschutz Medical Campus is currently looking for about 10 additional undergraduates from UCD to participate in a semester long internship experience for Fall 2019.  

The main objective of the Emergency Medicine Research Assistant Program for Students (EM-RAPS) at the University of Colorado Department of Emergency Medicine is to provide undergraduate students with ‘hands-on’ experience and a didactic curriculum for acute care-clinical research in the emergency department (ED) setting. Toward that end, our program has three aims for each enrolled student:

(1)     To understand basic clinical research methods, including study design and ethical implications of clinical research in acutely ill patients

(2)     To learn the basics of clinical research screening, enrollment, data collection, and sample processing

(3)     To gain exposure to the ED clinical environment and develop an understanding of the patient populations seen in the ED.

EM-RAPS is open to students desiring careers in health fields such as medicine, laboratory sciences, radiologic technology, clinical research, biotechnology, and public health.  Prior experience in research or medical settings NOT required.  Please see the attached pdf. for more information including requirements, and who to contact.
