New Course Option for this fall!

Please register if you wish for the following course (I don't believe you need any stamps):

Course Number: MIEH321
Section Number: SG91
Time: Wednesdays 3-5:50

Syphilis to SARS will examine the influences of environmental factors economic development, migration, and land use changes on emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases. Population growth, development, climate change are impacting natural reservoirs of infectious diseases and how they transmit through human populations. The course will look at both historical accounts and newly emerging and reemerging diseases including influenza as examples of our role in altering the diseases that threaten us. We will also critically evaluate how the issues are portrayed in news and entertainment media and controversy about the ethics of research on deadly viruses.

With the current Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the immigration of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children,  and the recent discovery of forgotten smallpox samples in a laboratory freezer in Bethesda, this is an extremely relevant course.  Rich with material lifted right from the headlines, this is will be a timely and thought-provoking course.

It is being taught on Wednesdays from 3 – 5:50 p.m. 

Domestic Violence-Related Job Opportunity!

Please see below.  Court Watch is a well-respected non-profit that helps to improve the court process for domestic violence cases.  This would be a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested.  Please let me know if you apply.

_______________________________________________________________

Do you know of any students that might be interested in hourly work starting immediately? I can pay $12hr. I need about 3-7 hrs. a week, and someone willing to stay with it for at least 3 months. 

Most of it is administrative but some is internet and phone/email research on what type of domestic violence coordinating committees other counties have and if their mtgs. are open to the public. Most can be done from anywhere once the person is trained, so occasional mtgs. in Rockville or Silver Spring at a coffee shop.  Some is boxing and labeling files at my home in Silver Spring but that shouldn't take many hours. It might mean a trip or 2 to Staples to get things copied for a strategy session on Sept. 4th. They can email me or call my cell.

Thanks a lot,

Laurie
