During this session postdocs will be able to hear all about the process of pursuing and maintaining a career in academia from multiple points of view including: recently hired professors, an individual who has recently received tenure, those involved in the hiring/selection/tenure process, and more. They will be touching on organizing for an academic job search, the tenure track, different types of academic institutions, and what it really means to enter this field.

"The different pathways leading to central and peripheral B-cell tolerance in humans"

 

Austrian Auditorium, CRB

 

The movement to try and close the ever-widening gap between demand and supply of organs by creative strategies has recently arrived at the prison gate in the USA and other nations. While there is some enthusiasm for using prisoners as sources of organs, there are both practical barriers and moral concerns which make it likely that the use of prisoners will not and ought not contribute in any way to relieving the problem of organ shortage through cadaveric donation. Indeed it is time for the medical community to speak up in protest of the continuing practice of execution to get organs in China and some other nations.
Sponsored by the College’s Section on Medicine, Ethics, and the Law.

This program is free and open to the public. RSVP by March 9, 2012 To register online by clicking the link above
