World Water Day
As part of President Amy Gutmann’s Climate Action Plan, the 2010-11 academic year has been
designated the Year of Water at the University of Pennsylvania. The Initiative for Global
Environmental Leadership (IGEL) at Wharton/Penn will lead salient discussions on how
businesses can evaluate how water use and the exchange of water value impact the economy,
human rights, and global environmental issues.
Conference-Workshop Objective: Provide an in-depth, informed and current overview on
challenges of managing water scarcity and costs, including a global perspective on best practices
of business strategy. Explore specific opportunities for innovation in this area related to the
development of new internal management tools, policy formation and new business
opportunities. Issue report based on collective discussions for future research, potential policy
impact and future potential business opportunities.

Injury and violence are substantial and largely preventable public health problems. Injuries kill more Americans under the age of 35 than all diseases combined. Injury Science Day provides a forum to showcase the latest research about the prevention, control, acute care, and rehabilitation of intentional and unintentional injury.
The day will include:
60-Second Science featuring leading injury prevention researchers from the
Philadelphia area. Moderated by Steve Fluharty, Vice Provost for Research, University of Pennsylvania.
Keynote Presentation by Linda C. Degutis, DrPH, MSN, Director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Before coming to the CDC in 2010, Dr. Degutis was Research Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Yale School of Medicine and Director of the Yale Center for Public Health Preparedness (YCPHP) at the Yale School of Public Health. Dr. Degutis’ research interests have centered on issues related to alcohol and injury, with a particular focus on interventions and policy issues. She has experience in both quantitative and qualitative research methods and analysis. Dr. Degutis has worked with national, state, and local coalitions on various other efforts that impact public health and public policy and has developed and taught programs on moving from research to advocacy.

The large group seminars expose the post-docs to an effective technical presentation organizational structure, show them how to develop and practice "hallway" mini presentations, and explain effective design strategies for communicating scientific information.
Through the presentation workshops (small groups) postdocs can experiment with and develop their speaking, presentation and interpersonal communication skills in a "communication laboratory". The workshops provide an invaluable and rare experience of presenting scientific work to other biomedical professionals in a supportive, educational environment. Attendees also gain by deepening and broadening their understanding of their colleague’s work.

One of the most the most lucrative and fastest-growing criminal activities in the world today is sex trafficking, which generates estimated global market revenue of about 42.5 billion dollars annually. Under recent estimates, a single captive female held for sexual exploitation in Western Europe and North America alone retails at a gross annual profit of about $68,000 (e.g. 2010 International Labor Office, Report and Statistics).
The hottest markets for young women and children held in brothels and in various pornographic venues (including film, tape, DVD, online, closed circuit, paid daily intimate camera feeds, etc.) are in developed countries particularly the EU and the US compared with other parts of the world. Efforts to alleviate sex trafficking in all its various platforms and formats are riven by cultural and social disputes, including significant religious differences and cultural norms. Some people argue that prostitution is always unlawful, discriminatory and abusive, and must be banned, whereas others want to decriminalize, legitimize and regulate it. Marketing unwilling sex workers across national and international borders is another aspect of the equation, making arrest or apprehension of traffickers more difficult and fraught than internal state trafficking.
Is there adequate discussion of the manifold roots of the problem nationally and internationally? Does education of women and girls help alleviate the mass of sex trafficking? Is prostitution ever voluntary? Should society criminalize so-called high end prostitution?
Our expert panel will address these complex questions.

Facing the Challenges of our Local Food Economy Through Sustainability, Sovereignty, and Responsible Practices
March 8, 2011
6:00 p.m.: Reception
6:30 p.m. - 8:30: Program
Hon. Blondell Reynolds Brown, Councilwoman At-Large, Philadelphia City Council,
Judy Wicks - Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE); Founder/retired, White Dog Cafe
Amanda High - Director, Strategic Initiatives, OIC International
On March 8, hundreds of communities are coming together to celebrate International Women's Day to address the role of women in global agriculture, food justice, and building stronger communities. Around the world, women face issues of food access and food justice. In some of the poorest regions, it is the women who are struggling to grow enough food to feed their families, and are dealing with challenges like competition for land and water, rising food prices, and impacts of climate change on agriculture.
In Philadelphia, it's mostly women who face issues like gaining access to healthy foods in so called "food deserts," and decreased income due to the recent economic downturn. We will discuss current challenges that we face in terms of achieving improved livelihoods for women both globally and locally, as well as best strategies and promising practices to empower women and make their voices heard.

"The Pharyngeal Airway and Obesity in Rodents: Insights from Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Spectroscopy and Elastography"
We are pleased to invite you to a special guest lecture with Dr. Ilina Singh, Reader in Bioethics and Society at the London School of Economics, on Wednesday March 16th, from 12 pm - 2 pm. Dr. Singh will present on "Empirical Neuroethics and Normative Questions: The Case of ADHD and Ritalin-type drugs". The talk will be held in the 5th Floor Conference Room, Goddard Laboratories, University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Singh's work explores the psycho-social and ethical implications of advances in bioscience and biomedicine for young people and families. Current projects focus on psychotropic drugs, neuroimaging, cognitive and other forms of enhancement, and biomarkers associated with the development of criminality, psychopathy and psychiatric disorder. Her research has several goals: to investigate the benefits and risks of biomedical technologies for children, young people and families; to enable evidence-based policymaking in child health and education; and to improve public, scientific and clinical understanding of children's experiences with behavioral and developmental difficulties and interventions.
