SHARE YOUR SUMMER EXPERIENCE

If you have just returned from a summer “biology” experience, we would like to hear from you! Send me a description (no more than one page) of what you did; please include your name and major. Also send us two or three photos of your experience, or a web site we could use. We will post these descriptions/photos in the first and second floor display cases in Haworth. This is a great way to help other students find a “biology” summer experience for the future. Please send your materials to me by Thursday, September 10 … thanks! – Jan (jelder@ku.edu)

VETERINARY SCIENCE – SOMETHING TO CONSIDER!

SARS - AIDS - Ebola - Avian Influenza - Anthrax - Botulism - Plague - West Nile Virus - Mad Cow Disease - Smallpox. Over 60% of all infectious diseases of animals can also affect humans, and incidences of new, emerging zoonotic infectious diseases are on the rise. Veterinarian-scientists, by virtue of their broad experience in multiple species and extensive training in both molecular and whole animal contexts, are uniquely qualified to address the complex problems presented in modern biomedical research. For over 40 years, the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine has provided an outstanding environment for the training of future veterinarian-scientists through its VMD/PhD Program. Find out more about how you can impact tomorrow 's medicine for all species at www.PennVetPhD.org
