While at the CDC, he forced drug companies to warn that aspirin might cause the sometimes-deadly Reye Syndrome, reacted quickly to alert women to the dangers of toxic shock syndrome and saw the first cases of a frightening new disease in the early 1980s: AIDS. Over his career, he has been, quite simply, recognized as one of the most important figures in public

was the amount of forms created. There were only two bronze busts, but to date there have been 39 plastic castings. Do students learn about this process in your classes? Ebbinga: It is a process I have taught, although with less toxic and more affordable materials. Mold making provides fantastic lessons in creative problem solving as each mold offers different challenges and requires its own solutions. The principles of how a mold is constructed remain fairly constant depending on the material to

infamous Friday lab sessions! Does the process differ in the spring and fall semesters? Seasonal changes in the watershed have a big impact on what students do in the fall class versus the spring class. In the fall, many locations in Clover Creek are completely dry, and this past fall one of our typical sampling locations had a toxic algae advisory. In some spring semesters, sampling locations may have too much water, making it unsafe for students to enter the stream. So our sampling plan is always

so toxic, we cage them for the very thing we love about them: their intelligence,” Bergman says. “I’m especially interested now in the connections between the ‘legal trade’ and the illegal trade, which these 17 (released) parrots illustrate—they were laundered birds.” Bergman and Granum initially met on a J-term trip to Antarctica. Bergman quickly became Granum’s mentor and friend, as they both shared a love of the outdoors, photography and animals. Since then, Granum has changed his major to

, our interview schedule was full once again. Starting off, we met with the USACE in New Orleans to discuss how low water levels had been impacting the city’s fresh water supply. Incidentally, as their colleagues upstream dealt with low water problems, downstream the shrinking fresh water was causing stress as well. With receding freshwater, saltwater from the Gulf was creeping up the river channel, getting dangerously close to the pipes that draw drinking water for the city and surrounding areas

started working with Crown S Ranch, which raises cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry without toxic drugs or chemicals on organic pastures in Winthrop, Wash. “I’ve been out to the farm and they have the chickens running around between the sheep, eating what chickens like to eat, and living a life chickens should live,” Swenson said. Swenson said knowing where the food comes from makes him feel a lot better about serving it. Dining uses the farm’s whole chicken and recently switched completely over to its
