; it’s a part of our special holidays and our daily meals, but is the product worth the cost? On Thursday, October 9, 2014, at 7 p.m. this year’s Ruth Anderson Public Debate asks, is it right to eat animals? You’re invited to dig into this issue. To answer this question, PLU will feature four debaters offering their perspective on the ethical, environmental, and health concerns surrounding meat, Dr. Karen S. Emmerman, who is in favor of the proposition (not eating meat), and Dr. Michael Schleeter

July 7, 2008 Next of kin: the ethics of eating, capturing, and experimenting on great apes One of the pressing problems of our times is the future of the great apes. All of the great apes – chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans – are endangered. Their habitat is quickly shrinking, but more urgent, their numbers are fast approaching an unsustainable low. Currently, the main threat is the bush-meat trade (which also involves the logging of African forests). It is now thought that the

. Students will also receive classroom training in topics pertinent to the emerging field of computational biology, such as computational structural biology, cell and systems modeling, computational genomics, and bioimage informatics.  Additionally, TECBio students will participate in a weekly journal club, attend research and career seminars organized specifically for the program, take part in an ethics forum that will instruct them in the responsible conduct of research, present their work at a

microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods to study materials and molecules at interfaces. All students will also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. Through independent research projects and the workshop and seminar series, this site seeks to broaden the participation in STEM. Preference will be given to applications received by March 1st.
