by Leidy Lab 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hello, We are still recruiting for the yogurt study. Below is more information if you are interested. Are there benefits to eating yogurt for breakfast? You can help answer this question by taking part in our study! You will be provided different types of yogurts to consume at home for breakfast. For each type of yogurt, you will complete a 4-h testing day that measures your feelings of appetite (hunger & fullness) and cognitive performance. If you qualify, you will be paid for completing all study procedures. For more information contact: leidylab(a)purdue.edu<mailto:leidylab@purdue.edu> and mention: The Yogurt Study.

Areas of interest include: nutrition, medical care, epigenomics, public policy, advocacy, epidemiology, public health, statistics and bioinformatics, communication & media, social sciences, biomedical research, and other cancer prevention topics CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT <http://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/35450639/808048041/76993546/0/70611/?x=5ffa0d…>Abstracts are to be submitted by August 20, 2018 [http://mailimages.purdue.edu/ibcn_newsletter/FINAL-----More-Info-about-symp…]<http://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/35450639/808048041/73755890/1/70611/?x=499825…> The goal of this symposium is to bring together global public health actors, advocates, clinicians and researchers on breast cancer prevention to discuss how engineering research and technology can be developed and applied to better understand when cancer risk reaches a threshold at which the disease emerges. The symposium will take us on a journey across disciplines-at the interface of biology, medicine, nutrition, engineering, computational science and statistics, ethics and policies. Primary prevention of cancer requires understanding how the environment influences the epigenome. New technologies are becoming readily available to gather vast amounts of data, and emerging models such as organs-on-a-chip will enable individualized cancer prevention. By using population data and "omics" data from a diverse group, data science can harness information to develop appropriate prevention interventions worldwide.

Kitchenette Refrigerator
by Howe, Deidra M 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi All, It appears that someone has placed unwrapped raw meat in the kitchenette refrigerator, which is a health code issue because of cross contamination. Please correct immediately, or the meat will be thrown out by tomorrow morning. If raw meat is found in the refrigerator in the future, it will be discarded at that time. Thank you!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Password change email being sent out
by Howe, Deidra M 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

All, ITaP will be sending an email tomorrow, August 15th, to all faculty and staff telling them to change their password. The email is legitimate. Similar email will go out to students on August 22nd. This is likely to cause some disruption, especially at this time of year, but the need for this to be done is critical, and unavoidable. There will be more in the email, but this is primarily to address some of the campus security work over the summer.

Important Parking Info
by Howe, Deidra M 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi All, I came across some parking information that I thought all should know. Please see highlighted note below, it starts tomorrow: News / PF Connection August 14, 2018 | For the campus and community Four new gravel lots open for parking this afternoon Motorists will have additional parking options available beginning around noon today. Two gravel lots are reserved for those with active A, B or C parking permits, and two lots are for those with residence hall parking permits. These parking lots are located in the area around Fifth and Waldron Streets. As a reminder, 2017-18 parking permits expire Aug. 15, and purchase and activation of new parking permits is required to continue parking in these areas after that date. License plates must face the drive lane, and in most cases, backing into a parking space may result in receiving a citation. https://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/news/2018/081418-parking-lots-ope… Thanks!

ENGT-56100
by Turner, Jaime J 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Professor Helen McNally is offering ENGT-56100, Metrology Concepts this Fall semester. The Science of Measurements is an essential aspect to any science, engineering or technology research. This course introduces the concepts of metrology to include measurement systems (sensors and signal conditioning), data acquisition and analysis, and error propagation. Systems and environmental noise are investigated along with methods to mitigate influences of noise. Standards and calibration of instrumentation are also studied. Instrumentation for electrical and mechanical measurements are studied along with their corresponding measurement standards. These concepts of metrology are described from the macro to nano scale. For more information, please contact Dr. McNally at mcnallyh(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mcnallyh@purdue.edu> Helen A. McNally, PhD Associate Professor School of Engineering Technology, Purdue University Phone: (765) 494-7491 Email mcnallyh(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mcnallyh@purdue.edu> https://nanohub.org/groups/bnc/people/details?id=153
