Sneak Preview of "My Love Affair with the Brain" *MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE BRAIN: THE LIFE AND SCIENCE OF DR. MARIAN DIAMOND.* *February 27, 2015 at 1:00pm, at BAMPFA.* Please come to this free special sneak preview screening and program in celebration of Dr. Diamond and her pioneering contributions to modern neuroscience. Presented by BAMPFA, the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, Lawrence Hall of Science, Department of Psychology, Division of Biological Sciences, Integrative Biology, Molecular and Cell Biology, Center for Research and Education on Aging, Cal Alum and Luna Productions. My Love Affair with the Brain is a soon-to-be-on PBS documentary about the brain, the passion of scientific discovery, the creation of modern neuroscience, Albert Einstein, women in science, and love - all via the life and research of beloved professor and YouTube celebrity, Dr. Marian Diamond. Marian Diamond's research demonstrated the impact of enrichment - a powerful new understanding of the brain that has literally changed the world, from how we think about ourselves to how we raise our children. Dr. Diamond demonstrated anatomically, for the first time, what we now call plasticity and in so doing, shattered the old paradigm of understanding the brain as static and unchangeable. Directed and Produced by Catherine Ryan and Gary Weimberg of Luna Productions. Join us for a special pre-release screening at the new BAMPFA! Seating is limited. Please arrive early to guarantee seating.

This course will cover variable topics of special interest in the field of Clinical Neurology. Undergraduates will have an opportunity to correlate experience with actual patients with the science behind the diagnosis. During their time in the clinics, students will act as a "patient assistant," helping patients who may have partial paralysis or loss of sensation. They will learn the basics of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and will record patients' history and neurological findings while observing real-life patient examinations. Each student will be assigned a Clinical Neurology faculty mentor who will help develop the writing and poster projects. Publication of student work will be encouraged, co-authored by the faculty mentor.

SRF Summer Scholars Program *The SRF Summer Scholars Program* offers undergraduate students the opportunity to conduct biomedical research to combat diseases of aging, such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Under the guidance of a scientific mentor, each Summer Scholar is responsible for his or her own research project in such exciting areas as genetic engineering and stem cell research. The Summer Scholars Program emphasizes development of both laboratory and communication skills to develop well-rounded scientists who can work equally well with other scientists or the general public. Students participating in the program will hone their writing skills via periodic reports, which are designed to emulate text scientists commonly must produce. Additionally, a poster presentation at a SRF-sponsored conference at the end of the summer will provide students with an opportunity to put all of their newly developed communication skills into practice when they present their results to scientists from other research institutions. Paid positions are available at such world-renowned research institutions as: - Buck Institute for Research on Aging - Harvard School of Medicine - Sanford-Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute - Scripps Research Institute - SRF Research Center - Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine The online application and full descriptions of each research project can be found at www.sens.org/2016-summer-scholars <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001O12D_rWuR388WcIh4qOZfCaC4jC60yEYhNjMGboD7rDatkRejUZvLTJa2WyM6lIiUxV57XEuMXVb-qYIpLhX_8Dbzs19-KJpsCMC_t-AtnZU4csgN0UlBA4IuQBcDEOZ8RBflVlvNkoLMsPTI2PnQ7S-fa_ckKQEPlrc_vu3Dgt0om142dkPTBVXqrWKLwgC&c=XMiWy5en6CkyAE7VrFRopDRzZLNeJwQ1Hw1STalsAJnDw9ZfyCzh7Q==&ch=7B51-7YdkLnF3ayKOdU0gdA1bX50mmdmZJkAO-NGmEjz2EQARd5F2g==>.

The MSBI program is aimed at students who wish to master biomedical imaging and research methods to enhance their research designs and broaden their investigative projects. The program can be completed in one year of full-time study or in two years on a part-time schedule. Course work includes instruction in core theory, drawn from imaging physics, engineering and mathematics and linked to physiology and disease processes, providing a foundation in interdisciplinary scholarship. In addition to introducing the fundamentals underlying image formation, hands-on laboratory courses with experiments relevant for characterizing pathologies, monitoring response to therapy and assessing the underlying mechanisms and etiologies, will be offered. Electives allow students to customize the program to their interests, including the option to perform independent research studies.
