US EPA Region 6 welcomes you to a Multi-University Food/Environment Presentation

Virtual event where we will get an overview of the impacts of modern agriculture on the environment, public health, and climate change, how agriculture is currently regulated, and what can be done to reduce that impact and help shape a sustainable climate-friendly and fair food system. Our speaker will be Peter Lehner, currently Managing Attorney of the Sustainable Food & Farming program at Earth justice and former Executive Director of NRDC and Chief of the New York Attorney General’s Environmental Protection Bureau. Peter teaches a seminar on food systems and US environmental law and is a frequent speaker as well as the co-author of Farming for Our Future; The Science, Law, and Policy of Climate-Neutral Agriculture.

When: Tuesday, April 25^th, Central Standard Time: 2:00PMCST – 4:00PMCST  *** Please note the time zone

Translational Medicine Day (TMD)

UCSD’s Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is excited to present the ninth annual Translational Medicine Day (TMD)! TMD is a conference-style event that is dedicated to educating and inspiring students about the field of translational medicine.

Translational medicine is the process by which cutting-edge research that happens here at UC San Diego and other research campuses is turned into therapies, drugs, and devices that directly impact patients on the clinical side of medicine. It is a multidisciplinary field that integrates biology, chemistry, engineering, and bioethics, as well as accounting for industry and government requirements alongside academia.

The event consists of 6 main components:

1. Keynote Speech: 10:00 am

2. Graduate Program Panel: 11:00 am

3. Networking Lunch: 12:00 pm

4. Industry Demos: 1:00 pm

5. Startups Panel: 2:00 pm

6. Ethics Panel: 3:00 pm

At their event, their Graduate Program panel addresses questions for students aspiring to grad/med school or even beyond, as well as how they can use their degree to improve medicine on the clinical side. Representatives from various medical companies, such as Medtronic will also be available at their Industry Demonstrations session and reps from companies such as Takeda will be present at their networking session, giving you the opportunity to interact with advanced medical experts and network with them (and maybe even score that elusive internship!)

In addition, their Speaker Sessions are seminar-style presentations that detail what’s being done on the forefront of translational medicine. Finally, their Ethics Panel this year focuses on the topic of Women’s Health!

TMD is happening this Friday, March 10, 2023, from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM in Price Center! Attached is a schedule that outlines our event, including the times for sections of the event you may be interested in. We highly encourage any and all to come, regardless of major or background! Admission is free, but to get a headcount of how many people are attending, we ask that you please RSVP using this Google Form: https://forms.gle/1M46RPJQMmVKPgou7.
