NEWEST: Ithaca Mayor to Speak at Campus; RSVPs are needed; Bio Club Meetings, Seminar Series, Tutors Needed for Fall '13, and others

Posted by Nancy Pierce at 1:04PM   |  Add a comment

The mayor will speak on Tuesday, April 30, at 7 pm in Textor 101. 

He will speak about student activism, the Ithaca community, and the environment. He is well known for having been elected mayor at age 24, and as the mayor who turned his parking space into a mini-park because he bikes to work. But he has done some really wonderful work so far for Ithaca and has a lot of great ideas to help better our community and to share with us.

The Environmental department, with the help of the Biology department, is sponsoring Kara Timmins, herbalist and the owner and founder of Apothekara, is giving a tea talk at IC! In her talk, Kara will give a generalization of her philosophy on herbs. She will explain the herbs that she recommends for stress and the nervous system, and she will discuss why each of the herbs that she recommends affects the nervous and adrenal glands. Kara will also explain the definitions and differences of:  infusions, decoctions, tinctures, and oils.
 
And there will be tasty tea to brew! Kara will bring herbs to drink as samples, as well as brochures and information about her local apothecary. We will use Apothekara's very own organic, bio-dynamic, and (mostly) locally grown herbs. We will be making an infusion and a decoction. (And it is all free for attendees!)
 
Talk: Herbal Therapeutics 101
Location: Business School Room 301
Date: Thursday, April 18th, 2013
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm

Please R.S.V.P. a confirmation e-mail to me, Jessica Wilhelm, at jwilhel1@ithaca.edu. Because of a room capacity issue, only the first 25 students who RSVP to this e-mail can come to this event. (Sorry for this! I wish we could let everyone come who is interested, but we have to follow the IC rules!)

Biology and Biochemistry students,

The department is actively seeking students for LABORATORY TEACHING ASSISTANT positions in the Principles of Biology Lab (Biol 121).
Requirements:

  • Sophomore or higher class standing
  • Successful completion of Bio 121 with a grade of B+ or higher.

We strongly encourage students with an interest in graduate school and/or teaching to apply for this position. (Teaching in graduate school is typically required and this will look good on your resume).


Please send an e-mail to: dgondek@ithaca.edu, indicating your interest in the job.
1 - If you have been a teaching assistant in biology before, please list the semesters/year.
2 - Please indicate which day(s) Monday-Thursday 1-4pm, for which you plan to be available. (keep in mind we run double sections on Wed/Thurs so we will need more students in those slots)
