From bioladv at uw.edu Wed Nov 1 10:03:43 2023 From: bioladv at uw.edu (BIOLOGY) Date: Thu Mar 7 19:15:41 2024 Subject: [Biostudent] FW: [Envirolink] New Winter 2024 Course: NUTR 490B, 3CR, Sustainable Animal Agriculture: Complexities and Tradeoffs In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: [cid:image003.png@01DA0C0C.EB10AB50] NUTR 490B: Sustainable Animal Agriculture: Complexities and Tradeoffs Credits: 3 Meets: W 2:30 p.m. - 5:20 p.m This course introduces students to complexities and tradeoffs that influence the sustainability of meat production and consumption in the United States, with an emphasis on environmental impacts and animal welfare. Topics include: * Types and scales of production for beef, pork, and poultry in the U.S. context. * Tradeoffs and synergies between environmental, social, and economic sustainability considerations. * How do producers balance environmental and animal welfare goals day-to-day? Which are broadly shared, and where do different types of farms diverge? * What economic and operational constraints do farmers and ranchers face in trying to meet these goals? * How do the sustainability-related opinions, preferences, and purchases of the general public influence the decisions of livestock producers? This team-taught course draws upon interdisciplinary knowledge from agriculture, public health, systems science, and the social sciences. Students will not only learn but, at the same time, contribute to innovative research in this area by participating in data collection activities related to group deliberation and individual reflection. Students from all majors are welcome. -- If students have any questions, please have them contact me at ugnutr@uw.edu Thank you, Lisa Lisa Nordlund Pronouns: She, Her, Hers Senior Adviser Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health Major (FSNH) Nutritional Sciences Program University of Washington 305-B Raitt Hall | 206-543-8333 Connect with us via Facebook, Instagram, or Linked In -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Topics covered include: 1) air pollution sources, chemistry and meteorology; 2) effects on human health and the environment; 3) climate change; 4) air quality standards, monitoring and management; 5) air pollution control technology; 6) indoor air; 7) special topics, including wildfire smoke, environmental justice and alternative fuels. Instruction is at the level of upper-year undergraduates and graduate students in health-related or related technical fields; there are higher expectations and more requirements of graduate students including an introduction to using the R programming language for summarizing air quality data. While a relatively comprehensive survey of air pollution topics is provided, there is a clear public health orientation. Learning objectives At the end of this course the student should be able to: * Classify and identify major sources of outdoor air pollution. * Outline the features of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). * Describe how meteorology affects air pollution using qualitative and quantitative approaches. * Describe the atmospheric chemistry involved in the formation of secondary air pollutants. * Identify primary health effects associated with criteria air pollutants. * Compare identified health effects of the different air pollutants. * Contrast the scientific methods and study designs used to learn about the health effects of air pollution. * Differentiate the welfare effects of air pollution from human health effects. * Propose effective strategies for controlling air pollution emissions and for reducing community exposures. * Distinguish criteria air pollutants from hazardous air pollutants and compare their respective air quality management approaches. * Describe how air quality contributes to environmental injustice and social inequality. * Identify the pollutants, including greenhouse gases, that affect climate and describe how they contribute to climate change. * Describe the major activities of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA). * Describe community-based air monitoring and contrast this approach to regulatory monitoring. * Explain sources of indoor air pollution and describe the health effects of each. * GRADUATE STUDENTS: Evaluate and synthesize quantitative impacts of air pollution. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a great class for your majors who harbor a secret?or not so secret!?love of reading and writing, or those who are just curious about how poets and novelists create their work. In past years, I?ve had students from nearly every major and ranging from freshman to senior. I?ve enjoyed working with all of them! This winter, the class will meet in person, although some of our visiting writers will join us over Zoom. This large class will be broken into smaller pods to provide a sense of community, to share and receive feedback on their own experiments in writing poetry, fiction, and memoir, and to discuss issues raised by the assigned readings. On their own time, students will watch recordings of a wide variety of writers lecturing or reading from their work, read widely, and participate in online discussion forums.

(aim for approximately 50 words) * If you are currently in a research lab, which one are you in? Do you plan to continue research with this lab over the summer, and have you discussed this with your PI? * If you are not in a research lab, or if you do not plan to continue in your current lab over the summer, rank your level of interest in various research areas, so that the committee can inquire with Chemistry faculty about open positions in their labs on your behalf. (We will provide a list of areas including Analytical Chemistry, Biophysics, Catalysis, Chemical Biology, Clean Energy, Inorganic Chemistry, Materials, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Theory and Computation. For each area, you may choose "Strong interest, Medium interest, Low interest, or No interest.") * Provide a personal statement: What research focus interests you the most?

What are your prior experiences and skills that may help you succeed in research? How will this award impact your professional development? Feel free to address the questions that are most relevant to you. Successful essays include specifics/evidence of the qualities you seek to emphasize. For example, "I am industrious" is too vague, but "I have done x, y, and z and this proves that I am industrious" carries a lot more weight (aim for approximately 250-350 words). Writing resources are available at the UW. Page 4 (for all applicants): * Upload one pdf file, named "LastName_FirstName_CV.pdf", containing: * Your CV that includes a listing of all your education, training, and work experience * Do not include sensitive information such as your social security number/ITIN. * You are encouraged to include any honors and awards you might have received, scholarly presentations or publications, leadership, service, outreach or other extracurricular activities, as well as honors courses you have taken in addition to any other activities or information that could distinguish your application. * Examples of CVs are provided by the Career and Internship Center. * Your most current unofficial transcript. * An optional field to share anything else with the selection committee that you feel is important.

Someone in their 20s has a four-fold greater risk of dying than someone in the other rich nations. Consider: Who has a better chance of surviving to age 60, a 15-year old girl in the United States or a 15-year old girl in Sri Lanka? If you chose the girl in the US, you need to take HSERV 482 / Global Health 482, this Winter Quarter, to find out why Americans are not living longer despite our advanced medical resources. Population Health HSERV 482/G H 482 explores what makes a country more or less healthy in comparison to others. Why is our health getting worse? Why is mortality increasing in the U.S. with our life expectancy today what it was in 1996. We are one of a few nations, and the only rich one, seeing an increase of deaths of women in childbirth. African-Americans have higher childbirth death rates now than the country had in 1953 which were then the best in the world. Decades of progress has been erased. Why, why, why? We spend almost half of all the world?s health care dollars, 4.2 trillion in 2021 - a sixth of our total economy. What is going on? HSERV 482/G H 482, The Health of Populations, looks at countries to understand how people there achieve their health status. Past students in evaluations include: "This class demolished everything I thought about health, healthcare and human behavior!" ?This course ruined my life - in the best way possible? "This class was the most thought-provoking course that I've taken at the UW. ?This class was super intellectually stimulating!!? ?By far, this has been the most memorable class I have taken at UW. Top to bottom, everything was structured exceptionally and the material presented allowed for great contemplation and reflection.? Learning occurs in an open classroom, Health Sciences Education Building 345. There are section meetings facilitated by outstanding TAs complemented by readings and explorations of health outcomes. Students seed the concepts learned into online meetings they create. There are no prerequisites except an open mind. There is a take-home exam.

U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required for this program. Deadline to apply is Jan. 12 for the 2024-25 fellowship year. Get program information, recorded webinars, tips to apply and the application guide at https://hungercenter.org/what-we-do/emerson-fellowship/fellows/. The Emerson Fellowship develops effective leaders in the movement to end hunger and poverty in the U.S. During their year in the program fellows develop their leadership skills and gain hands-on experience through placements with host organizations at the local, state, regional, and national levels. * Field Placements: For the first six months Emerson Fellows are placed with organizations across the U.S. with a local or regional focus, including food banks, anti-hunger/ anti-poverty advocacy groups, food policy councils, research institutions, and state, local, and regional government agencies. * Policy Placements: For the second half of the fellowship, Emerson Fellows shift their focus to national anti-hunger and anti-poverty policy through placements with national advocacy groups, think tanks, and federal government agencies. UW alum, Taylor Unoki ('22-'23 fellow), was placed with Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio, where she created a Landscape Assessment that gathered data on demographics and social determinants of food insecurity such as healthcare, food deserts, and housing to identify gaps where Second Harvest could focus its resources. Taylor's policy placement was at the Food Research & Action Center in Washington, D.C. where she gathered state level data and information to identify barriers and recommendations for WIC individuals on a state basis. Read more about Taylor's fellowship experience. Benefits and Financial Support during and after the fellowship: * The Hunger Center establishes its financial packages for fellows based on their location, taking into consideration the cost of living at both the field and policy placements. Fellows typically receive financial packages of no less than $48,000 over the duration of the fellowship. * Graduate School Partnerships: Emerson alums pursuing masters' degrees in public health or public policy at select institutions are eligible for significant discounts on tuition. * Other Benefits: membership in a dynamic learning community of fellows; connection to an extensive network of alums, partners, and experts; experience working with community and policy leaders; training, mentoring, and leadership development; and Project management experience.
