New knowledge about neuroscience, genes, disease, and social impacts of research will be discussed. Students and teachers will learn about what it means to be a scientist; posing questions, designing experiments, implementing studies, analyzing data, and generating new understandings about nature. Three experts in brain research will give talks and demonstrations. The target audience is high school teachers, high school students, parents, caregivers, and anyone else from the community interested in brain science, mental health, learning, and cognition. ISBE CPDU credit will be available for teachers. When talks and informal discussions are done, we will split into small groups and tour two neuroscience labs on campus. Registration for this event is required. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28619014 conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28619014 Sat, 18 May 2013 11:00:00 CDT http://faculty.las.illinois.edu/mt217/Midwest_Greek_Linguistics_3.html http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28607015 Community http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28607015 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:00:00 CDT For another year, the U of I is bringing "Science at the Market" on selected Saturday mornings to the Farmers Market at Lincoln Square mall in Urbana.

If you don't have ready answers or definitions for these terms, you're not alone. This workshop will consider various definitions of global citizenship in the context of the U.S. and a globalizing world. Being a global citizen is not only about understanding other cultures but also understanding your own culture through the eyes of others. We'll use a reflexive process, along with examples of international content, pedagogical discussions with peer educators, and hands-on activities for project-based learning. - Credit: Participants will receive professional development credits. - Housing: Lodging will be provided for out-of-town participants. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28179004 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/3135/28179004 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:30:00 CDT The Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG) center is excited to offer our third summer school, to be held June 17-21, 2013 at the Q Center in St. Charles, Illinois! We invite and encourage utility and industry practitioners, researchers, and students to attend and explore the nexus between electrical energy systems and cybersecurity. Our program is designed to provide an essential background in the basics of security and resiliency for cyber infrastructure in power and smart grids. Participants will also gain an understanding of the smarter energy system evolving from the power grid, as well as associated cybersecurity challenges. We've planned an intensive, engaging, and value-packed week of topics and activities, including an optional hands-on training lab for SCADA security assessment. Scholarship opportunities are available for academic students with a demonstrated interest in power or smart grid cybersecurity. We also offer several sponsorship opportunities for industry, vendor, and utilities that want to increase their brand awareness within the smart grid community. Registration and on-site lodging are limited, so consider securing both as soon as possible to guarantee participation.

Hosted by the Institute for Genomic Biology on the University of Illinois campus, the camp will provide an opportunity for girls to study plant responses to climate change in the distant past and the coming century. Research groups of 8 to 10 campers led by a female graduate student will use million dollar microscopes to image pollen, giving the campers first-hand experience in a research environment with female mentors. The camp is designed for middle school age girls with an interest in plants and the environment.
