A very brief history: A recent bout with lung cancer accompanied by a diagnosis of COPD. Ahhh the joys of smoking a pack a day for nearly forty years. Research into the physical effects of COPD led to the thought that I'd like to have known this stuff before I started using tobacco. That in turned sparked some ideas about enlarged props and group participation instruments as a fun way to educate and encourage curiosity about the health sciences. Any thoughts?
The Eshelman Institute and UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2018 Young Innovators Program!
What is the Young Innovators Program?
The Young Innovators Program is an eight-week paid summer internship for high school students offered by the Eshelman Institute for Innovation and the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Interns work side-by-side with faculty on cutting-edge and innovative research in an immersive laboratory environment. Interns may work on developing new therapies to cure cancer, designing a virtual patient to enhance the education of health professionals, using 3D printing technology to deliver drugs that prevent the transmission of HIV, and so much more.
Why the Young Innovators Program?
Beyond getting paid to gain hands-on laboratory and research experience, interns participate in various team building, career development and interdisciplinary activities. Interns will tour innovative spaces like Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies and BeAM Makerspaces, participate in roundtable discussions with STEM professionals and explore the many academic and research opportunities available at UNC Chapel Hill.
My name is David Emery. I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Southern California and a soon-to-be teacher myself (middle school). As part of the doctoral work for my dissertation, I am conducting a study to explore work trends (specifically the non-instructional workload) among teachers and former teachers. You are invited to participate in the study. If you agree to participate, you will complete a survey that should take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey as a thanks, you have the opportunity to be entered into a raffle for one of a dozen $25 gift cards (Starbucks or Amazon.com, your choice).
Participation in the study is voluntary. Your name and any other potentially identifiable information will not be linked to your response. Your relationship with you institution will not be affected by your participation in this study. The focus is on your experiences with work tasks and not on your work-site specifically.
