SUMMARY:SM-100 Seminar: Career Path Navigation - Perspective of a Career "Fed" in the Biological Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Shannon James graduated from MUW thirty years ago in 1995 with a Cum Laude B.S. in Biology\, completed an M.S. in Entomology from University of Tennessee Knoxville\, and has built a career in applied regulatory biology spanning more than twenty years. \nThe majority of her career has been with the United States Department of Agriculture\, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service\, Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA\, APHIS\, PPQ). Wherein she has held positions as Laboratory Technician\, Lead Scientist\, Plant Health Safeguarding Specialist\, Pest Survey Specialist for the states of Oregon and Tennessee\, and National Operations Manager for Domestic Programs. \nShannon’s early research is cited in standard operating procedures at Oak Ridge National Laboratories\, has enabled the nursery industry to sell and move billions of dollars’ worth of plants\, and provided new tools in the fight against vectors of human pathogens. Her contributions in later positions and collateral duties improved national program delivery and have been adopted as guidance in reviewing competitive funding requests. \nJoin in on her SM 101 presentation September 24 to hear how Shannon overcame challenges and collected keys to success in her post-graduate activities.

SUMMARY:SM-100 Seminar: How Do I Study the Brain? Let Me Count the Ways: Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Fields
DESCRIPTION:Come listen to Dr. Ethan Flurry for the second SM-100 seminar of the semester this Wednesday\, September 10th at 12 noon Parkinson Hall Room 117. \nDr. Ethan Flurry is an assistant professor in the MUW Psychology & Family Sciences department\, where he teaches courses aimed at exploring the brain and the mind\, such as Physiological Psychology\, Sensation and Perception\, and Applied Cognitive Aging. Dr. Flurry earned his Ph.D. in Applied Cognitive Science at Mississippi State where his research focused on aging and memory. He also worked as a graduate assistant on an NSF grant at MSU using fMRI brain imaging techniques to look for neural correlates of cognitive processes\, and as research coordinator on an NIH grant at Georgia Tech aimed at improving older adults’ memory in everyday situations. His research lab opened last semester in the EDHS building at MUW and is currently called the Brain Café Lab due to an ongoing study involving free snacks\, tea\, and coffee. His lab is always looking for participants to be involved in ongoing research projects on cognitive processes such as attention\, multi-tasking\, and memory\, and will have more information about how to get involved in this presentation.
