animals on the planet. With over ten reptiles to observe, the class will tie together similar reptiles traits while we listen to one another's observations in an end of the class presentation. Elizabeth Johnson The workshop is taught by Liz Johnson, a herpetoculturalist that received her degree in Zoology from OSU. With a masters in Science and Math Education, she currently teaches JH science. All animals in the course are her pets and have had experience working with the public. Computer Software <strong>Workshop</strong> Come and see the future of television, where computers, tablets, cell phones and the Internet collide to shape tomorrow's viewing experiences. This design thinking workshop will take a hands‐on approach to the interface creation process. We will brainstorm and generate cutting edge user interface prototypes based on your ideas and finish with a design gallery. No programming necessary, but plenty of imagination is encouraged! Dedrie Beadsley Ms. Beardsley has a diverse analytical chemistry background and has worked in research and development for both Intel and Johnson and Johnson. She has a masters degree in Human Computer Interaction and currently works as a data services strategic planner at Intel. Her research interests span developer motivation and characterization, the social experience and sports in interactive television as well as open source software dynamics. Make Your Own Biodiesel How many kinds of alternative energy sources do you know of? How many have you made yourself? Come learn about where our energy comes from, how it gets used, and how scientists and engineers are inventing the next generation of alternative energy technologies! After a quick discussion about the many different types of sustainable energy, we'll put on safety goggles and head into the OSU chemistry lab to make some biodiesel ourselves. This is a great opportunity to see how alternative fuels are made, and to experience what it's like to do experiments in a university chemistry lab. Larkin Loewenherz Larkin Loewenherz is an honors student in marine biology at Oregon State University and is the vice president of the Sustainable Energy Initiative. Sustainable energy research and development is an interest of hers, as well as community outreach and energy education. Larkin is an advocate for encouraging the involvement of people of diverse backgrounds in the energy sector. Exploring the Ocean Floor The Oregon State University, College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Geology Core Repository welcomes you. Maziet Cheseby will guide you through a tour of the facilities. One of our CEOAS graduate students, will give a short talk about graduate studies in general and their specific graduate work. The presentation will include showing how cores are taken off of the large UNOLS ships and how they are processed. Students will learn how to determine and mark geological points on a map using latitude and longitude. They will also take representative “cores”, wash them, and study the composition of the sediment under the microscope.
Mysti Weber Maziet Chesby Ms. Weber received her BS degree from OSU in Wildlife Biology. She has worked at OSU’s College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences for 20 years and in the Core Lab for 6 years. Ms. Weber specializes in paleomicroscopy of radiolaria and microfossil microscopy of core smear slides. Ms.Cheseby received her Bachelors degree in Physical Geography from University of Colorado, Boulder. She has worked in the field of Marine Geology for 18 years. Ms. Cheseby has been employed at OSU's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences for over 15 years and in the Marine Geology Repository for 4 years. Ms. Cheseby specializes in paleomicroscopy of planktonic foraminifera. Ms. Cheseby also occasionally works as a coring technician, specializing in multicore sampling. Neuroscience of Animals Visit the College of Veterinary medicine and learn to conduct a physical exam and neurological exam on live animals. Learn about the physiology of the nervous system and examine animal brain specimens and x‐rays. Examine animals with neurological disorders and try your hand at diagnosing them. Annamaria Tadlock Tabitha Wolf Stephanie Haupt Kari Moore Annamaria is a third‐year veterinary student and was the student ambassador club president for the Veterinary School for the 2012‐2013 school year. Back to the Future with Electric Car Design Come learn about the future of transportation with Arcimoto. Presenters Chris Angot and Joe Morgan will discuss and demonstrate how electric cars are engineered and manufactured. Participants will be able to look under the hood of one of their prototype cars and ask questions from the experts! Joe Morgan Joe has 13 years’ experience as a Senior Department Head at Marathon Coach, where he managed the entire paint operation for multi‐million dollar luxury coaches. Joe was in the Army for 10 years, serving as an Infantry Squad Leader, Combat Engineer, then onto the Non Commissioned Officer <strong>Academy</strong> where he graduated first in his class of 300. During the Gulf War Joe was promoted to First Sergeant, Acting Jack and was in the top 3% of all Non Commissioned Officers in the US Army. Pathways in Pharmacy Whether you are going into pharmacy or medicine, or simply visit your local pharmacy, at some point everyone comes in contact with the field of pharmacy. There is a broad range of career options and settings for pharmacists. In some environments, pharmacists delegate to and supervise aides, technicians and interns. Others may specialize in cancer treatment, geriatrics, pediatrics, mental disorders, nutrition, or health care administration. In this workshop participants will learn about opportunities in pharmacy practice and research. Activities will include assessment techniques for evaluation of medication therapy, compounding a pharmaceutical product (lip balm!), and an introduction to some of the research being conducted at the College of Pharmacy.
