  • Position Statement on Parran Hall
    University of Pittsburgh Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Discrimination, Advocacy Committee (EIADAC) www.univsenate.pitt.edu/committees/equity-inclusion-and-anti-discrimination-advocacy Parran Hall Position Statement The University Senate’s Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Advocacy Committee (EIADAC) is concerned that a University building continues to bear the name of Dr. Thomas Parran. A noted physician and Public Health Service officer, Parran was appointed the sixth Surgeon General of the United States from 1936 to 1948. During that time, Parran was aware1 of the notorious Tuskegee and Guatemala syphilis experiments,2 conducted by Dr. John C. Cutler, which examined the long-term health impact of syphilitic infection by following the natural progression of the disease in already infected rural African-American men in Alabama and by deliberately infecting healthy, yet vulnerable populations in Guatemala (i.e., prisoners, sex workers, soldiers, children, and psychiatric patients) with the disease without their knowledge and consent. The study went on in the United States and in Guatemala long after the discovery of penicillin as an efficacious cure for syphilis, and study subjects were led to believe that they were receiving medical treatment when they, in fact, were not. Historian Susan Reverby, in reviewing Cutler’s files discovered the following: “Malaria specialist G. Robert Coatney, who had done prison malaria studies, visited the project in February 1947. In reporting to Cutler after he returned to the States, he explained that he had brought Surgeon General Thomas Parran up to date and that with a "merry twinkle [that] came into his eye ... [he] said 'You know, we couldn't do such an experiment in this country.' Such conduct should not be glorified and is contrary to Pitt’s valiant mission.

  • Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME
    Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME Welcome to University of Pittsburgh on-campus housing! Whether you are living in a residence hall, apartment-style accommodation, or fraternity complex, you are one of over 7,900 undergraduate students residing on campus, and your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us. It is our priority to ensure that your time in on-campus housing is one of many positive and rewarding experiences here at Pitt. The purpose of this Handbook is not only to provide you with a comprehensive reference for living on campus, but also to advise you of the policies for residing in University housing. This Handbook is not, and does not, create a contract. Upon electronically signing your Housing and Dining Services Contract (Contract), you agreed to, among other things, abide by the policies, rules, and regulations set forth in this Handbook and any other official University publications, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures. Communal campus living can be a great college experience, but with your decision to do so comes a responsibility to abide by the rules necessary for the safety and enjoyment of all. With your cooperation, this goal will be met. This Handbook is divided into two sections. The first section (Everyday Living) addresses matters specifically related to your occupancy of University housing. The second section (Resources and Services) provides other useful information pertaining to the University. Each section has been organized alphabetically for easy reference. If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please feel free to contact Panther Central at 412-648-1100, [email protected], or www.pc.pitt.edu.

    1017 Cathedral of Learning [email protected] Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Website TEL: 614-571-4216 Julia R. Bursten Education 2015 Ph.D. (expected), History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh 2010 MA, Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh 2008 BA, Philosophy, Rice University Honors Thesis: Selecting a Structure of Scientific Communication Advisor: Melinda Fagan Dissertation: Surfaces, Scales, and Synthesis: Reasoning at the Nanoscale Committee Robert Batterman, Chair Jill Millstone Sandra Mitchell John Norton Mark Wilson James Woodward Abstract Philosophers interested in scientific methodology have focused largely on physics, biology, and cognitive science. They have paid considerably less attention to sciences such as chemistry and nanoscience, where not only are the subjects distinct, but the very aims differ: chemistry and nanoscience center around synthesis. Methods associated with synthesis do not fit well with description, explanation, and prediction that so dominate aims in philosophers' paradigm sciences. In order to synthesize a substance or material, scientists need different kinds of information than they need to predict, explain, or describe. Consequently, they need different kinds of models and theories. Specifically, chemists need additional models of how reactions will proceed. In practice, this means chemists must model surface structure and behavior, because reactions occur on the surfaces of materials. Physics, and by extension much of philosophy of science, ignores the structure and behavior of surfaces, modeling surfaces only as \boundary conditions" with virtually no influence on material behavior. Such boundary conditions are not seen as part of the physical laws that govern material behavior, so little consid- eration has been given to their roles in improving scientists' understanding of materials and aiding synthesis.

  • Graduate School of Public Health
    University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health 130 De Soto Street Occupant Information This information is for occupants of Graduate School of Public Health. University guidelines for workplace safety, emergency preparedness and emergency response are found in the University of Pittsburgh Safety Manual https://www.ehs.pitt.edu/manual and the University of Pittsburgh Emergency Management Guidelines found on https://www.emergency.pitt.edu/resources/emergency-management-guidelines. The Graduate School of Public Health building has fire protection features that enable the use of a zoned fire alarm system, which means that the floor of the emergency and only one floor above and one floor below the site of the emergency, will signal fire alarm conditions. If the fire alarm signal (audible horns/speakers and visual strobe lights) activates on your floor, evacuate the building. The fire alarm pull stations are located at the exit doors and near the stairwells. 1. If you hear or observe the fire alarm signal: i. Verify that your floor is involved in the emergency by observing the strobe signals. ii. If possible and safe to do so: turn off gas, hot plates, and other ignition sources. Close fume hood sash. iii. Close the door behind you and evacuate the building by following the EXIT signs to nearest stairwell or exterior door. Do not use the elevators during an alarm condition, unless directed by an emergency responder. iv. Proceed to an assembly point away from the building. The closest assembly area for the Graduate School of Public Health is Benedum Hall at 3700 O’Hara Street.
