  • Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha the Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear Reader
    Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha The Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear reader, It is with great pride that I present to you this compilation of CA-A’s projects for the 2011-2012 school year. Through the combined efforts of our dedicated officer corps and membership, our impressive class of new initiates, and our faithful alumni, we were able to accomplish truly spectacular things this past year. We held a record-breaking 46 fun/social events and 31 company infosessions, most of which were open to other engineering students, along with numerous professional development events and service activities. But what truly exemplifies the success of the chapter over the past year is the fruitful cultivation of our new, amazing projects. Taking the call of noblesse oblige to heart, the theme of our past year was outreach, both to the College of Engineering and to the surrounding Bay area. CA-A made it our mission to provide opportunities for engineering students and Bay area community members. In the Fall, CA-A unveiled for the first time its College Bound event, an all-day event with the goal of promoting post-secondary STEM education to underrepresented groups. Nearly 200 high school students travelled to the Berkeley campus to hear about student research projects and participate in fun hands-on engineering modules. Then again in the Spring, CA-A rolled out its Engineering Open House, a more focused event to give high school students interested in engineering majors an insider’s look at the life of an engineering student at Berkeley.

Little is known about adherence to the regimen, sexual practices, and overall effectiveness when PrEP is implemented in clinics that treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and community-based clinics serving men who have sex with men (MSM). OBJECTIVE To assess PrEP adherence, sexual behaviors, and the incidence of STIs and HIV infection in a cohort of MSM and transgender women initiating PrEP in the United States. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Demonstration project conducted from October 1, 2012, through February 10, 2015 (last date of follow-up), among 557 MSM and transgender women in 2 STI clinics in San Francisco, California, and Miami, Florida, and a community health center in Washington, DC. Data were analyzed from December 18, 2014, through August 8, 2015. INTERVENTIONS A combination of daily, oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine was provided free of charge for 48 weeks.

Overview of the Activities of the Taube-Koret Center for Huntington’s Disease Research for 2009 We are pleased to provide this annual report describing the activities of the Taube-Koret Center for Huntington’s Disease Research during 2009. The Center was established in 2009 with a joint gift from Taube Philanthropies and the Koret Foundation. It has been a very exciting year. I am delighted to say that we exceeded all five of the scientific and financial goals we set for the first year of operation. Our progress in each area is described in detail below. Goal 1. Establish the Taube-Koret Center for Huntington’s Disease Our initial goal was to establish a Center focused on developing therapeutics for Huntington’s disease (HD). We proposed to develop an infrastructure that would be capable of identifying and validating drug targets for HD and of discovering compounds that modify HD and have the potential to become drugs.
