  • The Fourth Report of Senior Pay and Perks in UK Universities History This
    Transparency at the top? The fourth report of senior pay and perks in UK universities History This is the fourth report on pay and perks at the top of British higher education institutions (HEIs) to be published by the University and College Union (UCU). It forms part of the union’s ongoing campaign for greater transparency in higher education, including the rationale behind senior pay rises. UCU submitted a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to 158 HEIs in October 2017. This followed similar requests submitted in 2016, 2015 and 2014. All requests were designed to shine a light on the arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in universities, and support the union’s call for reform. The basis for this report The FoI request that forms the basis of this report was sent to 158 (HEIs). It requested details of vice-chancellors’ (or head of institution if known by a different title) salaries and those of other senior post-holders earning over £100,000 at the institution during the academic year of 2016/17 (1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017). It also asked for details of flights, spending on hotels, spending on expenses and if the vice-chancellor was provided with accommodation by the university. Finally, we requested to know whether or not the vice-chancellor was a member of the remuneration committee, and requested a copy of the most recently ratified minutes of the institution’s remuneration committee. Variety of responses The questions on expenditure on flights, hotels, expenses and accommodation for vice-chancellors elicited a huge variation in responses with many institutions deploying exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act to avoid providing data.

    WomenCount Leaders in Higher Education 2016 A report by Norma Jarboe OBE ‘There’s no magic about getting a good gender balance – just dogged repetition of what a high priority it is and a determination to seek out strong women candidates who could hold their own against any competition.’ WomenCount ‘If universities inhibit the progression of talented female staff, they in turn are unable to reach their full potential. We know that universities make a huge contribution to society through research, teaching and partnerships with businesses, among many other activities.’ Professor Dame Athene Donald, Professor of Experimental Physics and Master of Churchill College, University of Cambridge WomenCount are very grateful to Perrett Laver for their support, the Government Equalities Office for their enagagement and Imperial College London for hosting the launch of this report on 2 March 2016.

    PARKINSON’SDISEASE2014 ADVANCING RESEARCH, IMPROVING LIVES PROGRAM MATERIALS Sponsored by: January 6 – 7, 2014 Natcher Conference Center National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD About our cover: The program cover image is a stylized version of the Parkinson’s Disease Motor-Related Pattern (PDRP), an abnormal pattern of regional brain function observed in MRI studies which shows increased metabolism indicated by red in some brain regions (pallidothalamic, pontine, and motor cortical areas), and decreased metabolism indicated by blue in others (associated lateral premotor and posterior parietal areas). Original image used with permission of David Eidelberg, M.D. For further information see: Hirano et al., Journal of Neuroscience 28 (16): 4201-4209. Welcome Message from Dr. Story C. Landis Welcome to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conference, “Parkinson’s Disease 2014: Advancing Research, Improving Lives.” Remarkable new discoveries and technological advances are rapidly changing the way we study the biological mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, identify paths to improved treatments, and design effective clinical trials. Elucidating mechanisms and developing and testing effective interventions require a diverse set of approaches and perspectives. The NINDS has organized this conference with the primary goal of seeking consensus on, and prioritizing, research recommendations spanning clinical, translational, and basic Parkinson’s disease research that we support. We have assembled a stellar and dedicated group of session chairs and panelists who have worked collaboratively to identify emerging research opportunities in Parkinson’s research. While we have divided our working groups into three main research areas, we expect each will inform the others over the course of the next two days, and we look forward to both complementary and unique perspectives.

    10th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TYPH ID & OTHER INVASIVE SALMONELLOSES April 4–6, 2017 | Kampala, Uganda 10th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TYPH ID & OTHER INVASIVE SALMONELLOSES WELCOME April 4–6, 2017 | Kampala, Uganda THE WORLD NEEDS ACTION ON TYPHOID — BUILDING EVIDENCE AND REFINING STRATEGIES The Coalition against Typhoid, housed at the Sabin Vaccine Institute, welcomes you to the 10th International Conference on Typhoid and Other Invasive Salmonelloses. We are pleased to provide a forum for more than 300 researchers, policy makers, immunization managers and advocates to come together to share the latest developments and best strategies to reduce the burden of typhoid, paratyphoid and nontyphoidal salmonelloses (NTS) on communities around the world. The conference theme, “From Evidence to Action,” is timely as we prepare for the introduction of new typhoid conjugate vaccines. The research, evidence and ideas shared this week in Kampala will provide the foundation for global action against typhoid, paratyphoid and NTS. Together, we will review crucial developments to reduce the global burden of these diseases, including results from major surveillance projects in Africa and Asia, the potential of human infection models and strategies for countering antibiotic resistance. The program will also highlight outbreak control methods, exciting innovations in diagnostics, water, sanitation and hygiene strategies for prevention, and policy measures aimed at accelerating the implementation of these interventions. The coming availability of a new generation of typhoid conjugate vaccines makes this a pivotal moment for global action on typhoid. These promising new vaccines offer important advantages over prior vaccines, including longer duration of protection, the ability to protect young children, and the potential for administration with other vaccines in routine immunization of infants.

  • Nasa's Microgravity Research Program
    NASA'S MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH PROGRAM NASA/TM - 2000-210615 NationalAeronauticsand SpaceAdministration GeorgeC.MarshallSpaceFlightCenter MarshallSpaceFlightCenter,Alabama35812 • !;i_:!¸ i • Onthe frontcover... In FY 99, the microgravity biotechnology pro- gram investigated the structure of macromolecules through Earth- and space-grown crystals and con- ducted experiments in tissue engineering and basic cellular functions both in ground laboratories and in orbit. These cells were isolated from cartilage grown on Russian Space Station Mh'. Gray areas (green on cover) indicate the presence of estaserase, a key metabolic enzyme. Discovering how processing affects the structure and properties of materials is the focus of the materi- als science discipline. A microgravity environment allows a simpler view of the relationship of process- ing to structure. Several experiments have been con- ducted and are planned for investigating the formation of dendrites, a common microstructure in metals. This dendrite of pivalic acid was formed during a microgravity shuttle mission. The study of combustion science in microgravity contributes to the basic understanding of the com- bustion process and of how to prevent and control burning on Earth and in space. This photo was taken during an experiment on candle flames that took place on Mir. Fluid physicists participate in the microgravity program to understand the fundamentals of fluid behavior under various conditions. Microgravity experiments investigating liquid drops have con- tributed to our knowledge of microscopic and macroscopic processes, from the way atomic nuclei undergo fission to how planets are formed. This photo was taken during a drop experiment conducted on the space shuttle. Physicists use a microgravity environment to help them discover and understand the laws govern- ing our universe.
