5.2) Harvard Foundation Annual Science Conference Luncheon Fri. (3/16), 12PM @ Pfoho's Hastings Room
"...On March 16th, 2007 The Harvard Foundation will honor noted biologist Dr. Baldomero Olivera, Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Utah, for his contributions to the study of the molecular mechanisms that underlie nervous system function. Dr. Olivera, who was nominated by members of our Faculty/Student Advisory Committee, is well known for his groundbreaking research with the neurotoxins produced by venomous cone snails, Conus, found in the tropical waters of the Philippines.
In 2006 the Harvard Foundation's annual science conference was renamed the "Annual Albert Einstein Science Conference: Advancing Minorities and Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics." The new title commemorates the work of Albert Einstein, who lectured in science at black colleges following his immigration to the United States, and who spoke out against racism and anti-Semitism. While this conference is open to students of all backgrounds, the African-American students from the black student organizations, and Jewish students from Harvard Hillel come together as traditional co-sponsors for this annual program. Additionally, this year the Harvard Philippine Forum and the Harvard Undergraduate Biological Sciences Society have been invited to speak at the honorary luncheon.
Please join us at the annual Albert Einstein Science Conference reception and luncheon, in Pforzheimer...."
