FREE EBOOK
During January, you can download a free copy of the book, Cognitive Dysfunction in Bipolar Disorder: A Guide for Clinicians edited by Joseph F. Goldberg, M.D., and Katherine Burdick, Ph.D.

This offer is extended to the UVa affiliates because the Library subscribes to Psychiatry Online. You can access the Book of the Month from their home page, at PsychiatryOnline.com (in the bottom left column).

The Book of the Month is supplied as PDF. You will have access to the pdf "book of the month" that you download for only as long as the “download” link appears on the home page (usually one month).

Come to Spring semester walk-ins for answers. The first 8 Curry students to arrive will receive a 15-minute one-on-one session on a first-come; first-served basis.

The American Psychological Association invites you to attend a free webinar designed specifically for experienced researchers: upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and other advanced researchers. These one- to two-hour sessions are intended for those familiar with APA’s research databases and each session will be crafted to the needs of the participants. You will be asked for your specific research interests at sign-up.

The webinars are hosted on Adobe Connect and all times listed are Eastern Standard. Please visit

Institute Name: Training Institute in Single-Case Design Research

Eligibility: Applicants must have a doctoral degree (Ph.D., Ed.D.) and experience conducting research relevant to education. Click here for additional eligibility requirements and info.

Application deadline: All applications must be received no later than March 11, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. EST.

Objective: The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) at the Institute of Education Sciences announces its first Summer Research Training Institute on Single-Case Intervention Research Design and Analysis. The Training Institute is intended to increase the national capacity of education researchers to conduct single-case intervention studies that have scientifically credible methodology and analyses.

Dates of institute: June 27–July 1, 2011

Costs: The Institute of Education Sciences will pay for travel to and from the Summer Training Institute site, lodging, per diem on days of instruction, and course materials

Location: University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
This one-week Training Institute will be held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Classroom instruction will take place in UW-Madison's newly remodeled School of Education. Institute participants will be housed at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Madison, WI. The hotel is located within walking distance of the university campus and the School of Education building.

PANEL DISCUSSION
Please join us in a discussion about “Overcoming a Legacy of Distrust: Reflections on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” The event is co-sponsored by Curry.

Date & Time: Sunday, January 23, 4:00 p.m.
Location: Paramount Theater, free admission, MAP

The panel includes James Childress, University Professor and Director of the Institute for Practical Ethics and Public Life; Holly Edwards, Vice-Mayor of Charlottesville and Parish Nurse; Jeanita Richardson, Associate Professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, School of Medicine; Patrick Tolan, Director of Youth-Nex, The U.Va. Center to Promote Effective Youth Development; and Karen Waters, Charlottesville Quality Community Council.

In May 2010, Dr. Tolan wrote this about the book.“This is the most compelling book I have read in recent years. It tells about the intersection of scientific progress and human dignity and shows in very personable stories, the thorny issues that need to be carefully considered by all of us undertaking research. The layering of the story of Henrietta’s life and family on the evolution of appreciation of (or lack thereof) of research participant rights against the background of race relations in our society and the remarkable reach of scientific advances related to her immortal cells makes a fully engrossing and convincing reminder of what human subject protections are all about.”

SCIENCE HALL OF FAME
Unlike traditional halls of fame, this one does not rely on the subjective judgment of a small committee of experts. Instead, it uses an objective and literal measure of fame: the appearance of people's names in books over the centuries. Until now, most rigorous metrics of scientific impact have relied on citations: the number of peer-reviewed articles a scientist has written, the "impact factor" of the journals in which they were published, and how many times other scientists have cited those articles. But that measures only scientists' impact on their peers. This is a new way to measure a scientist's influence. It captures fame on the grandest scale, weighing the cultural footprint of scientists across societies and throughout history. The hall of fame for science is based on rigorous culturomic data.

This first version of the Science Hall of Fame is a rough draft. It is created and curated by Adrian Veres and John Bohannon.
