1. Education and Human Development’s Spring Research Colloquium
The College of Education and Human Development’s Spring Research Colloquium continues with two additional events. The intent is to provide a forum for College faculty to share and discuss their research — planned, in process or recently completed –and to learn from each other.
The seminars are held from 2-3 p.m. on various Fridays in 159 Shibles Hall. Members of the campus community and general public are welcome to attend.
The final installment in the colloquium series will be:
May 19 — “Comparing instructional modes: One element of physics education research,” Michael Wittmann.
2. Workshop: Avian Influenza Issues and Disposal Options
Contact: Mark Hutchinson (207) 832-0343; Jen O’Leary (207) 581-3106
UMaine Cooperative Extension and Maine Compost Team experts will provide information about proper disposal methods for routine and catastrophic bird mortalities on June 2, 2006 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Jewett Hall at University of Maine in Augusta. The workshop is intended to inform and prepare poultry producers, owners of small poultry flocks, and others who may be asked or need to dispose of bird mortalities. Proper disposal of carcasses minimizes risks to people, remaining flocks, and the environment.
