Further, the workshops will help enhance the entrepreneurial network that exists throughout the academic and business community, thereby promoting collaborative efforts toward moving technologies out of the university in the form of innovative solutions to many of the problems facing our community and broader society.

Meuillet, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Departments of Nutritional Sciences and Molecular and Cellular Biology.  There is an unmet need in the field of cancer treatment, as well as diabetes, pain, periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases: All NSAIDs or aspirin have secondary effects, stomach bleeding or secondary deadly cardiovascular effects. The goal is to discover drugs that will selectively inhibit a specific class of enzyme responsible for the formation of inflammation-induced prostaglandins. Dr. Meuillet will explain how novel inhibitors developed in her lab are tested against these above mentioned diseases. Exploratory discussion / open forum facilitated by Dr. Ossanna. Seating is limited and RSVP is requested. Please email Matt Mars at mmars@eller.arizona.edu by 10am on May 2, 2008 to reserve your spot in this exciting and worthwhile workshop.

May 2 - 6pm - The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Celebrity Waiters Dinner in Memory of Larry Smith
Doubletree Hotel on Alvernon

The event raises a lot of money with silent and live auction items and through ticket sales to the dinner. The celebrities are local celebrities and athletes, Josh Pastner, radio and tv personalities, etc.  If this is something you're interested in being involved with, let me know!  Every ten minutes, a child or adult dies from a blood-related cancer.  Over 785,000 Americans are presently living with a blood cancer. While these statistics are overwhelming, there is hope for those faced with hearing those devastating words, you have cancer. Assistance by your group would help the Society to provide hope through groundbreaking research and financial assistance to patients.  The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is dedicated to finding cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins, and myeloma and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.  One way is through research we are supporting right here at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Contributions help ease the burden of those individuals whose world will forever be changed by blood cancers.  If you are interested in getting involved, contact garanda@u.arizona.edu

May 5: 5:30 p.m. - Countdown to Mars! Your Guide to the Mars Phoenix Mission
Enoteca Pizzeria Wine Bar, 58 W. Congress Street
Presenter: Patrick Woida, Phoenix Senior Engineer and Rigel Woida, OFB Principle Engineer, Phoenix Mars Mission  Admission: Free.  Food: Free appetizers. Beverages available for purchase.  Flandrau: The UA Science Center is holding its next "got Science? Caf?quot; at Enoteca Pizzeria Wine Bar in downtown Tucson on Monday, May 5, 2008 at 5:30 pm. The Science Caf?is a casual forum for people to meet and discuss a particular science topic with UA scientists in the relaxed atmosphere of a local restaurant. Topics of discussion vary each month, but each is current, relevant and, at times, slightly edgy and humorous - or controversial.  Have you been wondering what's happening with the Phoenix Mars Mission? Do you know what science will be conducted on the Martian surface? Do you want a personal guide from the experts on what to expect when the Phoenix Mars Lander lands on Mars on May 25, 2008? Then you won't want to miss the Science Caf on Monday, May 5th, at 5:30 p.m., when University of Arizona Phoenix Mars Mission scientists Patrick and Rigel Woida will start off the evening with a short talk entitled "Countdown to Mars! Your Guide to the Mars Phoenix Mission."
Successfully launched in August 2007, the Phoenix Mars mission is designed to study the history of water and habitability potential in the Martian arctic's ice-rich soil. Information gathered by the Phoenix Mars mission may help scientists determine whether Mars was, or is, capable of supporting life as we know it. Most scientists agree that the presence of liquid water is the primary requirement for life. Shipherd Reed will moderate the discussion. Reed, who promises to wrap things up by 730 p.m., will keep the discussion lively and on track. In
conclusion, audience members will have the opportunity to submit discussion topic ideas for subsequent Science Caf events.  Enoteca Pizzeria and Wine Bar is located at 58 W. Congress St. on the northeast corner of W. Congress St. and N. Church Ave. After 5 p.m. free parking is available on local streets.  For more information about Flandrau: The UA Science Center
