The Alzheimer's Project : Momentum in Science
12/03/2009, 12:00 pm - 1 pm
Board Room, EMU
Walk-Ins Welcome ~ Space is available. THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT is a presentation of HBO Documentary Films and the National Institute on Aging. One of the most devastating forms of memory loss is Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible and progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. Today, Alzheimer's is the second most-feared illness in America, following cancer, and may affect as many as five million Americans. As the baby-boomer generation moves through retirement, that number could soar to more than 11 million by 2040. While there is no cure for the disease, THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about the future. Created by the award-winning team behind HBO's acclaimed "Addiction" project, this four-part series takes a close look at groundbreaking discoveries made by the country's leading scientists, as well as the effects of this debilitating and fatal disease both on those with Alzheimer's and on their families. Series Dates: October 29, November 5, November 19 and December 3.
"Momentum in Science" is a two-part state-of-the-science film that takes viewers inside the laboratories and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians, revealing some of the most cutting-edge research advances.
"Are You Talking to Me?!": Making Effective Use of Communication Choices
12/08/2009, 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Bean West Conference Room
In today's workplace, we have multiple means to communicate with others. Face-to-face communication, telephone and voicemail, email and texting: each has its advantages and limitations. Given the time constraints of the 21st century workplace, we need to ensure not just that we are communicating, but that we are doing so effectively, respectfully, and appropriately. Each method demands a different level of attention density, each conveys only certain kinds of information well, and each is prone to different types of misunderstanding. In this workshop, we will identify strategies for sending and responding to communications efficiently based on what you really need to "say and convey."
