Abstract: Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that go on to develop into any of the more than 200 types of cell the adult human body holds. The identification and isolation of stem cells have establish great potential for stem cells to be used to replace or repair damaged cells, and to drastically change the treatment of conditions like cancer, diabetes and Parkinson's disease and even paralysis. The presentation will focus on introducing the basics of stem cells, reviewing the history and current progress of stem cell research, and discussing the potentials and challenges of developing stem cell-mediated therapy. 倪孝慈博士將解說近年來斡細胞的研究進展史 斡細胞是人類最基本的細胞 它可以成長演化為成人器官中任何二百種細胞之一 斡細胞很可能作為未來疾病治療的工具, 譬如 cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, paralysis 等 她也將探討斡細胞研發的困難和挑戰 倪孝慈畢業台灣大學並獲明大博士 5:15-5:55 Title ( 講題 ): Weather-Related Natural Disasters: Are we Prepared to Respond? (Presents in English) Speaker ( 講員 ): Dr. Mark Seeley Professor and Extension Meteorologist and Climatologist in the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate at the Univ. of Minnesota. Moderator ( 主持人 )..程惠賢博士 Mark Seeley joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota Department of Soil, Water, and Climate in 1978, after spending time as a principal scientist at the NASA/Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Since that time he has served as extension climatologist/meteorologist, coordinating weather and climate educational programs with the National Weather Service, the Minnesota State Climatology Office, and various state agencies. Dr. Seeley holds degrees from the University of California-Berkeley (B.A.1969), Northern Illinois University (M.S. 1975) and University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Ph.D. 1977). He has been a weekly commentator on the Minnesota Public Radio s Morning Edition news program since 1992, and is the author of "Minnesota Weather Almanac", published in 2006 by the Minnesota Historical Society Press. Abstract: In recent months, we seemed to have witnessed an increasing number of weather-related natural disasters both in the U.S. and around the world, including hurricanes (also known as cyclones and typhoons in other parts of the world), torrential rains and floods, droughts and wild fires, as well as other types of disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, with consequences from such disasters often similar to the weather-related disasters. Some have argued that climate change would bring changes in the frequency and amplitude of weather extremes, and that these would 4
bring dire consequences for human society. However, regardless of climate change implications, we are suffering from greater exposure and loss when it comes to natural disasters resulting from weather extremes primarily as a result of changing demographic patterns, population growth, and investment in exposed infrastructure. How our lives are affected and how we as individuals and as a society prepare to respond to these disasters need public attention and discussion in order for us to take meaningful actions that preserve the environment and protect human lives. Dr. Mark Seeley 明大教授並主持公共無線電台每週一次的氣象專題報導 美國及全球多處發生許多異常的自然災害, 從地震 水災 雪災 颶風 龍捲風到海潚等, 它們是起因於氣侯變遷 人口成長或人為因素造成?
