CBE Undergraduate Student InfoBlast Email - Series 1

Dear CBE Students,

We are trying out something new in order to reduce the amount of emails you receive from our office via the list serve. At the beginning of each week I will send out one email that summarizes all the scholarship opportunities, internship opportunities, campus events, etc. that I received the week before and was asked to share with you. Normally I send these out as individual emails. Now you will have one email, once a week with all that info. Hopefully this will help you to more easily sort through what interests you rather than filtering through several emails. I will also be posting information to our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/UNMcbe/). All of the InfoBlast Emails will be archived on our website.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Sarah

Re: UNM HSC Health Hackathon

Health Hackathon

The University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center (HSC) Clinical Translational Science Center

(CTSC) is hosting its inaugural ‘Health Hackathon’ the weekend of May 18-20, 2018. This event, modeled

after similar events hosted by institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Yale,

and Harvard, is an exciting opportunity for forward movement in research and prototype development.

The Health Hackathon is a unique opportunity for clinicians, entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists,

developers, designers, and students to address some of the most challenging problems in healthcare

and medicine by collaborating in a fast-paced, competitive environment. At the completion of the event,

winning teams will be awarded prize money to make their ideas come to life.

Participants will kick-off the weekend on Friday night with a ‘working’ social, during which the problems

to be addressed over the weekend will be introduced and individuals will self-select into teams. These

teams will be the pioneers of new ideas and prototypes, which they will develop and hone throughout

the weekend. On Saturday, teams will work to develop their ideas and design their prototypes. The

teams will have access to experienced mentors and resources, including 3-D printers and other

technology, to help them develop their concepts. Come Sunday, all teams will pitch their ideas and

display their designs to a panel of judges.

Interested individuals can apply to participate using the attached Hackathon application. Please contact

Carla Cordova at CNCordova@salud.unm.edu for more information. Space is limited, and a balanced mix

of people from various backgrounds will be invited to participate. Attendees need to plan to attend

Friday evening, all day Saturday, and through Sunday afternoon. Refreshments and meals will be

provided.

We hope that this initial event inspires future healthcare hacking!

UNM HSC Health Hackathon

FAQs:

Can I attend?

We welcome clinicians, entrepreneurs, engineers, developers, designers, and students who are

interested in addressing some of the most challenging problems in healthcare and medicine.

What should I bring?

You are welcome to bring a laptop for hacking and a valid ID for admission into the event. We will

provide everything else and more, including food, beverages, hacking materials, and free swag.

How does registration work?

Registration is open—all you have to do is complete the application. Space is limited to 100 participants.

We will be in contact with all first-round applicants regarding their status in mid to late April.

How do teams work?

Each team consists of a maximum of 5 members. Participants will interact during a social kickoff event

on Friday evening, and teams will form at this time. Team registration will happen Friday evening, and

no later than Saturday morning.

What if I don’t have a team?

If you registered as an individual and do not yet have a team, don’t sweat it. There will be several events

geared towards facilitating team formation and project ideation. We will help you find people to work

with!

I don't code -- what about me?

Not all hackers code! In fact, you've found the perfect place and time to pick up new skills and concepts.

There will be mentors, workshops, and tech talks to help ease you through the hackathon experience.

Block Copolymer/Water/Oil Mesophases Reza Foudazi

Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM

88003, USA

Abstract

In the presence of selective solvents, amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble and form

different mesomorphic structures, known as mesophases, such as micellar cubic, lamellar,

normal/reverse hexagonal, and bicontinuous cubic. Mesophases have been utilized in

pharmaceutical and biomedical applications and as template for synthesis of mesoporous material

for separation and adsorption processes. While polymeric surfactants are less studied than small-

molecule surfactants for self-assembly, they offer some opportunities in terms of flexibility,

diversity, and functionality. Using a monomeric phase as oil in mesophases, we propose a new

technique for the preparation of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes without the need for organic

solvent or post-modification. As-synthesized membranes are found to have pore sizes in the

nanometer range and exhibit both excellent fouling resistance and high permeance of water,

outperforming conventional UF membranes. The processability of such mesophases for large-

scale production can be investigated through measuring their rheological properties.

The fifth point of the Black Panther Party 10-Point Platform and Program states: “We want decent education for our People that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society…that teaches us our true history and role in the present-day society.” Elaine Brown, the Party’s former Chairman, will examine the breadth of this Point and discuss the historical example the Party set forth in addressing education as a tool for black liberation, operating under the slogan “Educate to Liberate!” 2018
