Cesa Remarks : Interaction with UNESCO and UNIDO; involvement with IUPAC Company Associates throughout the developed world. Objective The IUPAC-UNESCO-UNIDO Safety Training Program allows safety experts from developing countries to learn about safety and environmental protective measures by visiting and working in plants of IUPAC Company Associates in the industrialized world. IUPAC, with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations International Development Organization (UNIDO), have established and maintained the Safety Training Program to promote interactions between developed countries and the developing world to disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge on safety and environmental protection in chemical production. Each scientist or engineer accepted into the Safety Training Program is assigned to an IUPAC Company Associate in an industrialized country. The period of training is typically one to three weeks. Accommodation, subsistence and travel expenses are provided for all trainees.

Extractions: July - August 2003 Striving for Open Access by Wendy Warr Wendy Warr The seminar on Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information held in Paris in January 2003, dealt with an issue that could eventually impact all IUPAC members. This timely seminar organized by INSERM , CNRS-INIST , and ICSTI, and supported by ICSU and CODATA explored the economic, political, and legal realities of the Open Access (OA) movement. (an organization that aims to reduce the costs of access to learned publications), OA is a call for free, unrestricted access, on the public Internet, to the literature that scholars produce. It aims to accelerate research, enrich education, allow sharing of learning between richer and poorer nations, and enhance the return on taxpayer investment in research. These goals would be achieved by using existing funds to pay for dissemination rather than access. In the 75 poorest countries, 56% of medical institutions have no subscriptions to journals and 21% have only 2 print subscriptions.
Extractions: Each year a limited number of postgraduate fellowships with the support of DAAD of Germany are available for the staff members of ANSTI member institutions.

Extractions: by Thomas Blair , Harvard College '03 Linus Pauling in 1958. Courtesy of the Boston Public Library Print Department. The biography of two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling may be just as extraordinary for its twists as for its peaks. Why did a boy who studied advanced mathematics at twelve years old nearly decide not to attend college? Why was he called unpatriotic and ousted from his job at Cal Tech while he led the struggle for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty? And why is a Nobel laureate for chemistry still being called a 'fraud" and a "quack" by opponents of his "orthomolecular medicine"? Few would dispute the scientist-activist's creativity and independent thought. Beyond that, however, the life and career of Linus Pauling have seen controversy at nearly every turn. Pauling grew up in a German immigrant family in Portland, Oregon; the son of a pharmacist, he gained early scientific experience watching his father behind the counter. Pauling's father recognized and encouraged his son's extraordinary curiosity, as evidenced by a letter he wrote to the Portland Oregonian when his son was nine years old. The elder Pauling, seeking reading suggestions for Linus, wrote, "don't say the Bible and Darwin's 'Origin of the Species,' because he has already read them." An eager and independent student, Pauling remembered being fascinated with entomology at 11, geology at 12, and chemistry at 13.

Extractions: Vice President for Research and Information Services It's Not Just Employment/Unemployment Anymore Realities of Ph.D. labor market lead to more complex measures of postgraduation employment A trio of professional societies has recently released reports on the labor market status of new Ph.D. recipients in science and engineering. While providing the usual statistics on employment and unemployment, this new round of reports reveals the underlying complexity of the current science and engineering labor market. Ph.D.s are not just obtaining traditional jobs in academe, government or industry; they are finding employment in a wide variety of situations. Included in this mix is the postdoc, which is considered in some studies as employment, and in others treated as a separate category. The analyses conducted by the professional societies reflect this more fluid employment picture. American Institute of Physics One of the perennial leaders in collecting and disseminating data on physicists, the AIP has published its 1996 initial employment report on 1995 physics degree recipients. As shown in Figure 1 , AIP divides employment status into a number of useful categories, including postdocs, potentially permanent, and temporary positions. The change in employment status from the summer immediately following the receipt of the doctorate to the winter is striking the 19 percent seeking employment drops to a 4 percent unemployment rate, and the percentage with postdocs and potentially permanent positions increases. As expected, employment status for new Ph.D.s changes rapidly in the first six months following the doctorate.

Extractions: (NCUR/Lancy Initiative, Summer 2005) The Board of Governors of the National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) and the Trustees of the Alice and Leslie E. Lancy Foundation issue a call for proposals for the 2005 NCUR/Lancy Initiative. The Initiative is designed to provide exceptional undergraduates with the opportunity to do original work in close collaboration with faculty mentors. The program will make grants to institutions only. The initial award will be $40,000 for the summer of 2005, to be used primarily for the support of student creative and scholarly work. Awardee institutions will receive an additional $22,500 for the summer of 2006, providing they have made acceptable progress during the first year of the award. It is the intention of the NCUR Board and the Lancy Foundation to give up to four new awards for 2005, depending on sufficient recovery of the financial markets. The NCUR/Lancy program encourages colleges and universities to devote more attention and resources to their undergraduates who show promise of exceptional achievement. The program focus is on helping to build communities of student and faculty scholars spanning the academic disciplines but working on a unifying theme. An institution that receives an NCUR/Lancy award will have a cadre of faculty with the time, energy, and interest to supervise six to eight undergraduates for a period of eight to ten weeks during the summer, and an administrative support structure that will nurture this activity.

Extractions: Disease Reference Injury Reference Test Reference ... Child Safety Definition: Chem-20 is a "battery" of 20 chemical tests performed on serum (the portion of blood without cells). Electrolytes are ionized salts in blood or tissue fluids (ions are atoms or molecules that carry an electrical charge); electrolytes in the body include sodium, potassium, chlorine, and many others (see the Normal Values). The rest of the tests focus primarily on chemicals related to the body's metabolism and the breakdown of various substances. These would be tests that allow us to evaluate the function of the liver and kidney. Blood is drawn from a vein ( venipuncture ), usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The puncture site is cleaned with antiseptic, and a tourniquet (an elastic band) or blood pressure cuff is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and restrict blood flow through the vein. This causes veins below the tourniquet to distend (fill with blood). A needle is inserted into the vein, and the blood is collected in an air-tight vial or a syringe. During the procedure, the tourniquet is removed to restore circulation. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding
