Science Integration Fellowship - Caifornia Ocean Trust & Humboldt State University - Arcata, CA
California Ocean Science Trust (www.oceansciencetrust.org) and Humboldt State University (HSU) are pleased to announce an 18-month Science Integration Fellowship, to be filled by a creative, skilled, outgoing individual with a commitment to developing innovative approaches for science integration into ocean resource policy and management. This Fellowship is being offered as a partnership with HSU's Marine and Coastal Science Institute, and represents an exciting opportunity to advance assessments of the nation's first statewide marine protected area (MPA) network and foster new scientific approaches to integrate MPAs into ocean and coastal resource management in California.
With the statewide network of MPAs in place, California has invested significantly in establishing baseline ecological and socioeconomic conditions - benchmarks of ocean ecosystem condition against which future changes can be measured. Data from regional MPA baseline programs add up to create the most detailed picture yet created of California's current ocean conditions, and can inform fisheries management, climate change adaptation, and other ocean policies. The Science Integration Fellow will engage a diverse portfolio of agency, academic and citizen-science programs that are collecting information on California's marine ecosystems, with a focus on the North Coast region (from Point Arena to the California/Oregon border). S/he will identify and pursue opportunities for integrative analyses that link ecosystems and disciplines to deepen understanding of ocean ecosystem conditions; develop collaborative approaches to identify and answer management-relevant MPA, fisheries, and climate questions; and develop creative and innovative ways to communicate science.
We are looking for an interdisciplinary marine scientist with a strong foundation of ecological knowledge, and the skills and attributes to bring together teams of researchers to advance approaches for assessing marine ecosystem condition and synthesizing monitoring data into useful products that inform ocean resource management. The position is an 18-month, fixedterm appointment based at Humboldt State University (Arcata, CA). Salary will be commensurate with experience. Benefits including medical, dental and vision insurance are included.
California Ocean Science Trust (www.oceansciencetrust.org) is a non-profit organization that provides scientific guidance to the state on ocean policy issues. We advance a constructive role for science in decision-making by promoting collaboration and mutual understanding among scientists, citizens, managers and policymakers working toward sustained, healthy and productive coastal and ocean ecosystems. By developing new tools and processes and synthesizing and translating scientific knowledge, we help decision-makers realize the full value of public investments in science, and help scientists increase their relevance and impact on society.
Ocean Science Trust leads the design and implementation of a scientific monitoring program for California's MPA network. Following the implementation of the North Coast region MPA's in 2012, the California Ocean Protection Council allocated $4-million to fund baseline monitoring inside and outside of MPAs in the North Coast region. The goal of baseline monitoring is to build a snapshot of ecological and socioeconomic conditions in the region at the time the MPAs were implemented, to establish a 'benchmark' from which we can measure changes in the future. Currently there are 11 projects as part of the baseline program that are collecting data across a range of important ecosystems, as well as collecting socioeconomic and oceanographic data in the region, to generate a comprehensive data set of conditions.
HSU's Marine and Coastal Science Institute (MCSI) develops and promotes interdisciplinary marine and coastal research, education, and outreach at the university. The vision of MCSI is to develop a robust community of HSU students and faculty actively engaged in interdisciplinary research on marine and coastal systems. This research occurs at the interface of the sciences, policy, and economics, and supports vibrant partnerships with local, national, and international organizations. Since it's establishment in 2013, the institute has grown to include 22 faculty from eight departments across HSU's campus, as well as an external advisory board. The MCSI serves as a forum for coordinated development, funding, and execution of marine science research, education, and outreach efforts on campus, and serves as a contact point for community members (such as individuals, non-profits, schools, and tribes), and for state and national agencies involved in marine science and policy work.
Ocean Science Trust Fellowships represent a unique opportunity to launch a career in science integration. Fellows experience the inner workings of policy and management and build valuable facilitation, communication, and strategic thinking skills, while drawing on and advancing their formal academic training. They engage a diverse landscape of potential partners including local, state, federal, and tribal governments NGOs representing a wide variety of interests; and an interdisciplinary array of social and natural scientists.
Based at Humboldt State University, the North Coast Science Integration Fellow will join a multi-disciplinary team of researchers engaged in the North Coast MPA Baseline Program (Baseline Program), as well as relevant partners, to facilitate the development of projects connecting across multiple ecosystems and data types, to deepen our understanding of ecological and socioeconomic conditions in the North Coast region. Duties may include:
- Analyzing and integrating data across multiple Baseline Program projects, and developing academic publications. Potential integration topics could include:exploring ecosystem connectivity, and integrating oceanographic data, socioeconomic, traditional ecological knowledge, and citizen science data across projects;
- Developing and facilitating workshops with Baseline Program collaborators to explore potential science integration topics and future collaborations;
- Developing communication and outreach materials to communicate results and findings from this integration work, with a wide variety of audiences;
- Sharing results with the North Coast community through presentations at community gatherings, MPA Collaborative meetings, and other potential venues; and
- Working to connect and support scientists, managers, and policy-makers to provide useful science for ocean management decisions.

Applications consist of a cv and a 1-2 page proposal (single space, 12 point font) for a reserve-based project that meet the aims of the ISEECI program (see pdf of flier). Specifically, the funded project has three aims, and your proposal must address at least one of them. You must also be willing to contribute to group-wide efforts that support one of these aims (above and beyond your research project).
The primary aims of the project are:
Aim 1: Assemble historical records in and around NRS sites to assess ecosystem-wide impacts of climate change, linking plant and animal studies among marine, aquatic and terrestrial realms.
Aim 2: Launch a new program of NRS sampling, monitoring, large-scale and long-term data management, and experiments to understand mechanisms by which climate drives ecological and evolutionary processes.
Aim 3: Link these data together with mechanistic models to predict changes to ecosystems and potential impacts to ecosystem services that threaten human adaptation to climate change.
Feedback among these three aims will catalyze new experiments to take critical measurements and test key mechanisms underlying our hypotheses and model predictions.

Children's Accidental Injuries
Children's accidental injuries are one of the major causes of death to children all over the world. In fact, millions of children die each year from unintentional injuries. Such injuries can be as common as cuts and burns to those severe injuries injuries sustained by a pedestrian vs. auto collision. Progress in many countries has been made due to manufacturers recall of products, including toys, that are deemed unsafe. Additionally, many governments have mandated the use of things safety items such as car seats, safety belts in vehicles and bicycle helmets for children.
But there are still large areas of danger, such as pool injuries that result in drowning, the accidental swallowing of household cleaning products, getting burned by being in contact with a hot stove or oven, or being shot accidentally by a loaded firearm. Parents need to be vigilant in protecting children to make sure the environment is safe.
Unintentional injuries are one of the major causes of death and debility in millions of kids who live in developing countries. The inherent dangers of the living places, heavy traffic and a lack of a safe place to play are leading causes of injury in developing countries. Lack of appropriate childcare is another risk factor for childhood injuries. There is little access to emergency services and many can't afford access to emergency services if it existed.
In these countries, attention is paid to nutritional problems and communicable disease. In this area, child mortality numbers are going down. However, death due to injury is seen as a less significant problem in developing countries. Therefore, there is little research and attention paid to the issue of childhood accidents in some lands. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to think of unintentional injuries as something that is unpreventable. There is an immediate need for more research to understand the nature of childhood injuries in developing countries.
A study was done in Japan on the issue of childhood morbidity and mortality due to accidental injuries. The study was done on 4500 children ages 0-18 years of age who attended a specific emergency room in 1990. The number of patients who had injuries unrelated to traffic accidents was 243. This number was twice the number of children involved in traffic injuries (131 injuries). (Children with relatively ordinary injuries like cuts or scrapes were excluded from the total number of accident patients.)
The most common accidental injury was ingestion or inhalation of a foreign body. Most foreign bodies were ingested into the Gl tract. A total of 42 kids suffered from bronchial foreign bodies. Peanuts were the number one cause of inhalation of foreign bodies. In fact peanuts and other food like peanuts were ingested into the bronchial tree more than 80 percent of the time.
There were 38 cases in which a child nearly drowned and was therefore admitted to the hospital. Among the 38 cases just mentioned, five of the children died. Three of them suffered severe neurological sequelae. Thirty kids survived without residual injury. Bathtubs at home were the most common site of near drowning in young children.
These statistics are listed for educational purposes. They illustrate the real dangers that exist in our homes and the need for adults, governments, and schools to take action that would prevent these injuries.
Nonetheless, from time to time, incidents occur that do result in an injury to a child. If a minor you know has been involved in an incident resulting in injury, feel free to contact this office, Edward A Smith Law Offices, for advice on how to handle such claims.

It's a very cute cupcake design. I almost thought it's a hamburger. I bet it's sweet so I just want to remind you, from the dental marketing solutions partners, to properly brush your teeth after eating sweets so you won't get cavities and toothaches.ReplyDelete

a few notes about recovering from birth - May 5, 2005—
Something that you don't really think about, much, during your pregnancy is how hard it might be to recover from the event you're so looking forward to. It's not easy. In fact, it's the hardest thing you've ever done. You see, birth is hard. But it's a focused hard. It has an end, a light at the end of the tunnel.
But recovery doesn't have a fixed end. It could be that you recover in a week. It could be that you recover in a month. Or it could be way, way longer.
It's a constant struggle, even if you're lucky (like me, mostly) and avoid the struggle with post-partum depression. It's not just craziness that brings on depression. It's something else...the disconnect between the dream and the reality, maybe. You're supposed to be euphoric, in love, endlessly enthralled with your babe. But even if this is true - even if you've managed to gain the connection - the way you feel just doesn't jive with your love.
As I type this, I'm thoroughly miserable. My belly itches all over from an allergic reaction to the surgical tape. The cold I contracted from my older son has me all stuffed up, my throat aches, and I cough so hard my head is pounding. I haven't slept more than two hours straight (it's probably closer to 30 minutes, in fact) in eight days and, though I try to nap, it's impossible. If I detach myself from Truman for a minute, he starts crying. He eats every hour, give or take, so I can't focus on anything for any extended period of time. I stink, as I'm still bleeding from childbirth. My incision twinges with sharp pains periodically. I can't walk more than 50 feet without breaking down from exhaustion. And I'm lucky - no vaginal tears thanks to the c-section. So I can sit without pain. Sort of.
I'm actually recovering well, I'm very fortunate. I have a strong body that knows how to bounce back from any injury. My muscle tone has been variously called "exquisite" and "amazing." I look great, if you discount the dull glaze over my eyes, and breastfeeding is going well. I really do love the little guy who sleeps so sweetly on my lap, in the sling, on my belly, in the crook of my arm. Always, on me.
I thank heavens for my attentive husband, my awesome doula/sister-in-law, and my great friends. I've got a lot of help and loving care. But, in the spirit of the blogosphere, I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know how you can help your friends, sisters, wives, colleagues in their recovery from birth. And let me tell you, while flowers are lovely (thanks Melissa! and Larissa! and my sweet hubby!), they're not much for keeping you from edging ever so closer to jumping off the cliff of out-of-control. What would help? How about:
Food, especially breakfast. It's impossible to sleep in much. I get up in the morning. I change diapers on both babes and move all my gear into the living room. And I'm done. I'm starving, but can't yet summon up the energy to make wholesome french toast. I sure would love it if someone would just show up at 9 (without judging my crazed look and the stench) with pastries, and Stumptown coffee.
Keeping out the chaos. I wish my husband could manage to keep his brothers and sister from choosing this week to engage in their typical chaos. I'd like to never see a cigarette, or a glass of wine, or a mess that my own child didn't make. I'd like to not get phone calls from creditors, or telemarketers. I'd like to totally control what's on TV. It's much better this babe than last (when my evil step-father-in-law came to stay with us on day five), but the chaos could be taken down a notch. And I just can't deal with any of it.
Doing my chores. I clean the bathroom. I'm very good at it and, with my husband doing the laundry and taking charge of the kitchen and cleaning the floors, I really can't complain. But there's absolutely no possibility I'll be scrubbing toilets over the next two weeks. It's not physically possible. And I desperately want the bathroom to be spotless because - remember how I said Truman doesn't like to be separated from me? He's accompanied me to the bathroom not a few times. I feel awful taking anyone up on their offer of help by saying, "please scrub my toilet and bathroom floor?" But I'm about to beg my mama for that very thing.
Always bring a present for big brother, too. Truman's getting lots of goodies. Everett's being wonderful about it. But my heart aches when I open a big box of generous gifts for the baby and find that Everett has no present just for him. He's received some nice gifts from thoughtful grandmas and aunts, and he melts.
Find a little something to do when you visit. My friends are fantastic about this. Of course, they're mostly mamas, too. They'll clean up some dishes, bring me a glass of water, play with Everett for a few minutes, hold Truman while I go to the bathroom, wipe up a mess. Little things mean a lot. Especially if mama doesn't have to ask.
Bring little gifties for mama, and tell her how great she looks. I can't tell you how wonderful it was that my friend Erica brought me delicious cinnamon rolls from Grand Central, and Hau brought me a box of amazing toffee. My ego gets pumped up every time my husband tells me how good I look (well, the comments about my porn-star breasts aren't much help, but whatever). These things mean a lot. Some ideas for gifts: sweet-smelling lotion or soap, sweet treats, a new domain (thanks Blogging Baby!), an order of notecards and help with birth announcements, photo paraphenalia (I like 'real' film, but your mama might like photo paper for the printer, or batteries for her digital camera), errands, babysitting the older child, a sling with a lesson on how to use it, a trashy novel to read while breastfeeding, tylenol, a crafty book (like a baby knitting book).
I'm off to bed, to sleep a little with all my pillows under my head so I don't cough too much. Oh...you should really check out Truman's pics, I put a bunch up this evening...
