<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Science Friday Minutes - 2005-09-23<br /> <br /> Present: JohnI, LoriW, PeterB, MarkS, CharlieP<br /> <br /> Summer Research People<br /> * JohnI - 6 weeks for JohnI, 6 weeks for two students<br /> * LeslieB - 4 weeks for LeslieB, 4 weeks for 2-3 students<br /> * BrentS - nothing<br /> * BillH - nothing <br /> * PeterB - only if NIH is funded, in which case he will have funds, 3 students<br /> * CharlieP - hopefully on sabbatical<br /> * JimR - unknown<br /> * MarkS - 4 weeks for MarkS, 4 weeks for 2 students<br /> * LoriW - F/K during May Term, 0 weeks for LoriW, 4 weeks for 2 students (Dreyfus grant)<br /> * MikeD - 8 weeks for 2 students<br /> * CorinneD - 4 weeks for CorinneD, 4 weeks for two students<br /> * Geoscience?<br /> * Physics? <br /> * Mathematics?<br /> * We need to track Ford/Knight support (students and faculty) as well. <br /> <br /> Equipment<br /> * Start-up funds for new hire in Biology (anatomy/physiology)<br /> * Start-up funds for new hire in Chemistry (organic/biochemist)<br /> * Need to know about these by November 1st or so<br /> * Talk to departments at Science Division lunch to identify equipment needs<br /> <br /> Facilities - Questions for Science Division<br /> * 1) What does interdisciplinary mean to the sciences at Earlham? What spaces can we share? Think outside the box, 10-15 years from now.<br /> * 2) Environmental Science, what does it mean to us and how should it manifest itself in new facilities?<br /> * 3) Retired and emeriti office space. Maybe carrels in the science library? Larry Strong model, part-time retired model, other models? Sabbatical replacement office space.<br /> * 4) Collection space (mostly a Geosciences and Biology question)<br /> * 5) Adjacency <br /> * 6) Computer labs, centralized and de-centralized. <br /> * 7) What should the library do for the science division?<br /> * 8) What&#039;s wrong with our current large lecture spaces? What&#039;s right with them?<br /> * 9) Planetarium. How many institutions like Earlham offer astronomy? A planetarium? If it existed could it be used as a large lecture space for other sciences?<br /> * 10) What major scientific equipment is coming down the road?<br /> * 11) Wood and metal shops.<br /> <br /> Next Week<br /> * More of the same.</div>
