A Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis – We
Need Your Help for the "GREAT STRIDES" charity event, "A
Walk to Cure Cystic Fibrosis." The national society, the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation, has contacted me (Nicholas Wright) to organize
a local fund raising event – the "Great Strides walk for Cystic
Fibrosis". Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease, which affects
approximately 30,000 children and adults in the US. A defective gene
causes the body to produce abnormally thick mucus. This results in the
lungs, in particular, being unable to clean themselves properly and
therefore making the sufferer susceptible to life-threatening infections.
Currently there is no cure! We need your help to raise money to fund
research to find a cure for this debilitating condition. This is a non-competitive
walk/gentle "stroll" of around 10K/6mi. starting at the Greyhound
Arena car park on N.Ave."O" at 9 aa.m. on Saturday, April
26. We will walk about three miles out of town to the junction of "RSV
6" and "RSV U" and back. The idea is that you pick up
a sponsorship pamphlet from the biology department in Roosevelt Hall,
(Room 201). Then using any means at your disposal, (this can include
blackmail, extortion, etc!), obtain sponsors for your walk and collect
the monies in advance. On the day of the walk you should arrive between
8 and 9 a.m. in advance to register and hand over your sponsorship money.
Then we walk! Water will be available at the halfway point but as this
is a gentle walk, you can bring your own if you wish! Kids are welcome
but only if accompanied, and they cannot be "walkers"/sponsors
in their own right, only adults please! The same applies to WELL BEHAVED
pets! (on leads please – there may be traffic!). If you can collect
$100 then you will be entitled to a free Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
T-shirt; larger amounts can gain even better prizes! We hope to have
a City Official start us off at 9 a.m.! So please join us on the 26th.
More details can be obtained from me, Nick Wright: Office phone, 562.2543.
Home! phone, (leave message), 356.2363. Email: "nicholas.wright@enmu.edu"
THANKS!
Young Reseracher to Speak on the Spread of Disease –

Girvan, presently of the Santa Fe Institute, at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
April 16, in COB 117. Ms. Girvan is a young researcher who uses mathematical
models to investigate the effects of network structures on the behavior
of complex systems. A particular focus of her research involves the

Biology Student Wins Research Award at Texas Tech –
Muleshoe resident Stephanie Perez, a biology graduate student at ENMU,
presented a research paper at the Student Research Day conference at
Texas Tech University, Health Sciences Center, in Lubbock on March 28.
Perez received a first place award in the graduate students’ category
for her presentation of research, which studied the levels of bacterial
resistance to an antibiotic called tetracycline in agricultural water
environments.
Perez is one member of the project team composed of student and
faculty researchers at ENMU: Celsa Gallegos, Sabrina Mariner, Jonathan
Burgos, and Dr. Manuel Varela all collaborated on the research project.
Gallegos and Mariner are both undergraduate biology students at ENMU;
Burgos is a recently graduated master’s student at ENMU who has
been accepted into the Ph.D. programs at SUNY and Colorado State University.
Varela is an assistant professor of biology at ENMU.
The research team found that the proportion of tetracycline resistant
bacteria in agricultural water was higher than in soil, suggesting a
potential for dissemination of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the
environment. A mode of transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria
is thus suggested from soil to water and from water to humans.
Master's Defense – Bobbie Duell will
defend her Master's Thesis at the COB, Room 103, Monday, April 14, at
noon. The defense will be led by Dr. Janet Roehl.
