Science Camp '08

If you are sticking around for the summer, interested in GIS, and love kids we may have just what you're looking for. HSU is hosting a summer science camp, in collaboration with the USFS and the City of Arcata, in which one aspect will be working some basic GIS and GPS projects. The kids will be around 10 years of age and the camp will meet for three mondays in July:July 14, July 21, July 28.

There is a possibility that a stipend will be available for helping, otherwise it would be on a volunteer basis but a great opportunity. If interested please contact Dr. Steinberg @ sjs7001@humboldt.edu.

GIS in Health

HealthMap is an interesting website mapping out global diseases in the last 30 days. A unique concept for the health industry and a huge endeavor at that. The sources are apparently quite comprehensive and of variable reliability and ranging from Google News to the World Health Organization. The website was established by Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology.
