HIV as a chronic disease
HIV is now being re-conceptualized as a chronic and manageable inflammatory disease. Dr. Julio Montaner, President of the International AIDS Society, will be at SFU’s Burnaby campus on Friday, March 6, to talk about how HIV is now being viewed and treated. His talk will be in rm 9660 Blusson Hall, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Meanwhile SFU health sciences professor Robert Hogg is heading Canada’s first HIV/AIDS antiretroviral research network, and can talk about research plans to study the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS treatment.

Spring forward
Get ready to set the clocks ahead one hour on Sunday, March 8, daylight savings time. SFU mathematics professor emeritus Len Berggren, an expert on time and its history, can talk about why we have this tradition. He is in the process of completing a model of one of the oldest sundials known, the ancient Greek hemicyclium. He says it’s nothing too fancy but “it too is set up to record either daylight savings time or standard time - something the Greeks did not have to worry about.”
