H1N1 preparedness at SFU
Getting orientated at SFU
Blurring the lines between art and science
H1N1 preparedness at SFU
Apollonia Cifarelli is director of SFU’s environmental health & safety program. She can explain how SFU is working with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and Emergency Management B.C. to ensure that all information on the H1N1 flu epidemic comes from one credible source in this kind of situation.

Getting orientated at SFU
Students at SFU Orientation will engage in an array of action and information packed activities at the SFU Burnaby and Surrey campuses, Sept. 1-6. The festivities are aimed as much at treating them to a good time as giving them a jumpstart on their academic career. Student and faculty led tours, group sessions with mentors and mass drumming and ice-breaker events featuring the Vancouver 2010 mascots are samples of what is to come. Liesl Jurock, manager of student life and development, can talk about the lineup of orientation events that is attracting a record number of new and returning students to SFU Burnaby and Surrey Sept. 1-6.

Blurring the lines between art and science
Take Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, add the creativity of Steve DiPaola and blend the two in a computer, and you have a project called Evolving Darwin’s Gaze. Di Paola, an associate professor at SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology, is one of Canada’s leading experts in computer-mediated creativity. He can demonstrate how he has used a gene set of program code to evolve unique expressions of the gaze of Darwin’s face in John Collier’s 1883 portrait of the evolutionary pioneer. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Museum and Cambridge University have featured this project.
