• Thursday Forum - CRISPR Technology and the Brave New World of Genetic Engineering

  <p>Popular media is abuzz with news stories and catchy headlines about CRISPR technology—variously proclaiming it as a cure for cancer, blindness, or blood disorders, a concerning technology that can create genetically modified babies, or a powerful way to adapt the foods we grow and eat. &nbsp;But what is CRISPR and how does it work? &nbsp;In this two-week forum, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biology Patricia Storlie will take you behind the hype in order to understand and be more informed about this exciting breakthrough and new biotechnology tool. &nbsp;The forum will begin with the basics, explaining the history of CRISPR and what the technology involves. &nbsp;It will go on to examine how CRISPR is revolutionizing science and medicine—in basic research and in groundbreaking trials as a therapy for human disease or a tool to control insect populations and invasive plant species. &nbsp;All throughout, we will consider the oversight and safeguards (or lack thereof) that are in place as we enter the brave new world of genetic engineering at full speed.</p> 2020-01-23 11:30:00 -0600

• Growlers: Reactive Dog Obedience

  <p>This obedience class is smaller in size and designed for dogs that are aggressive both on and off leash. If you feel your dog is aggressive, overanxious, hard to handle in most situations, has bitten or may bite, then this is the obedience class for you. If you feel your dog meets the above criteria, then successful completion of this course is required before taking Dog Obedience I. This course sets up scenarios for owners to learn how to handle situations in which their dog may be reactive. &nbsp;Not all dogs will finish this course and be 'cured' of their reactivity, and the course is mostly focused on teaching owners/handlers how to handle certain situations that may arise with their pets. Students should bring vaccination records on the first night of class. &nbsp;Please do not bring your dog to the first class.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Registration is required prior to the class start date. If you have questions or would like to register, please visit <a href="http://www.kirkwood.edu/ce">www.kirkwood.edu/ce</a> or contact 319-398-1022.</li></ul><p><br></p> 2019-12-11 20:45:00 -0600

• Walking in Mindfulness Silent Meditative Walk

  <p>Begin your weekend in communal solitude during a silent meditative walk with Andrew from Walking Space. Being in the silent presence of another person can shift your relationship to a more conscious and present moment, especially when drawing upon the serenity of nature. Participants will have the option to quietly greet others at arrival and after a brief introduction Andrew will lead a silent meditative walk. While the walk itself is silent, participants are welcome to stay after to socialize. Because of the nature of this walk, music in earbuds, cell phones, and dogs are not allowed. Children are welcome so long as they abide by the concept of walking in silence. Pre-registration required. M $4; NM $6; children under 12 are free.</p> 2020-01-11 15:00:00 -0600
