Communities are invited to use the data to develop programs and write grants that support healthy living in the community. Schools can use the data to conduct scientific inquiry lessons with their students, thereby allowing students to examine information like their own energy drink consumption use real, but completely anonymous, data.

Let's Get Healthy! (originally titled Nutrition World) was created by OCTRI Community & Practice Research (CPR) program team member Jackie Shannon and others. The exhibit debuted at OMSI in summer 2007 and was hugely popular. Over 3,000 individuals lined up to participate over the week and a half of the exhibit.

Special Event: The Body Toxic Webinar

Body Toxic Cover

In honor of earth month, we are pleased to announce a very special Webinar opportunity featuring local talent Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic: How the Hazardous Chemicals of Everyday Things Transform our Health and Wellbeing. Join us in an earth-friendly transportation free gathering using your own phone and computer.
The Body Toxic: What Consumers Should Know About the Hazardous Chemistry of Everyday Things

The webinar will detail the health risks posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals and provides you with practical and specific means to limit your unwitting exposures to the hazardous chemicals found in everyday things.

Investigative journalist Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic, discusses the concept of “chemical body burden” and details how consumers can protect themselves against health threats posed by chemicals found in everyday items. These include perfluorinated compounds in non-stick cookware and food packaging, phthalates in plastic, flame retardants in electronics and furniture, and the now-infamous bisphenol A in polycarbonate bottles and the linings of food and beverage cans.

Marquam Hill Lecture - Repairing the liver: Prospects for cell therapy as an alternative to organ transplantation

OHSU Auditorium
3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road
Portland, OR 97239
Thursday, April 22, 2010, 7:30 – 9pm

Stem cells are “generic” cells that can produce exact copies and develop into specialized cells for organs and tissues, such as heart muscle or brain tissue. Stem cell research has long-term potential for development of treatments that affect disease on a cellular level, and holds promise for such diseases as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and Parkinson’s Disease. Part of Dr. Grompe’s research focuses on the development of cell therapy in the field of organ transplantation. While a limited supply of donated organs is currently the only viable option for patients awaiting transplantation, much effort is being directed towards using pluripotent stem cell therapy to repair damaged liver tissue. Dr. Grompe will discuss these and other issues in the final lecture of the 2009-2010 season. Dr. Grompe is currently a Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Molecular & Medical Genetics and Director of the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

Communities are invited to use the data to develop programs and write grants that support healthy living in the community. Schools can use the data to conduct scientific inquiry lessons with their students, thereby allowing students to examine information like their own energy drink consumption use real, but completely anonymous, data.
