FW: Open letter to premier
by outreach＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, I'm sure you have all heard on the news about the open letter that was sent to the premier by a group of physicians regarding the province's COVID-19 response. I received a notice yesterday that they are seeking more signatures from researchers and academics. If you are interested, the information for signing the letter is provided below. With all best wishes to you and your families, Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience … [View More]Network Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science University of Manitoba _____ From: MB doctors group outgoing < <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing(a)gmail.com> Sent: November 5, 2020 11:07 AM To: <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com Subject: Open letter to premier Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Dear Colleagues, Thank you for signing the letter of concern to Premier Brian Pallister. We have attached the initial letter with 202 signatures for your records. It is heartening to see so many physicians, researchers, and other members of the healthcare community coming together to advocate for the citizens of Manitoba. Since it was sent on November 1, the letter has helped to raise awareness of the crisis our healthcare system is facing and to stimulate discussion amongst the public and politicians. Our sincere hope is not simply that the letter will attract attention, but that it will be a catalyst for increased strategic investments in the resources that are urgently needed to respond to the COVID pandemic and to save lives. There were 202 signatories on the letter submitted to Premier Pallister Sunday evening. We have subsequently heard from more than 150 individuals who have also signed the letter. We would like everyone to have the opportunity for their voice to be heard and counted. To that end, we plan to resubmit a letter to Premier Pallister with the updated names. If you have contacted us to sign on but do not see your name on the letter attached here, do not worry, if you are receiving this email from <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing(a)gmail.com, you have been counted. Anyone who is interested in signing the letter and has not yet done so can send an email to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com.The email should clearly state your name, advanced degree(s), field of expertise, and email address, as well as your desire to be added to the letter. e.g.: Jane Smith, PhD Community Health Sciences <mailto:janesmith@umanitoba.ca> janesmith(a)umanitoba.ca I would like to be added to the list of signatories on the letter of concern to Brian Pallister. Please note that we will not be including professional affiliations, as we are asking people to sign on their own behalf, not as representatives of their employers. The response to this letter has been overwhelming. We have received multiple requests from the media for doctors to share their stories and their concerns. This letter represents the voice of a diverse group of physicians and academics. We all have unique expertise and experiences that deserve a voice. Please respond to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com if you would be willing to share your experiences for any media requests (we would not give out your name/contact to the media but would approach you as opportunities arise). Multiple voices add strength to our message as we advocate for our patients and all Manitobans. We realize some of you may be receiving this email communication more than once. We are just figuring out the most effective process for communication and are grateful for all of your support. [View Less]

See pre-requisites below. PHGY 7310 Principles of Electronics for Life Sciences September 11 - December 18, 2020 Course description: This course will review and discuss basic concepts related to physics and electronics. Moreover, the course will explore applications of electronics principles for use in the understanding of neural activity. Concepts such as electrical stimulation, field potentials, recording methods, analog to digital conversion and acquisition of signals and some methods based on electrically charged dyes used in animal research as well as the basis of electrophysiological techniques used in human research will be covered. Performance in this course will be based on quizzes, exams, on-line discussion participation, and also based on a small, self-directed research component. Students in the course will be asked to survey methods and fundamental principles in relation to an electrophysiological method of their choice (and approved by the instructor) e.g. related to research techniques used for their thesis work, or clinical work or own interest. Participation in on-line (pre-recorded lectures) is flexible and some group discussions will be scheduled based on the availability of all enrolled students. Prerequisites: A basic course in biology and/or physics or the consent of the course co-ordinator(s). Format: Each session will consist of on-line lectures & discussions with mandatory student participation in the online discussions. The students will be informed about the topics prior to the lectures. PHGY 7320 Instrumentation for Electrophysiology January 22 - April 21, 2021 Course description: This course will focus on in-depth and hands-on examination of electrophysiological research methods. Theoretical considerations, current best-practice guidelines and new/developing research directions will be addressed in relation to brain and nerve stimulation and recording of neural activity in humans. Hands-on training in methods, such as electrical and magnetic stimulation of the central nervous system; surface electromyography, and general nerve conduction testing methods. This course was designed to follow the Principles of Electronics for Life Sciences-I (PHYG 7310) course. Graduate students and residents within all disciplines that have an interest in the understanding better the techniques used by electrophysiologists will be able to benefit from this course. This course is based on participation in on-line lectures (some pre-recorded) and also on-line discussions as well as hands-on lab sessions. The final grade will be a composite of exams, lab exercises, and a short self-directed research proposal on a selected topic (with the instructor's approval). Prerequisites: Passing grade in PHGY7310 Principles of Electronics for Life Sciences, or consent of the course co-ordinator(s). Format: Each session will consist of on-line lecture & discussions and mandatory student participation in labs for hands-on training (to be confirmed). The students will be informed about the topics prior to the lectures.
