More than 600 million years of life on Earth are traced through fossils\, models and dioramas. The Michigan Wildlife Gallery has a large collection of native Great Lakes birds\, mammals\, reptiles\, and amphibians\, with taxidermy mounts\, habitat scenes\, and the largest mastodon trackway on display in the world. There are also displays about some of the environmental problems faced in this region today. The Anthropology Displays feature artifacts from human cultures around the world. The Geology Displays on the fourth floor offer a large selection of rocks\, minerals and gems. These displays are updated periodically. For more information go to www.lsa.umich.edu/exhibitmuseum/exhibits/permexhibits or call 734-764-0480.

Created to provide outdoor leaders\, guides\, and rangers with the knowledge necessary to deal with crises in remote settings\, this 80 hour certification course meets Department of Transportation National Standards for First Responder with additional protocols for extended-care situations. The intensive 80 hour curriculum takes place over nine days. To optimize learning potential class sessions are complimented with a variety of mock scenarios and simulations. The program is fast-paced and both intellectually and physically demanding.\n\nTo register call 734-764-3967 today!

The collection includes: a 2250- year-old papyrus document from ancient Philadelphia\, reporting the loss of a donkey\; a 400-year-old manuscript by Galileo\, in which he explains the usefulness of the telescope\; and the first book purchased by the Board of Regents\, \"The Birds of America\,\" published in 1838\, with original drawings by John James Audubon. \n\nHours: Mon-Fri 8:30am-7pm\, Sat 10am-6pm\, Sun 1-7pm.

The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

The African Studies Center would like to invite you to the upcoming conference SCIENCE ENVIRONMENTS IN AFRICA scheduled from May 6-8\, 2010. The conference brings together participants from a wide array of Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Math disciplines to share ideas and map out possible strategies for topics including engineering\, natural resource management\, climate change\, environmental justice\, research on chronic disease\, information technology\, mathematical sciences\, and funding environments for scientific research in Africa. We recognize that there is much more activity at University of Michigan on science related topics in Africa then could be captured in one conference and we hope this gathering will serve as a starting point for future collaboration and discussion. Below are details on the two key note speakers for the conference. The complete program can found on the African Studies Center website under the event listing http://www.lsa.umich.edu/asc UID:430-911590@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/430 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:multicultural LOCATION:Dana Natural Resources Building - Rooms 1040 and 2024 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20101111T175634 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100508T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preservation Clinic DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to this walk-in Preservation Clinic for one-on-one consultations with University of Michigan Library experts about preserving books\, papers\, photographs\, sound recordings\, and digital photos and files\, as well as scanning for preservation. \n\nBring your questions and/or a few of your personal treasures to discuss and get information about care\, storage\, copying\, display\, and repair.
