The importance of instruction provided across SULAIR was on the most recent Asilomar agenda. An outcome of that meeting was to hold an Instruction Summit this summer. Peter Blank and Malgorzata Schaefer will share what they presented at Asilomar and their thoughts for the Instruction Summit, to get your feedback on how we should structure the event. Please bring your calendars so we can discuss possible dates for the summit.
If you are providing any type of instruction, or would like to begin, please attend. All are welcome.
Make a difference! Get ready to bike or walk to work on Thursday, May 13, as we celebrate the greenest ways to commute. By bicycling (or walking) instead of driving five miles a day, you could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,287 pounds annually. According to Bikes Belong, the energy savings is equivalent to replacing 13 incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs or flying 2,429 fewer miles a year. Try our commute calculator to find the cost and emissions savings for your own commute: http://transportation.stanford.edu/cost.
On Bike to Work Day, stop by one of Stanford’s eight Energizer Stations between 6:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., where you can take a break and pick up a re-usable bag and snacks while supplies last.
We’re seeking volunteers to help meet and greet riders at our energizer stations. Send an email to bike-information@stanford.edu if you can help during one of these two shifts: 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Gary Reback will speak on The Long Tale of Deceit, Collusion and Greed; Antitrust Analysis of the Google Book Settlement, on Thursday, April 29, 12:45pm, Robert Crown Law Library, 2nd Floor Reference Lounge.
