Hope you are getting into the Olympic spirit! Opening ceremony begins Friday night at 7:30pm on NBC. Interesting tidbit: in China, the ceremony will begin at 8:08pm, 8/8/08. Eight happens to be a very lucky number in Chinese because it is a homonym for "good fortune."
We'll be having our weekly vittles at the Brown Bag Lunch on Wednesday at noon on the Oval. Come even if you haven't been able to join us yet this whole summer! Also on Saturday evening will be our Ultimate game (sadly, not yet an Olympic sport) at 6pm on the Lincoln turf fields.
In other news, Helene is out of the office this week, and Wednesday is Michael's last day as he is moving to Boston on Thursday. Suzanne will be at the URO during our office hours (8:30-3:30) this week.
Coming up next week:
Quiet Rage
Research Ethics Dinner, Film, and Discussion
Tuesday, August 12
5-7pm, 110B Page Hall
Please RSVP to uro@osu.edu
Come join us and the Office of Responsible Research Practices for an evening of pizza served up with a helping of controversy. Have you ever wondered why researchers have to be trained and fill out pesky applications for any research involving humans? Curious about how researchers are still running into ethical problems today?
Also mark your calendars for:
SURI Closing Ice Cream Celebration
