September WMIG Meeting

Everyone is invited to WMIG's next meeting on September 21st at noon in MN-363.

Faculty Co-sponsor, Dr. Greg Davis, will be speaking to us about altitude sickness, high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). So before you go to the high places on holiday breaks from classes, learn what subtleties can alert you to altitude-related sickness! Check out this link from a British Expedition Medicine website describing these conditions.

Also, we will be holding elections for 2009 - 2010 officers at this meeting. You need to be a member (dues $15) to vote, and please email Stacey Gutman (slgutm2@uky.edu) before Wednesday (Sept. 16th) if you plan to run.

Lunch will be provided at the meeting, but you may want to bring a drink. Please email Stacey to RSVP before Friday (Sept. 18th) if you plan to attend the meeting. Hope to see you there!
