Malaria Web Summit and Summer Research Internships at Johns Hopkins

Advances in Malaria Research: In the Lab and the Field
Groundbreaking Science in the Fight Against One of the World's Deadliest Diseases

Thurs., November 12, 2009 at 12:30 pm EST

Each year more than 300 million malaria cases occur world-wide. Nearly one million people die of malaria every year, most of them are children. In Africa, malaria is responsible for one in five childhood deaths.

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) are on the cutting edge of world-class basic science and clinical research to treat and control malaria, develop a vaccine, and find new drug targets to prevent and cure this deadly disease.

During an interactive web summit, participants will hear the latest findings in the fight against malaria from top researchers at JHMRI and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. In addition, participants will be able to visit remotely the JHMRI insectary where mosquitoes are bred, raised and studied at the heart of the Institute's scientific operations in Baltimore, MD. Participants will virtually meet researchers who use NASA data to map the movement of deadly malaria carrying mosquitoes. They'll also hear from researchers based at the Macha study field site in Zambia, a living laboratory for mosquito and human behavior in malaria-stricken areas.

UMBC students are invited to participate in this Web Summit to learn more about Malaria research and may gain an edge in applying for Summer 2010 Research Internships with JHMRI. The Shriver Center will host a "large screen" viewing of the Webinar in Room 107 of the Public Policy Building. RSVP on UMBCworks.

Students may also register individually to participate in the Web Summit via their personal computer. Please visit: http://malaria.jhsph.edu/register/registration2009.html for more information.

Information about internship applications to JHMRI will be released by the Shriver Center by November 15, 2009.

Read below the break for more information on panelists for this exciting event and the work of JHMRI.

Financial Representative Internship with Northwestern Mutual

Interns with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network have the same opportunities to build their careers as full-time representatives. Supported by our network of specialists, training programs and mentoring opportunities, interns have access to the resources, products and assistance they need to help their clients and build their practices.

Like financial representatives, interns strive to understand their clients' goals and visions in order to uncover financial solutions that put them on a path to success. Network Representative interns are in business for themselves – but they're not alone.

The Northwestern Mutual internship program has been named “one of America’s Top Ten Internship for twelve consecutive years” by Vault Guide to Internships.

Northwestern Mutual was named one of “the 50 Best Companies to Sell For” in 2006 by Selling Power Magazine (November/December 2006).

Received the highest available ratings for financial strength from the four major rating agencies in 2005: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and A.M. Best.

Named “America’s Most Admired” company in its category for 24 years, according to a 2007 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Named “Most Admired” company in its category in the word, according to a 2006 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Earned the highest customer satisfaction score among U.S. life insurers in the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index survey in 2005.

Your local office provides tools, resources and training to help you discover and build your markets to develop a successful practice as a Network Representative intern. At Northwestern Mutual we believe training is a process, not an event. Can you envision a life of real world compensation, freedom and calling your own shots? Many college students cannot. The Northwestern Mutual internship is a valuable opportunity for students to combine classroom learning with a real-life look into what they could truly make of themselves.

Preferred qualifications: To be considered for the position, you must be a full-time student at a four year institution and have completed at least 2 years of college coursework. You must have strong interpersonal skills, be self-motivated and have a history of personal success.

habitable to any life form.

MDE wants you to help the Bay and its watershed by volunteering to reduce runoff pollution. This opportunity offers volunteers the chance to change how your government works for you, gives you insight into how a state enforcement agency operates, and allows volunteers to meaningfully help the Bay and its watershed.
