The PNR has two upcoming webinars this month.  The first is PNR Partners which showcases our PNR funded recipients.  Thursday, November 12th at 1pm Pacific Time (noon Alaska Time, 2pm Mountain Time), we have Shelley Dougherty, Executive Director  for Oregon Pacific AHEC who will tell us about her project,  Environmental Health Connection for Rural Oregon Schools, that engaged middle school students in the world of scientific inquiry to create healthier communities and prepare them academically as they explored career options.  We also will have Jackie Wirz, Research Data Specialist at Oregon Health & Science University who will present information about the Pacific Research Data Symposium where researchers, students, and librarians shared their work in the world of data.

Do you have some ideas for programs or services in your library but aren’t quite sure how to implement them? This is a great time to ask questions about funded projects and to consider applying for funding from the NN/LM PNR to start your own projects for your communities. To join the webinar:

• Go to the following website and login as a Guest, using your own name: https://webmeeting.nih.gov/pnrpartners.
• Once in the web meeting a pop-up box allows you to put in your phone number and the program will call you. If this does not happen call the 800 number and use the participant code given in the Notes box (lower left-hand corner) on the screen.

And if you have been curious about the connection between human health and animal health you will want to attend the next PNR Rendezvous which is, Wednesday, November 18th at 1pm Pacific Time (noon Alaska Time, 2pm Mountain Time).  Suzanne Fricke, Animal Health Librarian and Vicki Croft, emeritus Animal Health Librarian both of Washington State University will be presenting on Searching for One Health.
