Title: “Essential New Voices for Research: YOU!”

Speaker: Mary Woolley, President of Reseach! America

Date: April 16th, 2009

Location: Veale Convocation Center on the campus of Case Western Reserve University

Description: Woolley shares with the Research ShowCASE audience how the $10.4 billion earmarked in the federal budget for investment in health research and basic sciences is an encouraging sign for the research community. “Now it is incumbent on the science community, particularly early-career scientists, to make it clear to elected representatives and taxpayers just how this support and future strong research funding helps advance our economy and improve our health and our quality of life,” Woolley said.

Research ShowCASE is the University’s annual event that brings together hundreds of researchers, scientists and scholars for a day of collaboration, creativity and innovation.

Woolley has a 30-year editorial and publication history on science advocacy and research topics. Her op-eds and letters to the editor have been published in newspapers and magazines around the country, including Science, Nature, Issues in Science and Technology, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of the American Medical Association and The Scientist. She is a sought-after speaker and is frequently interviewed by science, news and policy journalists.

For her work on behalf of medical research, she has been honored as a Woman of Vision by the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science and is a recipient of the Distinguished Contribution to Research Administration Award from the Society for Research Administrators.

In her early career, Woolley served as San Francisco project director for the then largest-ever NIH-funded clinical trial, the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial. She also served as administrator of the Medical Research Institute of San Francisco before being named the institute’s executive director and CEO.

Woolley has been the president and CEO of Research!America since 1990. Under her leadership, the organization’s membership has more than quadrupled as it has earned the attention and respect of research, media and community leaders with its signature public opinion surveys and advocacy resource materials.

Operation Hoodie is a unique charity appeal aiming at raising awareness and essential funds for Cancer Research UK. The charity was formed in November, 2007, and was inspired by the loss of a talented young cricketer, Lee Doughty to Cancer at the age of just 24. Operation Hoodie raises essential funds through the selling of its especially designed Cancer Research UK Hoodies, with each sale generating £6.50 for Cancer Research UK. To encourage the promotion of its product, Operation Hoodie encourages active involvement from the supporting public by encouraging all “hoodie-related” pictures to be sent to the charity for publication on its website (www.operationhoodie.co.uk).

Presented at UIST (ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology) http://www.acm.org/uist/

PAPER ABSTRACT:
In this paper we present novel input devices that combine the standard capabilities of a computer mouse with multitouch sensing. Our goal is to enrich traditional pointerbased desktop interactions with touch and gestures. To chart the design space, we present five different multitouch mouse implementations. Each explores a different touch sensing strategy, which leads to differing formfactors and hence interactive possibilities. In addition to the detailed description of hardware and software implementations of our prototypes, we discuss the relative strengths, limitations and affordances of these novel input devices as informed by the results of a preliminary user study.
