Abstract:
The American veterinary education system is very different from Taiwan's. In the US, the graduate-level professional school goes along with a comprehensive post-graduate training includes internship, residency, and specialty boards. Moreover, research is often considered as an essential component of clinical training. As a Taiwanese veterinarian who pursues PhD and clinical pathology training in the US, I will share some fun facts about the American veterinary education as well as my PhD study: "urine, serum, and kidney miRNA and gene expression characterization in dogs with chronic kidney diseases".

Do you know that American veterinary students are 90% female? How could Taiwanese veterinarians practice in the US? Are there "specialty doctors" in veterinary medicine as well? Find the answers in my talk!

Speaker:
吳欣玫 (Sin-Mei Wu)

Time:

04/15 (Sun.) 8 am Taiwan

Abstract:
Old Faithful geyser has been the iconic hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone over a century since the National Park was founded in 1872. The spectacular eruption with water ejected over 30 m from the surface and the intrigued periodic eruptions attract millions of tourists per year to Yellowstone.

In this presentation, I will introduce the applications of seismology in order to understand the nature of Old Faithful geyser system. The focus of the presentation will be 1) how we can utilize the seismic signals to study the geyser system, 2) what has been done before, and 3) what can we do to reach further understanding of Old Faithful geyser in the future.
