International Centre for Environmental Management:
Promoting Climate Resilient Rural Infrastructure in the Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
Donor / Partner: Asian Development Bank (ADB) | Duration: 2013-2016 | Location: The Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
About: The objective of the project in northern Vietnam to demonstrate effective bio-engineered solutions which, where possible, provide ‘win-win’ outcomes for resilience of rural infrastructure to climate risk and opportunities for community livelihood enhancement.
The project focuses on rural irrigation, slope stability for roads, river-bank protection, and flood protection works. Lessons learned from the project works will provide the basis for capacity building activities with local community members, contractors and government staff at local, provincial and national levels. The extension of this work is to make recommendations for the broader adoption of bio-engineered approaches as an effective solution to manage climate risk in Vietnam. The project will also raise awareness of climate risks and vulnerabilities in local communities and empower them with the capability to manage risk through practical, cost effective solutions which can be implemented with local resources.
Professor Rui L. Reis was chosen as the 2017 recipient of the IET Harvey Engineering Research Prize for his outstanding contributions to research in the field of Medical Engineering, specifically for contributions to bioengineering, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and biomaterials.
He presented a prize lecture on 20 March 2018, discussing his research and how the prize funding will be used to further it.

Former dean of the Cockrell School of Engineering John J. McKetta chats with Department of BIomedical Engineering Chair Nicholas Peppas about the early days of biomedical engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Interview took place at McKetta's Westminster Manor residence in Austin, Texas on June 26. 2014.
Artist and mathematician Robert B. LISEK presents his recent bioengineering software projects SPECTRUM and CAPITAL, exploring the relationship between bio-molecular technology, code and issues arising from network technologies by combining his DNA code with codes of viruses and recently by testing influence of radioactive materials on biological entities.

Here's the poster for October's Science Cafe. Again, many fans of AstronomyCalgary enjoy these events. This month:
Bioengineering: The XX Factor
How does gender affect the health, injury and treatment of bones and joints?
Why does this matter? Or does it? Two leaders in the field of biomedical engineering research discuss ways in which gender should or should not be taken into consideration. In a lively and informal Science Café, they invite the audience to weigh in on these controversial topics.
Speakers:
Dr. Carolyn Anglin
Alberta Ingenuity New Faculty
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering
and Centre for Bioengineering Research and Education
Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary
Dr. Janet Ronsky
Professor, Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering
Schulich School of Engineering
Co-Director, Biomedical Engineering Centre
Adjunct Assistant Professor, Faculty of Kinesiology
University of Calgary

Our October Science Café at the Ironwood Stage and Grill featured the topic of Bioengineering: The XX Factor, with Dr. Carolyn Anglin (right) and Dr. Janet Ronsky (middle) of the Schulich School of Engineering, with Dr. Gail Thornton (left) of Schulich as the MC for the evening. The house was nealry full for the discussion of how gender affects the treatment of bones and joints. The Q&A session brought out lots of great questions for nearly an hour of discussion.
