That's right, 80 of Grady's most enthusiastic and bright-eyed young scholars are coming Georgia Tech to learn about BME/BioE research from YOU!<br /><br />We'll need several volunteers to give tours of their lab between 10AM and 12:30PM on May 1st. We'll be organizing two shifts so please indicate in your email response whether you're available to work the first shift (10-11:15AM), the second shift (11:15AM-12:30PM), either, or both (you saint, you). Each shift will involve taking three different groups of 10-ish students through a whirlwind visit of your laboratory setting.<br /><br />If you're interested in helping, please email Ashley Allen (<a href="mailto:aallen37@gatech.edu">aallen37@gatech.edu</a>).</p>]]></body>  <author>Ashley Allen</author>  <status>1</status>  <created>1332318663</created>  <gmt_created>2012-03-21 08:31:03</gmt_created>  <changed>1475891909</changed>  <gmt_changed>2016-10-08 01:58:29</gmt_changed>  <promote>0</promote>  <sticky>0</sticky>  <teaser><![CDATA[Georgia Tech is hosting 80 Grady HS students!]]></teaser>  <type>event</type>  <sentence><![CDATA[Georgia Tech is hosting 80 Grady HS students!]]></sentence>  <summary><![CDATA[]]></summary>  <start>2012-05-01T15:00:00-04:00</start>  <end>2012-05-01T17:30:00-04:00</end>  <end_last>2012-05-01T17:30:00-04:00</end_last>  <gmt_start>2012-05-01 19:00:00</gmt_start>  <gmt_end>2012-05-01 21:30:00</gmt_end>  <gmt_end_last>2012-05-01 21:30:00</gmt_end_last>  <times>    <item>      <value>2012-05-01T15:00:00-04:00</value>      <value2>2012-05-01T17:30:00-04:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </times>  <gmt_times>    <item>      <value>2012-05-01 03:00:00</value>      <value2>2012-05-01 05:30:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </gmt_times>  <phone><![CDATA[]]></phone>  <url><![CDATA[]]></url>  <location_url>    <url><![CDATA[]]></url>    <title><![CDATA[]]></title>  </location_url>  <email><![CDATA[]]></email>  <contact><![CDATA[<p>Ashley Allen (<a href="mailto:aallen37@gatech.edu">aallen37@gatech.edu</a>)</p>]]></contact>  <fee><![CDATA[]]></fee>  <extras>      </extras>  <location><![CDATA[]]></location>  <media>      </media>  <hg_media>      </hg_media>  <boilerplate></boilerplate>  <boilerplate_text><![CDATA[]]></boilerplate_text>  <sidebar><![CDATA[]]></sidebar>  <related>          <link>        <url><![CDATA[http://bbugs.gatech.edu/education-and-outreach]]></url>        <title><![CDATA[BBUGS committee website]]></title>      </link>      </related>  <files>      </files>  <groups>          <group id="69452"><![CDATA[BBUGS]]></group>      </groups>  <categories>      </categories>  <event_terms>      </event_terms>  <event_audience>      </event_audience>  <keywords>          <keyword tid="4943"><![CDATA[BBUGS]]></keyword>          <keyword tid="15202"><![CDATA[BBUGS EDUCATION]]></keyword>      </keywords>  <userdata>      <![CDATA[]]>  </userdata></node><node id="116361">  <title><![CDATA[Techniques Symposium 2012]]></title>  <uid>27539</uid>  <body><![CDATA[<p>This annual 3-day scientific training event is aimed at offering seminars and hands-on workshops on laboratory techniques, software analysis and scientific communication for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in bioengineering and bioscience research fields.

Heart attacks, which affect more than 1 million Americans a year, can cause congenital heart failure, where the heart muscle is damaged and can no longer effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. Endothelial protenitor cells, or EPCs, are cells that have been shown to aid in new blood vessel formation after injury. This study looks into the effect of treating damaged heart tissue with EPCs, with the hopes that these cells facilitate development of new blood vessels that may aid in repair of the heart muscle.</p>]]></body>  <author>Colly Mitchell</author>  <status>1</status>  <created>1303202582</created>  <gmt_created>2011-04-19 08:43:02</gmt_created>  <changed>1475891690</changed>  <gmt_changed>2016-10-08 01:54:50</gmt_changed>  <promote>0</promote>  <sticky>0</sticky>  <teaser><![CDATA[Arshed Quyyumi, MD, FRCP - Department of Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine]]></teaser>  <type>event</type>  <sentence><![CDATA[Arshed Quyyumi, MD, FRCP - Department of Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine]]></sentence>  <summary><![CDATA[<p>BBUGS Conversations with Clinicians Seminar</p><p>"Heart and Vascular Disease: Translation of Biological Advances to the Clinic"</p><p>Arshed Quyyumi, MD, FRCP - Department of Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine</p>]]></summary>  <start>2011-04-25T12:00:00-04:00</start>  <end>2011-04-25T13:00:00-04:00</end>  <end_last>2011-04-25T13:00:00-04:00</end_last>  <gmt_start>2011-04-25 16:00:00</gmt_start>  <gmt_end>2011-04-25 17:00:00</gmt_end>  <gmt_end_last>2011-04-25 17:00:00</gmt_end_last>  <times>    <item>      <value>2011-04-25T12:00:00-04:00</value>      <value2>2011-04-25T13:00:00-04:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </times>  <gmt_times>    <item>      <value>2011-04-25 12:00:00</value>      <value2>2011-04-25 01:00:00</value2>      <rrule><![CDATA[  ]]></rrule>      <timezone>America/New_York</timezone>      <timezone_db>America/New_York</timezone_db>      <date_type>datetime</date_type>    </item>  </gmt_times>  <phone><![CDATA[]]></phone>  <url><![CDATA[http://www.bme.gatech.edu]]></url>  <location_url>    <url><![CDATA[http://www.bme.gatech.edu]]></url>    <title><![CDATA[]]></title>  </location_url>  <email><![CDATA[a.li@gatech.edu]]></email>  <contact><![CDATA[<p>Alice Li</p>]]></contact>  <fee><![CDATA[]]></fee>  <extras>      </extras>  <location><![CDATA[]]></location>  <media>      </media>  <hg_media>      </hg_media>  <boilerplate></boilerplate>  <boilerplate_text><![CDATA[]]></boilerplate_text>  <sidebar><![CDATA[]]></sidebar>  <related>      </related>  <files>      </files>  <groups>          <group id="1292"><![CDATA[Parker H.
