Are you interested in being a Big? This means being paired with an elementary schooler and going out to to the school once a week to help out with homework and hang out for an hour. The time commitment is only about an hour and a half a week (with drive time). If you don't have a car, it's no problem. We all car pool and if you do have a car then you get compensated for gas. The kids are great and this is an awesome program. For more information or an application, send your name, e-mail, physical address (Rice address), and DOB to knb1@rice.edu
Thanks,

Dr. Flor de Maria Muņoz-Rivas, who is part of the team conducting the H1N1 vaccine trials at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), will discuss the virus that has fast-forwarded flu season this year during a noon-hour lecture Friday, Sept. 11, in Duncan Hall's McMurtry Auditorium.
Muņoz-Rivas, an assistant professor in BCM's Department of Pediatrics/Section of Infectious Diseases and Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology, will provide insight both from a public health perspective and from a scientific and an academic perspective.
She was co-investigator of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study of the protocol for rapid response to novel H1N1 sample collection, and she's currently the site principal investigator for NIH studies of novel H1N1 and H1N2 influenza vaccines in pediatrics. She has also served as principal investigator for studies to improve influenza vaccine coverage in pregnant women.
Muņoz-Rivas has an M.D. from Francisco Marroquin University in Guatemala City. Following pediatrics internships at Roosevelt Hospital in Guatemala City and at BCM-affiliated teaching hospitals in Houston, Muņoz-Rivas did a pediatrics residency and fellowship at BCM.
Rice's Crisis Management Team scheduled the lecture for the benefit of faculty, staff and students.
