Report calls
for 'aggressive steps' in standards for trauma centers
San Diego Union-Tribune, Mar. 26 –
Large gaps in trauma care threaten doctors' ability to save
victims of violent injuries, especially in an era of heightened
terrorism concern, states a report today by University
of California, San Diego and other trauma experts.
"Until there are agreed-upon standards, people are left
to do the best they can," said Dr. David Hoyt,
chief of trauma at UCSD Medical Center and
one of the study's authors. He called for "more oversight,
at both the state and federal level."

Meet Your
Neighbor
La Jolla Light, Mar. 13 – When
Robert Conn, dean of the University of California, San
Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, announced his resignation
in February 2002, the UC bureaucracy initiated a year-long process
to recruit a permanent replacement. After months of hard work
as interim dean, Frieder Seible, a 20-year
veteran of the Jacobs School was selected to fill the dean's
position permanently. Seible will drop the "interim"
from his business cards, contingent upon a rubber-stamp approval
by the UC Board of Regents. (Mentions Larry Milstein,
professor of electrical engineering at UCSD
and quotes Shu Chien, chair of the bioengineering
department at UCSD).

Military,
political experts contemplate war with Iraq
La Jolla Light, Mar. 13 – War
with Iraq can do serious harm to the nation's economy as well
as Middle East-U.S. relations, but if it became the last remaining
option, the United States would prevail. This was the message
of political and military experts at a University of
California, San Diego forum March 7, entitled "War
in Iraq: Contemplating the Consequences." Michael
Bernstein, a history and economics professor at UCSD,
was one of the four speakers.
