On Alabama Campuses: Neuroscience for dummies, food safety, social work awards
The federal Food and Drug Administration has chosen Auburn University to be a national food safety training center. Auburn will get $6.5 million in grants over five years to help standardize training for the thousands of food inspectors who work to monitor food supplies at restaurants, retailers and factories. Alabama A&M is also involved in Auburn’s Virtual Food Systems Training Consortium.
Sounds like an oxymoron, but a UAB professor has written a book called Neuroscience for Dummies, which is now available for sale on Amazon.com with delivery expected mid-December. Franklin Amthor is a professor in the psychology department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Four social workers were recently inducted into the Alabama Social Work Hall of Fame during a ceremony hosted by the University of Alabama Social Work Society. The 2011 inductees, all retired, are Dr. Susan G. Barfoot, Central Alabama Veterans Healthcare System; Dr. Raymond O. Sumrall, professor emeritus in the UA School of Social Work and former director of the Youth Services Institute; James E. Ware, Dallas County Department of Human Resources, and Dr. Shelley Wyckoff, Alabama A&M University.
