OSRAA OFFICE HOURS

OSRAA will be starting an office hours program next week.  You can go to OSRAA’s homepage and see the schedule.  Our website link is here. Although our office hours will be on Tuesdays, we intentionally designed the schedule to have morning and afternoon timeslots. This doesn’t mean that we’re only available for questions during office hours, but we hope it will give an opportunity for someone to drop in or call if they have a question.We’ll also be sharing the information with the Pre-Award Support staff in your respective colleges. Please let Pat Hawk know if you have any questions or feedback.

 

MARINE RESERVES PROGRAM (RO SCIENTIFIC DIVING) YEAR IN REVIEW

The RO Scientific Diving program provides training specific to marine reserves data collection, and about half the survey divers are from OSU…check out the highlights of their year in the video below!

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Jen Akeroyd of Julvia Technologies (an Accelerator graduate and a UVDF recipient) won the TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) Pitch Fest yesterday (Thursday, Dec. 7). She not only won the Seed Stage category but she won the whole competition as well. She also received a surprise $50k investment from Elevate Capital at the end. Jen and her partner Bill have created a new device that assists in the suturing of wounds. It allows sutures to remain in the skin for three times longer than normal which means a much stronger and healed wound (less chance of it re-opening) and it can eliminate deep sutures and significantly reduces the number of total sutures used in an operation. Beyond working with the Accelerator, Julvia Technologies worked with Vet Med on a pig study to demonstrate product efficacy and OSU is involved in Julvia’s human trials coming up after the first of the year.
