2013 Governor’s Conference on Public Health (4/9/2013)

I recently presented my poster on sleep
and obesity at the Iowa Governor’s Conference on Public Health and it was a
great learning experience. This was my
first poster presentation general session and lightning round and it was a lot
less intimidating than it seemed at first.
The general audience asked really interesting questions and I enjoyed explaining
my project and discussing how a lack of sleep could contribute to obesity. I also attended some of the sessions, one of
which included an explanation on the Robert’s Rules of Order. I had no idea that there was actually a book
on this and I was now able to better understand how committees work. This will be helpful as I currently serve as
the P1 representative for the curriculum committee at the University of Iowa College
of Pharmacy. Also, if I have questions,
I can now go to the book and better understand the rules. With my improved understanding of the Robert’s
Rules of Order, I am looking forward to trying out the rules in practice at the
next curriculum meeting.
