  • Fall 2007 NYC Bone Seminars

    To Bone Researchers in the NYC area:

    The Fall 2007 Bone Seminar Series begins later than normal this fall,
    on October 9th, because of the 8th International Bone Fluid Flow
    Workshop held in the city on September 13th and 14th. On October 9th
    there are two speakers giving a joint seminar, Shelly Weinbaum (CCNY)
    and Clint Rubin (SUNY-SB) on GOOD, GOOD, GOOD VIBRATIONS: EVIDENCE
    FOR THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF LOW-MAGNITUDE, HIGH FREQUENCY
    MECHANICAL SIGNALS

    Details about all seminars appear below as well as on our website:

    THE BONE SEMINAR SERIES

    The Bone Seminar Series has as its focus the mechanosensory system in
    bone. Seminar program and workshop information are regularly posted
    on www.bonenet.net, a website dedicated to research on the
    mechanosensory system in bone. Please send comments on the website to
    the webmaster, Bill Green or to me
    .

    THE FALL 2007 BONE SEMINAR PROGRAM

    Normally, seminars will be held on Tuesdays from 7:00 to about 8:30
    PM in the rooms indicated in the CUNY Graduate Center at the corner
    of 34th Street and 5th Avenue, catty-corner from the Empire State
    Building. However on December 12th the seminar will be on a Wednesday
    to avoid conflict with a Jewish holiday. There are several subway
    lines nearby, and it is less than a ten-minute walk to either Grand
    Central Station or Penn Station. There is money to support parking
    for graduate students; apply to Steve Cowin (contact information at
    the bottom).

    SOCIAL BEFORE EACH SEMINAR

    Before each seminar, please join us for an hour or so of socializing
    and exchanging ideas beginning at 5:45 PM (to 6:45). All seminar
    attendees are invited to gather at the Heartland Brewery (see below)
    prior to the presentation. The speakers and others will be downstairs
    at the Heartland Brewery starting at 5:45 PM. Appetizers will be
    provided as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Supplemental beverages
    (i.e, alcoholic) will require out-of-pocket cash. Please note that
    there will be no food or beverages provided at the seminar so come
    early to the Heartland for both and for good conversations. Ask
    downstairs at the Heartland Brewery for the Bone Seminar Group.

    Title: GOOD, GOOD, GOOD VIBRATIONS: EVIDENCE FOR THE THERAPEUTIC
    POTENTIAL OF LOW-MAGNITUDE, HIGH FREQUENCY MECHANICAL SIGNALS

    ABSTRACT: Exercise is recognized as a critical regulatory signal to
    the skeleton, but which specific components are responsible for
    influencing bone mass and morphology remains unknown. There is
    mounting evidence that extremely low magnitude (
