Event Summary Archives
Our May 2022 workshop was an engaging presentation on Minnesota’s wonderful system of state parks and trails by Arielle Courtney, partnership development consultant for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. She began with a summary of the health benefits of getting outdoors, especially in natural areas, and why “two hours outdoors is the new 10,000 steps.”
“The homeless problem is a housing problem,” according to Tim Marx, the informative and engaging speaker at the UMRA Forum on April 26, 2022. Speaking on the topic “Advancing the Public Good Through Housing,” Marx maintained that many challenges may increase the risk of homelessness (such as chemical dependence, ex-offender status, and domestic abuse), but the root cause of the homeless problem is the housing crisis.
For our April 2022 workshop, Erik van Kuijk, MD, PhD, chair of the University of Minnesota Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Neurosciences, discussed age-related changes in the eye and the diseases that ensue.
In this session, we learned how to take pictures (of your pictures) with a digital camera, the pros and cons of fee-based digitizing services, and flat-bed scanners.
