Learn How to Lower Your Cancer Risk
There will always be someone you know whose health flies in the face of conventional medical wisdom. But clinical studies of cancer risks can involve thousands of people and last several years. They give scientists a far broader perspective on cancer risk and prevention than you could ever get yourself. You might also believe there's little you can do to lower your cancer risk because you’ve heard that genes play a role in many cancers. It's true that people who have certain versions of particular genes can be more susceptible to some cancers and the factors in the environment that trigger them. While you can't change the genes you inherited from your parents, you can change factors in the environment. |
Performance Evaluation Training SessionsDon't forget this afternoon's training session on the performance evaluation process. It is the first of three such sessions, and will take place from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in Building 40's Orange Room. Learn more... WIS Seminar:

Do you know people who
have smoked their whole lives and thrived well into old age without any sign of lung cancer? Or someone who never seemed to go near fruits and veggies but lived a long, full life? When you think of them, you might decide that cancer will come when it comes and there's nothing you can do about it. That’s where you'd be wrong.
The
layoff is over. Now what? As we go about our daily work, some of us are finding that certain services have been redefined, that our workloads have increased or duties have changed, or that a workspace once occupied by a friendly or helpful colleague is now empty.
