E-mail hoaxes, phishing and spam attempts are a constant in our lives. Universities across the country have been subject to mass e-mail hoaxes and UNM is no different. A recent attempt involved a message from a false Bank of America web site asking the recipient to click on the link in the message and type in personal information. Fortunately, the Information Technology Services (ITS) was able to filter out the e-mail hoax. However, the potential for cyber security breaches remains and it is everyone’s responsibility to keep their personal information secure.
Instrument to provide real-time images of biological processes
Researchers at the University of New Mexico were recently awarded a three-year, $1.1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to support a research program within the Department of Physics. The program, titled “A Facility to Perform Bio-molecular Imaging; Real Time Phase Mapping of Biological Dynamics,” is designed to provide real-time images of biological processes at nano and pico scale resolutions, a feat never achieved before.
The University of New Mexico Alumni Association is currently accepting nominee submissions for the 2009 UNM Alumni Association Awards. The association, which provides awards to individuals in acknowledgment of their exceptional achievements, offers four awards for UNM alumni, faculty and other individuals, which include the James F. Zimmerman, Bernard S. Rodey, Erna S. Fergusson and Faculty Teaching awards.
