Editorial
Internship with the Life Sciences Textbook Division at W. W. Norton & Co.
The life sciences department at W. W. Norton & Co., a leading publisher of
college-level textbooks, is looking for a junior or senior undergraduate student
studying science with an interest in educational publishing. Applicants should
be interested in applying their knowledge of biology, microbiology, evolution,
and/or biochemistry to analyze trends in undergraduate science textbooks. The
intern will learn directly about the editorial and marketing sides of publishing
and will be given the opportunity to speak with other departments to gain an
understanding of the entire publishing process. Ideal candidates will be
organized, detail-oriented, independent workers with strong interpersonal and
communication skills as well as a demonstrated ability to apply factual
knowledge to analysis of varied situations.
This internship will last the duration of the spring semester. Hours are
flexible, but applicants must be willing to commit to 10-15 hours per week for a
$10/day stipend. Juniors, seniors, and recent graduates preferred. If
interested, please send cover letter and résumé as an email attachment to
Callinda Taylor at ctaylor@wwnorton.com.
The Columbia University Center for Bioethics cordially invites you to The Gold Foundation Seminar Series
Ethics for Lunch:
Difficult Cases from the Columbia University Medical Center Ethics Committee
Deciding what to tell the patient and the patient's family is often a troubling
decision. Do you tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Do you postpone
the difficult conversation? Obfuscate? Join Dr. Prager to discuss some
especially challenging cases with which the Columbia University Medical Center
Ethics Committee has grappled.
