Issue date: 3/4/08 Section: News
Tony Goldberg, a pathobiologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will present two lectures at the University this week as part of a joint effort by the Biomedical and Health Sciences Institute and the College of Veterinary Medicine. His seminar, "Ecology of Health and Disease in the People, Primates and Domestic Animals of Kibale National Park, Uganda," will be presented on Thursday at 4 p.m.
This is part of the monthly Ecology of Infectious Disease Lecture Series.
Goldberg also will lead a seminar, "Fish n' Chimps: Adventures of an Evolutionary Anthro-pological Veterinary Epidemiologist," on Friday in room H237 of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Goldberg's research focuses on the epidemiology and evolutionary ecology of infectious disease.
Hufstedler is considered a trailblazer for women in the field of law, as she has held positions at the highest levels of legal and public service in the country. She began her legal career in private practice in Los Angeles in 1950, and from 1960-61 she served as a special legal consultant to the attorney general of California in the Colorado River litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1961, she was appointed judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court and, in 1966, she was named an associate justice of the California Court of Appeal. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed her judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in 1968, where she served for 11 years before President Jimmy Carter named her the first U.S. Secretary of Education. In 1981, Hufstedler returned to private life, teaching and practicing law as a partner in the Los Angeles firm Hufstedler & Kaus, now Morrison & Foerster.
