Local CDS News Archives

Peggy Cooney has made a binder with menus from local restaurants and put it in the coffee nook next to the microwave.  Feel free to browse through the menus,  but please do not take the binder away.
For a listing of all the restaurants in Pasadena, search with Google or go via the CDS Travel/Visitors webpage, where there is a link to the Pasadena Convention and Visitors Bureau. Some 50 pages of restaurants with ratings are listed under Dining if a search is made for "all" restaurants.  

There are dishes and glasses in the cupboards above the sink, and mugs hanging on the wall of the coffee nook. These items may be used by people in CDS but you are asked to kindly wash, dry, and put them back when finished with them---preferably on the same day.

There is a special tall grey bin (with a picture label on it) for recycling empty aluminum cans and glass/plastic bottles. It may be found in the hallway near the CDS Library. Please make use of this recyling bin but do not use it for disposal of other garbage.

Would the people using the burgundy chairs during meetings in the CDS Library (114 Steele) please help to restore order in the room when the meeting ends, by restacking the chairs at the back of the room? The library is reserved regularly by different groups and it would be appreciated if the chairs were kept stacked at the back when not in use. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations to Shawn Shadden (Marsden Group) on the recent National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award. "The purpose of the MSPRF is to support future leaders in the mathematical sciences by enabling them to participate in research environments that will have maximal impact on their future scientific development."

Shawn will be graduating in June 2006, and his fellowship will officially begin on July 1, 2006. He will be working  with Professor Charley Taylor at his laboratory at Stanford University. Shawn's goal is to help develop better methods to quantify hemodynamic flows structures observed in vivo and in vitro. Meanwhile, in June, he will take a temporary position as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Bioengineering at Caltech, under Professor John Dabiri.
