As another three-week Spinal Cord Injury Techniques Course approaches (July 16-August 5), P.O.E.T. is again planning a series of demonstrations against this cruel and wasteful course that is being offered at The Ohio State University.

Monday, July 17th will be the first in a series of protests against this course.
Location & Time:: Wiseman Hall, W. 12th Ave. 11:00am to 1:00pm

W. 12th Ave. can be accessed via Neil Ave. or Cannon Dr. - There is parking available at the garage next to Wiseman Hall.

Instead of teaching such crude techniques, OSU should be encouraging future researchers to “think outside the box” and develop and use in vitro and clinical research, imaging, and post-mortem techniques that will truly advance our understanding of human spinal cord injury—and aid the search for a cure.

For the many reasons we are opposed to this class click on and visit the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine website http://www.pcrm.org/resch/anexp/osu.html and read "Help Stop Inhumane Spinal Cord Classes at OSU"

Protest schedule:
Tuesday, July 25th - Wiseman Hall - 11:00am-1:00pm
Thursday, July 27th - Wiseman Hall - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Monday, July 31st - Wiseman Hall - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Thursday, August 3rd - Wiseman Hall - 11:00am-1:00pm
