NOTEWORTHY

David Brody, assistant professor, criminal justice, and criminal justice graduate student Heidee McMillin have had an article titled  "Pregnancy Testing and Prenatal Care for Pregnant Probationers: A Legal Analysis of a Common Sense Policy" published in the Criminal Law Bulletin Spring 2001.

Joanna Ellington, director of biomedical development for WSU Spokane, has co-authored with Wilker, C.E., “Reproductive Toxicology of the Male Companion Animal,” and “Reproductive Toxicology of the Female Companion Animal,” chapters in Small Animal Toxicology, ed. P. Talcott, WB Saunders, 2000.

Ellington and Sylvia Adams Oliver, assistant director, Health Research and Education Center, hold the following recently approved patents:

·    Methods and composition to improve germ cell and embryo function. (10/31/00 as US Patent #6,140,121).
·    Composition of arabinogalactan in a sperm wash. (1/9/01 as US Patent #6,171,778)
·    Methods and compositions to improve germ cell and embryo survival and function. (11/30/00 as Aus Pat #723170).

The company headed by Ellington and Oliver has recently reorganized. Formerly known as Advanced Reproduction Technologies, it is now OriGyn Technologies, LLC. The restructuring reflects the company’s product development in new markets outside the infertility industry, which had been the core of the company. The company has ten other patents pending, internally and in the U.S., in addition to the three listed above.

Jolene Spratt, graduate student in health policy and administration, has been named to the committee that selects students to recommend to the governor for the student regent appointment. This may be the first time non-Pullman representation has been on the selection committee. They'll forward three names to the governor (it can be a student from any campus).
