Monday 1st March 2010 - Test of Faith (tour)

As you may or may not be aware, next monday is due to be the next CMF event. However, the award winning "Test of Faith- the tour" is coming to Aberdeen that night, so I thought we could go along to that instead.

 

Test of Faith is an initiative run by the Faraday institute for science and religion and seeks to bring clarity to the science-faith debate. Scientists and theologians will unpack the main issues in a talk and Q&A session, with exerpts from the Test of Faith documentary.

 

It's being held in Lecture Theatre 4 of the Meston building on Campus, beginning at 7.30pm on Monday night (1st of March) and its free to get in with no prior booking required. If you want to find out any more about the event then visit their website at http://www.testoffaith.com/tour/  

 

Hope you're all having a good week, snow aside, and hope to see you there!

 

love CMF xxxx

Student-Doctor meal, 15th February

Next Monday (15th) we're having the first CMF student/ doctor meal of the term and, as it's the day after chinese new year (Valentine's day is going by the wayside I'm afraid!), we're having a chinese theme. It's going to be at the usual time and place (7.30pm at No.5 High street) and we thought this would be an awesome opportunity to reach out to the malaysian/chinese/singaporean students in our medschool.

As you probably know, Chinese New Year is a big festival in the East and many may be celebrating it away from home for the first time (esp first years and new fourth years) so, to be extra welcoming it would be awesome if everyone could invite a malaysian/chinese/singaporean classmate along as well to get to know them better and enjoy some chinese food :).

This coming year is the year of the Rabbit Tiger, so if you want to wear something vaguely rabbit tiger themed as well then I'm sure there'll be extra pudding for you or something :). And it'll be a great chance to chill after all those exams (2nd years!).

This could be a lot of fun, so please come along and be prepared to enjoy yourselves :) Hope to see you there!

End of Life Bill (Scotland)

On the 20th January Margo MacDonald published her bill hoping to legalise Physician Assisted Suicide. If this bill goes through, it could have profound effects on the way we practise medicine here in Scotland. We hope that this will not happen and believe all human life to be precious in His sight, each person being a valuable member of society.





If you would like to make your views known, then please follow the link to 'About the End of Life Bill' to learn a bit more about it (warning: large document!) and then write to your MP. You can easily find out who your MP is and quickly write just a couple of lines detailing your concerns by following the link to 'Write to Them' and it really is so simple you only need 5 mins. Please help us to speak up for those who would be put at risk by this bill, for those who cannot speak up for themselves.
