Today's Daily Herald mentions a study by Pauline Maki
Today's Daily Herald mentions a study by Pauline Maki, UIC associate professor of psychiatry and psychology, that found women in midlife underreport the number of hot flashes that they experience and these hot flashes are linked to poor verbal memory. The article is available at http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=209316&src=120
NBC, CBS and Fox affiliates also reported on the study published online and scheduled to appear in the September/October issue of the journal Menopause.
Pauline Maki, associate professor of psychiatry and psychology, is quoted in a HealthDay article about her recent research published in Menopause that found a relationship between objective hot flashes and memory performance.

Policies & Procedures
Over the next few months we will be providing and implementing Department Electronic, Network, Computing Policies and Procedures. All Department Policies and Procedures will be reviewed and endorsed by the Information Technology Steering Committee (ITSC) prior to presenting to the Department.
Because of our relationship to UIC and College of Medicine there are some Policies we automatically inherit. Two such policies:
- Information Security Policy - The University of Illinois
- University Guidelines on the Sale, Donation, or Transfer of Computer Hard Drives and Other Magnetic Media
These policies can be found on our web site using the following link: https://intranet.psych.uic.edu/is/ you will be required to “log-in” to access these policies.
We will make both of these policies (along with others forth coming) a part of new employee orientation, but to those of us already in the system we are asking that each of you please take the time to read these policies.
If you have any questions concerning any policy or procedure please contact Lloyd Keith, thank you.
