This is a two year study program. Christine Price writes: “Gestalt Awareness Practice (GAP) is best viewed as a sport and an art, as well as a form of spiritual practice. Developing a greater capacity to be present in our lives is the motivation, and working with whatever arises is the means for that development. Therefore, the process is aimed at inquiry and discovery rather than problem solving.

“The emphasis is primarily intra-personal, centering on the student’s relationship to his or her own experience. Attention to breathing and physical sensation is a key component of the practice. -

The Experts Speak: What are the Biggest Challenges and Opportunities for Biorepositories in the next three to five years
Biopreservation and Biobanking/Liebert Publications
Abbreviated excerpt: For biobanks, in the near and long term the biggest challenges and opportunities are in many ways one and the same. Both involve the field’s ability not only to continue to dramatically advance, but to harness its full potential via innovation to ensure actualization of impact. Towards this pathway a few key things will be incredibly important in fostering success: voluntary adaptation related to necessary cultural changes to further cement and centralize appropriate…
Abbreviated excerpt: For biobanks, in the near and long term the biggest challenges and opportunities are in many ways one and the same. Both involve the field’s ability not only to continue to dramatically advance, but to harness its full potential via innovation to ensure actualization of impact. Towards this pathway a few key things will be incredibly important in fostering success: voluntary adaptation related to necessary cultural changes to further cement and centralize appropriate infrastructure either in instituting center of excellence/biological resource center, core facility and/or integrated biobank network models (in conjunction with tools to aide inter-operability, formal induction and evolution towards best in tandem with integration of evidence based practice preparation) as well as incorporation of biobusiness activities (i.e., cost recovery implementation and fit for purpose resource organization and resource evaluation). The ability for biobanks to embrace the changing perspective of viewing the biospecimen as a potential work product and provide focus on the life cycle, related process chain, and related pipeline planning will be hugely beneficial......
