Just wanted to post a quick blog to talk about a gentleman who is coming to campus next week.
Victor DeNoble will speak Wednesday, February 23, 2011, at 12:00 pm in the Copper Lounge of the Student Union Building (SUB) of Montana Tech. DeNoble researched nicotine’s effect on the brain in the 1980s before his lab was suddenly shut down by Philip Morris in an effort to keep his discoveries secret.
He is the "inspiration" behind Russel Crowe's movie, The Insider.
This is a part of "Through with Chew and All That's New" week on campus, which our goal is to educate students and faculty alike on the new marketing campaign and strategies, as well as the new products that the tobacco industry has released.
I encourage all of you to attend this speaker. Even if you are not a tobacco user, or are sick of hearing about how you should quit, Dr. DeNoble is a great example of someone who stood up for what he felt was right.
Thanks guys! I'm off to fly to Nebraska in two days for my interview. Stay tuned for a blog next week!
