A teaching museum for the university since 1934, the museum is named for Frederick R. Weisman, and was designed by Frank Gehry. Often called a "modern art museum," the 20,000+ image collection has large collections of Marsden Hartley, Alfred Maurer, Charles Biederman, Native American Mimbres pottery, and Korean furniture.BuildingThe museum's current building, designed by architect Frank Gehry, was completed in 1993. The stainless steel skin was fabricated and installed by the A. Zahner Company, a frequent collaborator with Gehry's office.It is one of the major landmarks on campus, situated on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River at the east end of the Washington Avenue Bridge. The building presents two faces, depending on which side it is viewed from. From the campus side, it presents a brick facade that blends with the existing brick and sandstone buildings. On the opposite side, is an abstraction of a waterfall and a fish in curving and angular brushed steel sheets.

The University of Minnesota Medical School is the medical school of the University of Minnesota. It is a combination of two campuses situated in Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota.The Duluth campus, formerly the University of Minnesota Duluth School of Medicine, has approximately 60 students enrolled for each of the first two years of medical school. After that point, they are automatically transferred to the Twin Cities campus for their clinical rotations. The mission of the Duluth Campus is to select and educate students who will likely select Family Medicine/Primary Care and practice in rural locations. Duluth is also a primary site for the Center for American Indian and Minority Health which aims to educate increased numbers of Native American students as medical professionals.The larger of the two campuses is in the Twin Cities. This campus has approximately 170 students in each of the first two years of medical school with a mixture of traditional medical students and students pursuing combined advanced degrees such as a Ph.D. through a MSTP scholarship. As the larger of the two campuses, the Twin Cities campus provides increased opportunities for research and specialty care and also provides the main clinical education site for both campuses. Thus at the end of the fourth year, the total graduating class at Minneapolis usually exceeds 220 students. The University of Minnesota Medical school makes use of many teaching hospitals in the Twin Cities area. The University of Minnesota Medical Center is just one of these, others include Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), Regions Hospital (St. Paul), North Memorial Hospital (Robbinsdale), Children Hospital of Minneapolis and St Paul, Abbott Northwestern hospital and the Minneapolis Veteran's Administration Hospital.

SkepTech conference will be held on April 5th and 6th 2013 at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Why Skeptech? What is so important about technology that it became the theme of this event? After exploring other important topics like science, community, activism, politics, sexuality, and human rights – we settled on technology because we thought it was relatively unique, absolutely essential to the atheist movement, something most people want to learn more about, and something that just about everyone can relate to. In a recent interview at CNN, Jessie Galef, the Communications Director for the Secular Student Alliance, and Hemant Mehta, author of the extremely popular Friendly Athiest blog, express what they believe is causing an increase in the rate of young people who are doubting their faith. Hint – it’s the Internet. At SkepTech we are first and foremost dedicated to education. We want people to come away from this conference with practical skills that they can use in the the secular movement, and also in their daily lives. In addition to skill development here are some of the more interesting tech-related objectives that would be fun to accomplish in and around this event - Live streaming of the event Creation of an atheist documentary Development of a public database of articles and scholarly papers on the subject of religion An online list of atheist-friendly technology consultants that can be accessed by anyone If anyone has the know-how and desire to help accomplish any of these objecives – or if anyone has interesting new objectives they would like to mention we would love to hear from you.
