BIKING
From the annual Little 500 Bicycle Race to the Hilly Hundred bicycling weekend, IU and the surrounding community have a strong cycling tradition and a large, enthusiastic bicycling community.  The rolling hills and country roads provide abundant opportunities for biking.  

The APS organizers are currently working with a local bicycle shop to work out arrangements for APS participants to rent bicycles, helmets, etc.  If enough interest is expressed in a biking excursion, we will pursue our efforts to make arrangements for this experience.  Please let us know if you are interested in biking by responding to the biking option on the tour section of the Symposium registration form.  We will continue to communicate updated information to those interested

COLUMBUS, INDIANA ARCHITECTURAL TOUR
Duration: 3 ½ hours           
Departure Time:            1:30pm
Group Size: 29
Cost: $25
Unexpected.  Unforgettable.  Columbus, Indiana is a small city of approximately 40,000 residents which is ranked 6th in the nation for architectural innovation by the American Institute of Architects.  Beginning in the late 1940’s, the city leaders made a commitment to create a ‘good’ community and determined that to be ‘good,’ a community had to look good.  Hence city began a quest to hire some of the top architects in the world (I.M. Pei, Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Richard Neir, Harry Weese, Henry Moore) to design churches, schools, libraries, municipal and corporate buildings.  The architecturally significant buildings laid the foundation for what has expanded to innovative art, sculpture and landscape design.  Home to Cummins Engine, a Fortune 500 Company, Columbus is unique, uniquely interesting and uniquely beautiful.

CYCLOTRON (including the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute)
Duration:Tour – 1 ½ hour; Transportation – 15 minutes each way
Departure Time: 2:00pm (additional times may be added if there is sufficient interest)
Group size:  47
Cost: $15
The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) is a multidisciplinary laboratory performing research and development in the areas of accelerator physics, nuclear physics, materials science, life science and biomedical applications of accelerators.  Researchers associated with IUCF also use the accelerators and particle beams to investigate radiation effects and imaging techniques such as neutron radiography. 
Research and development projects include medical device development, detector and diagnostic design, and the production of oversized equipment for large scale physics experiments. 

This facility also houses the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute, which provides a cancer treatment that precisely targets tumors resulting in higher cure rates for localized cancers, fewer side effects, and less damage to healthy tissue in children and adults.  This 1.5 hour tour will include a PowerPoint presentation about the IUCF’s ongoing research and medical treatments followed by a visit to areas of the Cyclotron Facility.  (Note: As the accelerator and medical clinic will be operating, the tour may not be able to enter that area.  Tour highlights will include the Control Room, Low Energy Neutron Source and Radiation Effects Research program areas.)

KINSEY INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN SEX, GENDER, AND REPRODUCTION
Duration: 1 hour
Times: 2:00pm; 3:00pm; 4:00pm
Group Size: 15
Cost: Free

The origins of The Kinsey Institute date to the 1940’s when prominent zoologist, Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, discovered that little scientific data existed on human sexual behavior.  What studies did exist were either extremely value-laden or based on a very small number of clinical patients.  Dr. Kinsey began collecting his own data, using controlled and scientific methodology.  The results of his findings were published in 1948 in a book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male – thus initiating the beginning of what is commonly referred to as ‘the sexual revolution” of the 1950’s, ‘60s and beyond.

The Kinsey Institute continues to function today as a leading research center for sex, gender and reproduction.  The Institute has an extensive library and an extensive collection of art work.  An Asian Art Show will be featured in the Kinsey Gallery in June 2009 and will be a focal point of this docent led tour.
