discussions.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Helvetica">One series of
events, called "LIFE AFTER MIT", will include discussions
that provide guidance for taking the next step in academic research
and examine some of the career options in biology outside of academic
research and clinical medicine. It will include a selection of
talks on the practice of science, navigating academia as well as
covering non-traditional paths for Biology PhD's.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Helvetica">A second
series, focuses on Self-Assembly of macromolecules, notably
proteins, is of central importance for any living cell. These
self-organized systems come in an astonishing number of flavors and
many we are just beginning to appreciate. Technically often
challenging to study, this series highlights some of the most recent
findings from a broad spectrum of these
systems. </font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Helvetica"><br>
Sponsored by Graduate Women in Science.--Engineer Charles Moses will
conduct a course on repair of laboratory equipment, geared toward but
not limited to beginners. Equipment will include: electrophoresis
units, spectrophotometers, motors on shakers and centrifuges, etc.
General topics will also include: assessing the tools required to
disassemeble, fix and reassemble a piece of equipment; tool quality;
and rational disassembly of equipment when the function of some
component is not known. Bring broken equipment on which to practice.
Session starts at 7:00 p.m. in Project Lab, Bldg 68. <br>

Are you writing your thesis this year? This one-hour interactive
tutorial led by a recent PhD graduate will illustrate some simple
shortcuts you can take in Microsoft Word to make thesis formatting a
breeze (automatically generating/updating table of contents, applying
consistent formatting throughout the document, etc.), saving you many
precious hours. Room where the workshop will be held has 20 PC's
available on a first-come first-serve basis or you can bring your own
laptop. <br>
