will help freshmen learn about various majors. To give freshmen an idea of what it is like to be an undergrad in course 7, the biology department is looking for
<b>Course 7 or 6/7 juniors and seniors </b>to present a lightning lecture. <b>These lightning lectures will be SHORT (5-10 minute) presentations, given by students, about either a class or a research project.</b> Research projects outside Course 7 are acceptable
as long as they have a biological focus: the goal is to show freshmen the variety of opportunities that biology offers. The presentations will start at 10AM on Tuesday, January 29th. If you have further questions, please contact
<a href="mailto:bexec@mit.edu">bexec@mit.edu</a>.</font></span></div>
