<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Lillian Eden, I’m the communications specialist for MIT Biology. I’m reaching out because it’s never too soon to start thinking about the holidays!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every year, the MIT Biology department solicits colorful research images to feature on a card that is sent out to alumni and friends of the department. This card is a critical component of staying connected to the MIT Bio community worldwide!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Submissions will be considered on a rolling basis until <b>Friday, Oct. 31.
</b>Anyone in the MIT Bio community is eligible to participate!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/request/oCXbDEPn74p74q43Msz4">Drag and drop your file(s) into this folder to submit content</a> and I’ll be in touch for additional details.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last year's selection (below) was from Hariharan Jayaraaman, a graduate student in the Weissbourd Lab. This image shows genetic labeling of the nervous system of a jellyfish larva, about 290µm across and magnified 450x, which swims around
searching for an optimal place to attach and metamorphose into a stationary adult polyp. Investigating this process provides insights into the structure and function of early nervous systems and a critical decision point that is particularly vulnerable to
climate change (we’ll work together to draft a description like this to include in the card).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best, <br>
Lillian.<o:p></o:p></p>
