Grad students (and postdocs):<br>
<br>
If you do research in any aspect of materials (including
economics/business issues), consider presenting a poster on Materials
Day, October 28. The poster session will run from 3:45-6 pm (put up
posters anytime after noon) in La Sala de Puerto Rico. Each of the
three best posters, as judged by the Materials Processing Center's
advisory board, will be awarded $500; all presenters get a little
"thank you" gift from the MPC as well. Poster presenters are
invited to attend dinner (starting at 6 pm). The entire MIT community
is invited to attend the morning workshop, this year on the theme
"Beyond Serendipity: Medical Issues as Materials Research
Opportunities."<br>
<br>
Materials Day is in its 6th year, and is well-attended by visitors
from industry, as well as by faculty from MIT and other universities.
It's a great opportunity to show off your work, network, and eat.<br>
<br>
See http://mpc-web.mit.edu/matday.html for more details on the poster
session and workshop talks, and for links to the online registration
form. Please register early -- last time, we ran out of space for
posters, and space is on a first-come, first-served basis.<br>
<br>
Any questions, email jwpell@mit.edu or call x3-6472.<br>

NOVEMBER WORKSHOP - FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS & POSTDOCS: SELF
ASSESSMENT, FRI., NOV. 14, 1-3:00 PMOnline registration
required
http://training.mit.edu/tr?courseid=11404<br>
Graduate students at all stages, from first-year through completion of
the degree, can benefit from self-assessment. Making career decisions
can be confusing without a clear<br>
understanding of your own internal priorities. This workshop will
introduce a framework to help you think about your future career
options, and some exercises for examining: your<br>
values, interests, and transferable skills which graduate students
often possess but may not have recognized. (There is also an
online version of a similar workshop.)<br>
