            <div>Dear Postdocs,</div>
            <div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>In the past few months, an incredible group of your
                colleagues has played an instrumental role in helping
                MIT in an online educational collaboration with the Khan
                Academy. &nbsp;MIT graduate and undergraduate students are
                making hands-on, experimental videos to help inspire and
                educate K-12 students in Science, Technology,
                Engineering and Math (STEM) fields before they attend
                college. &nbsp;We are looking for some more post-docs to
                mentor teams of MIT students to ensure high quality,
                accurate content in their videos. &nbsp;To learn more about
                the project, please visit our website:&nbsp;<a
                  href="http://k12videos.mit.edu/" target="_blank">http://k12videos.mit.edu/</a>.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Next week, we will be accepting 10 teams of students
                to make video series (due in late May), and would like
                to assign one postdoc (or two) to each team. &nbsp;We will
                require the teams to have a meeting with their
                postdoc(s) before they film in the hopes of getting the
                technical content right the first time. &nbsp;On Tuesday,
                March 20th at 12:00 in 1-236, I'd like to offer you
                lunch to discuss. &nbsp;Please reply to me (<a
                  href="mailto:fearing@mit.edu" target="_blank">fearing@mit.edu</a>)
                by noon on Monday (3/19) if you are interested in
                attending.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>We are thankful for the engagement of the post
                doctoral community in these efforts and look forward to
                seeing you next week.</div>
