[Bioundgrd] Brain and Cog Science Society Poster Session

[Janice Chang]

>
>
>The Brain and Cognitive Science Society is hosting a poster session on April
>16th from 3-5pm (the Friday afternoon of CPW weekend). It's open to all
>undergraduate students doing work related to brain and cognitive science,
>including neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience, computational 
>neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Your UROP or other 
>research does not need to be
>completed, it just needs to have a start, some findings, and a direction for
>future work. It can be from work done here at MIT or elsewhere and can be from
>research you did during the year or the summer.
>
>The reason it is so open-ended is because we really want to open up an
>opportunity for undergrads to get the chance to present their work 
>so that they
>get the experience of poster presentations, the chance to interact with
>professors and other students, and a way for them to get credit for all the
>effort they put into doing the work they do. It's a great experience 
>and CAN BE
>ONE MORE GREAT THING ON YOUR RESUME. YES! YOU CAN INCLUDE THIS POSTER SESSION
>IN YOUR PUBLICATIONS SECTION because poster sessions count as publications. So
>whether or not you've been published already, this will look very good for med
>school applications!
>
>The deadline for registration is this FRIDAY APRIL 9, 2004.
>
>Please e-mail bcss-officers at mit.edu with your name, year, and tentative poster
>title so that we can officially reserve poster space for you in the 
>E25 atrium.
>Thanks for your interest and I look forward to seeing your posters.
