>Are you...
>
>Searching for a cool lab to UROP in?
>Looking to network with industry professionals and graduate students?
>Dreaming about meeting the famed Professor Belcher, recipient of the 
>2004 MacArthur Fellowship aka "genius grant"?
>
>All of the above wishes will come true at the April 5 BMES 
>Distinguished Lecture featuring Professor Belcher of the MIT 
>Material Science and Engineering, and Bioengineering Departments. 
>
>The Belcher lab uses Nature as a guide to make novel electronic and 
>magnetic materials and to pattern materials on nano length scales. 
>Professor Belcher and her students have pioneered a very novel, 
>non-covalent self-organizational approach that utilizes 
>evolutionarily selected and engineered peptides to specifically 
>recognize and bind electronic and magnetic building blocks. Come 
>hear Professor Belcher explain the exciting research taking place at 
>her lab; she will also adress how organism first evolved  to make 
>materials and how to develop new scientific approaches that move 
>beyond naturally evolved materials in order to address future 
>technology needs.
>
>In honor of the awesome Professor Belcher, EXTRA DELICIOUS 
>refreshments will be provided before the lecture.
