> Hi Janice, 
> I'm a graduate student at MIT and I'm organizing a student-led conference called Hacking Medicine (http://hackingmedicine.mit.edu/). I believe many students in the Biology program would be interested, and I'm hoping you can forward information to your student lists.
> 
> Hacking Medicine's aim is to catalyze the formation of healthcare solutions, implementable today. At the event we will select 100 passionate thinkers and doers to form a truly multidisciplinary group. Teams composed of engineers, scientists, physicians, and entrepreneurs will build on each other's skill sets to envision concrete solutions they can carry forward after the conference.
> 
> We’ve held three very successful conferences over the past two years. Teams formed at Hacking Medicine have gone on to found companies, join incubators, and secure venture funding. We’ve received universally positive reviews of our events, many saying that it’s dramatically changed their perception of how they can make a real difference in healthcare..
> 
> I believe students in the Biology program who have interest in medical applications have incredibly valuable skill sets and visions, and I would love to see them engage in our conference. 
> 
> Can you please forward the below email to your student lists?
> 
> Thanks very much, and please let me know if you have any questions.
