[Joyce Roberge]

Dear Course 7 and 6/7 upperclassmen:

Last call for lightning lecturers to give five-minute presentations during DEX!
The event time has changed: lectures will now start at 4:30PM on Tuesday, January 29th.
Please fill out this form:

Have you taken an interesting Course 7 class, or do you have a biologically relevant research project that you're passionate about?

Want to share your experience with eager freshmen thinking about Course 7?

Do you have five minutes or more to spare between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM on Tuesday, January 29th?

Then volunteer to present a lightning lecture for Course 7 during DEX!
Department Exploration, or DEX, is a new program piloting during the last week of IAP that will help freshmen learn about various majors. To give freshmen an idea of what it is like to be an undergrad in course 7, the biology department is looking for Course 7 or 6/7 juniors and seniors to present a lightning lecture. These lightning lectures will be SHORT (5-10 minute) presentations, given by students, about either a class or a research project. Research projects outside Course 7 are acceptable as long as they have a biological focus: the goal is to show freshmen the variety of opportunities that biology offers. The presentations will start at 4:30 PM on Tuesday, January 29th. If you have further questions, please contact bexec at mit.edu<mailto:bexec at mit.edu>.
