NOV. 3, PRESENTATION ON AAAS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY POLICY FELLOWSHIPS, 
3-4:30, 4-163

Are you interested in the interaction of science, technology and 
government in the United States and around the world? Would you like 
to work in Washington, DC, to learn firsthand
how the federal government operates and to help make decisions that 
result in national public policy?A representative of AAAS and one or 
two former fellows will talk about the
application process and the fellowship experience. For PhDs who will 
graduate by Dec. 2003 (or have already graduated), or those who are 
interested in applying in the future. See 
http://www.fellowships.aaas.org  for more information.

If you have a PhD or an equivalent degree in one of the social, 
physical or biological sciences, or are an engineer with a master's 
degree and at least three years of post-degree
professional experience, you are eligible to apply for a one-year

NOVEMBER WORKSHOP - FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS & POSTDOCS: SELF 
ASSESSMENT, FRI., NOV. 14, 1-3:00 PMOnline registration required 
http://training.mit.edu/tr?courseid=11404
Graduate students at all stages, from first-year through completion 
of the degree, can benefit from self-assessment. Making career 
decisions can be confusing without a clear
understanding of your own internal priorities. This workshop will 
introduce a framework to help you think about your future career 
options, and some exercises for examining: your
values, interests, and transferable skills which graduate students 
often possess but may not have recognized.  (There is also an online 
version of a similar workshop.)
