[Dana Bresee Keeth]

Dear MIT Postdocs,

We want to be sure you all know about MIT's Independent Activity Period 
(IAP), and the numerous classes and activities at which you are welcome 
throughout January (January 7 - February 1). Many meet for one hour and 
are free.

Go to *http://web.mit.edu/iap/* and explore the listings of non-credit 
areas by*sponsor <http://web.mit.edu/iap/www/iap13/iap/nstoc.html>* (see 
for example Biology), *category 
<http://web.mit.edu/iap/www/iap13/iap/nctoc.html>*, and/or date. Note 
when advance sign-up is required, and check for any restrictions. 
Categories include: Careers; Engineering; Law and Legal Issues; 
Management and Entrepreneurship; Writing and Communication Skills; 
Academic Skills and Resources; Research Skills; and many others. You 
will also find some purely "fun" activities, and sessions related to 
art, music, film, cooking, hobbies, and more.
