*PhD Movie 2 film screening + Q & A with Jorge Cham of PhD Comics!*

Thursday, October 15, 2015

6:00 p.m.

Location: 26-100

This event is open to MIT only.


The PHD Movie 2 looks at themes of competition in research, overcoming 
writer's block, and finding your voice. Winston is now an integral part 
of Prof. Smith's Lab. However, the current economic situation has put 
the lab in peril as research funding levels are at an all-time low. The 
group must travel to an important academic conference and square off 
against a rival research group as they compete for results and grant 
money. Meanwhile, Cecilia's advisor declares he is going on sabbatical, 
which means she has to finish writing her thesis or be stuck in grad 
school another year.

Those of you who are fans of the comic are in for a rare treat - Jorge 
Cham will be with us for the screening! There will be a live Q&A 
following the movie with Jorge Cham!

Savvy, delightful and humorous, we are excited to welcome Jorge Cham 
back to MIT. Keep an eye on the MIT Event Calendar listing of this event 
for further updates.

"We can use films [such as The PHD Movie] to start a conversation about 
how to nurture the practitioners and purveyors of science."
