RIDDLE FOR THE WEEK
With age I gather
And get I lose
Ego is self denial
Gone is sure
Ties bind ten
Tresses are out of style
Um…speak your mind
What am I?

Paid Mentors for CHE 102
CHE 102 REALLY needs YOU as a paid mentor!!
We have
several folks who have expressed an interest in being lab mentors for the CHE
102 class for winter 2007, but we need a few more.
We need 2
mentors for each class, more important that they can make the second lab of the
week when working with ROBOLAB, but really need them in first lab working with
MATLAB as well.
We
need folks who have taken the course and are somewhat familiar with MATLAB and
the LEGO-based robotic project.
Mentors
work with one of the sections for two 2-hour labs each week, from week 1 to 10.
The three
lab sessions times are:
Section
"O" = Tue/Thur 1-3pm
Section
"S" = Tue/Thur 3-5 pm
Section
"U" = Wed/Fri 1-3pm
The
pay for either type of position is $9/hour and is paid on an hourly card set up
through Lea Clayton in the CHE office.
If
you are interested in helping out with CHE 102, please stop by the main office
(Gleeson 103 and see Karen) or email Dr. Levien. He is out of the country
this week but will be checking his email.

Summer
Undergraduate Research Program in Biotechnology and Bioengineering
The Keck Graduate
Institute of Applied Life Sciences offers an opportunity for undergraduate
students to participate in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research in the
areas of bioengineering, bioinformatics, and applied molecular and cellular
biology, and to gain exposure to related ethics and business topics. Funding
for 10 positions within this REU program is provided through the Engineering
Directorate of the National Science Foundation (NSF). We expect to offer 5-10
additional positions through other funding source. Keck Graduate Institute is
the newest member of the Claremont Colleges, located 30 miles east of Los Angeles. Although we
are a graduate institution, undergraduate students play an important role in
our research efforts. Women and members of underrepresented minorities are
especially encouraged to apply.
- Ten week program: June 11 - August 17, 2007
- For NSF-funded REU positions: $3,975 stipend, housing,
and travel allowance
- Application
deadline: March 2, 2007
