[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Leaving the Center for the Environment

by Jenny MacGregor

Dear Harvard Center for the Environment Friends, I am writing to let you know that today will be my last day of working here at the Harvard Center for the Environment. For the past two years, I have been commuting from Plymouth, MA to Cambridge each day. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the work here at the Center, the commute was beginning to take its toll. I was recently offered a position in Plymouth (5 minutes from home!) that was too good to pass up, so I made the difficult decision to leave Harvard. I will miss being a part of the Center and the interaction with many of you that I have come to appreciate over the past two years. With luck, a new Events Coordinator will be in place before the start of the academic year - there are many promising candidates. There will be lots to do once he or she is in place. The 2007-2008 academic year will be a busy and exciting one for the Center. We've been working with various faculty members throughout the University on three major lecture series (The Future of Energy; Science Democracy and Society; and Biodiversity, Ecology and Global Change), a number of the , a robust Environmental Fellows program, topical journal clubs, and many other exciting ventures. Look for weekly calendar emails to start up again at the end of September. I look forward to following the Center's activities in the coming years. Your continued support of Center events and environmental activities in the area, combined with the amazing staff and leadership here at the Center will ensure that the Center and the environment continue to be of utmost importance at Harvard and in the global community. Best Regards, Jenny MacGregor -- Jenny MacGregor Events and Publications Coordinator Harvard University Center for the Environment ph: 617-495-8883

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Group meetings next semester.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, This e-mail is arrange for a group meeting every week (Wed 5-7 Naito 030) on which group members talk about their results. This is getting to be important with the size of the group. We will start the week after classes start. Alejandro is the chosen organizer, so he will add the dates to the Google Calendar in the website. Alejandro will also invite other local relevant speakers (BU, MIT, our department, physics, etc.) to fill in the remaining slots. I expect everybody to present once a semester.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] CUBLAS tutorial

by Sean Kermes

Some of you have expressed interest in going over the matrix multiply code I've worked on this summer so that you can use it for your own projects. I'm free pretty much any time to go over it, but it would be better to do it in a group, and if we could do it today, that would be great. I'll be either in my office or the kitchen area, come find me if you're interested so we can figure out what time works for everyone. -- Sean Kermes

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] Ideas for New Projects/Efforts at IIC + Instructions for Upload

by Alyssa A. Goodman

Dear All, The IIC is in the process of preparing a three year plan for its activities, to be presented to HUSEC this October. As part of these preparations, I would like to hear from the Harvard community about what new efforts you would like to see the IIC undertake over the next few years. As I hope you know, the IIC's (Spring 2007) project portfolio is online at IIC's web site, at http://iic.harvard.edu/projects/ index.html. That list can serve as an example of the kinds of activities in which the IIC has already become engaged--but please do not take it as limiting. The IIC's mission is to foster closer collaboration amongst scientists, computer scientists, and technologists at Harvard who are working together to solve problems that inspire or require clever computational approaches. Any idea for collaborations that fit within that mission, and involves Harvard researchers from any or many of Harvard's schools, is fair game. When we solicited the first ideas for IIC projects (in 2006), we established a framework for summarizing a project idea in 2 or 3 pages, which is online now at: http://iic.harvard.edu/projects/ ideas.html. Please feel free to use that framework, or even submit just one page that describes what you have in mind. (Instructions for how to transmit your document are given at the close of this message.) I need to emphasize that this email is *not* at this point a new "call for proposals" from IIC--it is my request for help in framing the IIC's future. I will use the documents you submit in the plan being prepared for HUSEC, and will likely include some of them verbatim, with your permission, in its Appendix. If all goes well, we will issue an official new "Call for Ideas" this coming Academic Year, and you should feel free then to submit the same idea you'll submit now, or an updated version thereof. Please contact me directly with questions, and also please feel free to forward this email to anyone in the Harvard community who you think might be interested in IIC collaboration in the future. Thanks very much, Alyssa ________________________________________________________________________ Alyssa A.
