Re: [Aspuru-Guzik group list] Update from Stanford

by Anna B. Shin

Hi Nicholas, great to hear from you! Yes, I periodically remove the old group members while I'm adding the new ones, so that is what happened. I've copied the group list so they can read your note. Good luck to you and keep in touch! Best, Anna On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 12:25 AM, Nicholas Ward <nikos.ward(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Anna, > I hope things are well.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: 2009/10 Grad student-PostDoc seminar series

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Hi group members, I am looking for volunteers to give 2 seminars next semester. Please send me your candidacy (with the topic that you would like to talk about) by the end of the next week so I can make a decision on which 2 I will nominate :) Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Kralj <joelkralj(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 11:20 AM Subject: 2009/10 Grad student-PostDoc seminar series To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Cc: anna(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Dear Prof Aspuru-Guzik, Last fall was the inaugural semester of the CCB weekly student/postdoc seminar series. During the lunch hour of each Friday throughout the academic year, two students or postdocs from the department gave 25-minute talks describing their research to their peers. With the help and participation of 29 out of 30 CCB and affiliated labs, the series was a great success and received favorable reviews in student surveys. Among the series’ benefits were increased interaction among students and valuable practice in preparing and giving presentations to a general scientific audience. As the organizers of the seminar series, we are now beginning to plan for the upcoming 2009-10 academic year. Key to the series’ success, of course, is securing a variety of student and postdoctoral speakers from diverse labs and areas of interest. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in recruiting such speakers. Specifically, we ask that you recommend two trainees from your laboratory to give talks during the year – one each for the fall and spring semesters. You may do so by replying to this email or by returning the form that has been distributed to your mailbox. Your response by August 5, 2009, would be particularly helpful to us in planning the series. Please also let us know within this time frame if you would prefer for us to approach your students directly about participating in the seminars. Finally, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions for improvement regarding the series. Thank you in advance for your assistance and support!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Coffee

by Ivan Kassal

Dear Group, The coffee is running out. So, there will be a money collection during Friday's group meeting. Since I probably won't feel like chasing you around to pay up, there will be consequences if you are late with coffee payment. I'm thinking of sending the Baba Yaga after you. Semion and Dmitrij can confirm how terrible that would be. I have a list on my desk of how much people paid last time, and unless your coffee habits changed in the meantime, let's keep that amount constant. Ivan
