[Aspuru-Guzik group list] (no subject)

by Semion Saikin

Guys, I've finished reading the book "Plastic Fantastic." Now it is on the shelf near the group printer. Feel comfortable to take it. I like it a lot especially because you can met many active personages of the story at conferences or even here. Semion

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] QuEBS recap?

by Semion Saikin

Dear Group! As Alan said the QuEBS conference is over. I was not able to attend it, but would be much interested to learn what you guys (those who are working on QuEBS and those who are more skeptical like me :) ) have got from the meeting. In exchange I tell what was interesting on the Plasmonics Gordon conference that I've attended. Is anybody interested in such a discussion? Let me know!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Interactions

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear Group, Thank you all for the awesome help during QUEBS! I ended up exhausted and I assume you too. Quite a few people from the conference are staying a few days to visit us and MIT. Please be friendly with them. I might be late today as I got a flat tire yesterday while driving Doris sister to Wellesley, and today have to take my car in to get my tires fixed. Unfortunately, then the conference effects are still here as many will want to talk science to you. A lot of them want to collaborate, etc. You can talk to me about the options, etc. See you as soon as I solve the tire issue, Alan Aspuru-Guzik (Sent from my mobile phone and might contain typos. Thanks for understanding.)

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] visitor Jianming Cai

by Man-Hong Yung

Dear Group members, Jianming Cai from Innsbruk is visiting us for one week; he is sitting at Jacob's desk. He is working on both quantum computation and biophysics. Feel free to talk to him, or let me know if you want to make a special appointment with him. Here is the homepage of Jainming where you can find the publications of him: http://www.uibk.ac.at/th-physik/people/staffdb/528842.xml Regards, Man Hong

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] QuEBS is OVER!

by Anna B. Shin

Yes, can you believe it?!! It's over! Yeah!! FYI, there is a few leftovers from the party - cookies, pretzels, fruit/nut mix, and soda. The food has been left in your offices and the soda is in the kitchen area. We also have a lot of bottles of the fruity alcohol, which we'll leave in one of the crates for when you're thirsty. The crate will be in the big student office. Lastly, Peg was able to save a few of the QuEBS canvas bags. If you don't have one yet, you can stop by the office next week and get one from Peg. Thanks to all those who helped make the workshop a success! Anna Anna B.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: Burroughs Welcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface

by Semion Saikin

Looks very interesting! Unfortunately, I do not satisfy the "less than 48 month after PhD" rule. Otherwise, my Raman-mice Project would fit it perfectly. :) So, is there any brave person to try a quantum biology?

These awards are intended to foster the early career development of researchers with backgrounds in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences whose work addresses biological questions. These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens or permanent residents as well as to U.S. temporary residents. In previous years, candidates for this award had to be nominated by a North American degree-granting institution. This year, eligible candidates for this award may self-nominate by submitting a preproposal by the deadline shown above. Preproposals will be reviewed by the *Interfaces in Science Advisory Committee* and selected candidates will be invited to submit a full application.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] business card business

by Johannes Hachmann

Hi everybody, Since we are in the conference season I had a look into business cards the other day and here is what I came up with (maybe of interest for people): 1) the standard Harvard cards from UIS https://www.uis.harvard.edu/printing_publications/hrvrdstat.php are really expensive with 85$ for 500 cards 2) I now ordered 200 cards at Staples for 36$ (54$ for 500; they have a bit plainer paper but more colour and design freedom; http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/programs/copyandprint/business_cards.html). They only need 4h to make them - if you take the delivery option it is cheaper and you can get better paper (http://www.staplescustomprinting.com/PriceQuote.aspx#100360). However, Staples needs a letter from the Harvard Trademark Program which states that you are entitled to have cards with the Harvard shield (www.trademark.harvard.edu). 3) Anna discovered today another Harvard business card service (UOS) (http://www.uos.harvard.edu/transportation/mail_services/business_cards.shtm l) where one gets basically the same as in (1), but with a few more options (e.g., multicolor) and for much less money, i.e., 35$ for 300 cards. Hope this info is useful for some of you.
