Dear Quantum Scientists in the Boston Area:
You are invited to Quantum Beer, Summer Edition, where Quantum Scientists
from institutions all over the Boston Area socialize away from the
blackboards. Calculations on napkins are permitted.
Every Quantum Beer is at a different place. This time, we are going to
Redbones.
Quantum Beer
Wednesday June 16th at 8pm
Redbones BBQ <http://www.redbones.com/brews.html> (downstairs)
55 Chester Street Somerville, MA
02144<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=redbones&mrt=al…>
Redbones has a beer roulette, and good southern-style BBQ. We will be *
downstairs*. Just ask for the "Quantum Something" group.
The Quantum Beer email list keeps growing. If you know people that would be
interested in getting the Quantum Beer announcements, send me their email.
Salud!

Dear All,
I have received an invitation for a round table discussion from JCP.
It is said that
"The round table discussion will take place Wednesday, August 25th from 4-6 PM
with beer, wine and food provided."
So, I forward it to you, just in case you are interested (to complain
to the Editor directly).
Regards,
Man Hong
p.s. I will be out of town for the whole Aug. and be back sometime in Sept.
p.s. I checked with James. He did not receive it, so I guess not all
of us has this.

Greetings from the Younger Chemists Committee!
Please check out the updated YCC
website<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/4453943:6661986829:m:1:1198326…>.
Several key items are available:
• YCC roadmap for Boston meeting
• 2010 CIBA young scientist award winners
• Special column for ACS Presidents to deliver their personal messages to
younger chemists
• Leadership Development Workshop attendees’ column
Don’t forget to stop by YCC programs at the 2010 National Meeting in Boston!
YCC is co-hosting the Joint Subcommittee on Diversity Reception (Monday,
Aug. 23, 6:30—8:00 pm Room 162 A/B, Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
and the Graduate Student Postdoc Reception (Monday, Aug. 23, 7:00—8:00 pm
3rd floor Ballroom foyer, Boston Convention and Exhibition Center).
*The YCC has Awards for Younger Chemists! *
Each year, the YCC organizes a Leadership Development Workshop that is
geared toward younger chemists and is held in conjunction with the ACS
Annual Leaders' Conference as part of the ACS Leadership Development
system<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/4453944:6661986829:m:1:1198326…>.

Subject: Student/Postdoc Seminar Series speaker recommendations
To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu
Cc: anna(a)chemistry.harvard.edu
Dear Professor Aspuru-Guzik,
The CCB weekly student/postdoc seminar series has proven itself to be a
popular event since it first started two years ago. We are very proud that
it is becoming a departmental tradition. From September to May during the
Friday lunch hour, two students or postdocs from the department give
25-minute talks describing their research to their peers. Not only does this
result in a stimulating and varied seminar series, but the speakers are able
to present their research in a formal, but friendly, setting.
As the organizers of the seminar series, we are now beginning to plan for
the upcoming 2010-11 academic year. The key to the series’ success, of
course, is securing in advance 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
request 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 emailing us at asutton(a)fas.harvard.edu <freinkm(a)fas.harvard.edu>. Your
response by Friday, August 13, 2010, would be especially 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!
Best regards,

Hi Group,
Does anyone have a copy of Nitzan. Its checked out of the Chem library and
I thought it would be wasteful to recall it if someone from the lab has it.

Dear group members,
*Free desk* (for any group member or roomate, or friend of, etc., it is a
good luck desk, I wrote my faculty proposal on it :P), and to whoever takes
it, I also give a sparkling wine bottle if you take it soon (LOL)
