Dear group members,
If anybody wants to mentor undergraduates, esp. comp. sci. students, but
any area, please send me a description like the one below. Say that we
don't supply funds, but we can help them apply for HCRP and we have options
for research course credit.
Add the following text at the end of the ad if you write one.
"The Aspuru-Guzik group can help you apply for an HCRP fellowship. We also
are open to research course credit options. If interested in this research
opportunity, please e-mail your CV and a cover letter to Siria Serrano,
aspuru.staff(a)gmail.com"
Best,
Alan

Y'all,
The Department closes at 2 this afternoon so I will be out at that time and
on vacation until Sunday, September 10th when I will be flying to Mexico
for a conference Alan is co-chairing. I'll be back to work on September
11th but with limited time for Group business due to the conference until
Tuesday, September 18th when I return to the office.
Thanking you for your understanding and patience,
Siria
