Dear all, I was approached by the organization that Dori works for, BUILD, a non profit that supports low income kids from the Boston public schools that are a first generation to go to college to see if we can host one (or maybe two) of their students. These two are their top students with a science interest. They have an A GPA and no jobs lined for the summer. BUILD would pay them a stipend so it is really up to us to host them. Of course getting permission from the department regards safety, etc. I think that giving them self paced Python tutorials, giving them simple scripts or calculations to run, website work, etc. would be appropriate. They would learn most from the experience, group meetings, etc. An opportunity like this can be eye opening and life changing. Any takers as graduate student or postdoc mentor(s) for them in the summer? I imagine you guys giving them a task and checking in on them periodically. If any undergrad wants to mentor them this could also work. Let me know today if we have any volunteers, Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University | 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu | http://about.me/aspuru
