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>du>. 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!
