2/21/07: Meeting Minutes
Preview Weekend:
Misti Marr is organizing a 5-15 minute presentation to be given to BME grad student applicants interested in Neuroengineering during their lunch hour on Friday (12:30 – 1:30 pm).
The presentation will discuss life as a grad student, and will cover:
(1) research (short descriptions, similar to what is listed on the website)
(2) NETI, briefly
(3) classes people took or are taking, especially those that are unique to Hopkins
(4) extracurricular activities (a.k.a. the “look we actually have a life outside of school” section)
Send pictures to Misti Marr by next week Monday (2/26/07) to be included in the presentation. There will be a meeting with Reza Shadmehr next week (most likely Thursday) after the presentation has been compiled.
Scholarship Essay Contest
Nasir Bhanpuri presented preliminary ideas regarding the essay contest. A competition targeted at high school students to promote interest in Neuroengineering was agreed upon, with a small ($100-$500) prize offered as a reward. Potentially there will be two categories for entries, one more ethical and one more technical, with a first prize (monetary) and honorable mention awarded in each.
The finalized version will be solicited to guidance counselors of local Baltimore high schools, with an online form through which entries can be submitted. Judging may be done at a meeting with everyone present and having a couple people rate each essay so the ratings are more fair.
A more finalized version will be presented at the next meeting.
EMBS Neural Engineering Conference, Kohala, HI
Plans are being made to attend the EMBS conference May 2-5, currently being organized by Natan Davidovics and Gabriel Colon. Those interested in attending also include Nasir Bhanpuri, Chris Smith, and Aaron Wong. Those planning to stay longer must pay for the extra days out of pocket.
Next Meeting
The date and for the next meeting was not finalized, but it was agreed that meeting locations should alternate between the Med campus and Homewood. Keep an eye out for an email regarding the next meeting.
