Meeting Minutes
Neuroengineering Training Grant
8/8/07

Attendance: Nasir Bhanpuri, Andrew Cassidy, Gabriel Colon, Suneil Hosmane, Luke Johnson, Issel Lim, Christopher Smith, Aaron Wong

Curriculum
C. Smith is still collecting and compiling course information. A completed version should be available around Aug. 22.

Essay Contest
A new version of the essay contest form is available and will be emailed out by N. Bhanpuri. Currently, the deadline for student submissions is intended for October.

Webpage
A. Cassidy has informed us that the neuroengineering web page is up, although a few changes are still to be made.

Neuroengineering Fall Seminar
Instead of the weekly chalk-talk seminar format, Dr. Thakor has proposed a single seminar in which each of 6 faculty members can spend about 30 minutes presenting on their research. After some discussion on potential dates and formats, it was agreed to aim for a seminar on Aug. 29th in the afternoon following med school classes that day.

Summer Seminar Series
You could certainly feel the excitement oozing throughout the room as C. Smith gave his presentation on Microfluidics and Adult Neural Stem Cell Research. L. Johnson will be presenting next week, with I. Lim to bring our summer seminar series to a close. For I. Lim’s presentation on the 22nd, please email her a one-slide summary of your research to be compiled into a brief overview for incoming students interested in getting a taste of Neuroengineering. If the attendance rate on the 22nd is low, this overview be postponed till the 29th.
