Summer opportunity in biostatistics

Summer 2007 Opportunities for Undergraduate Students for Training in Biostatistics


SIBS (Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics) will be in its 4th year this summer. Sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the program has been very successful, but space is limited! Students should apply soon. SIBS is open to all US undergraduates (citizens or permanent residents).


The program flyer [here] explains that SIBS is offered at three sites: Boston University, North Carolina State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Further details are given at the individual websites listed on the flyer.

Summer residence at Mt. Wilson observatory

CUREA 2007 TO OFFER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

AT MOUNT WILSON OBSERVATORY JULY 8-21


The Consortium for Undergraduate Research and Education in Astronomy (CUREA) will repeat its highly successful in-residence educational program at Mount Wilson Observatory for the 18th time this summer, from July 8 through 21, 2005. The program is aimed at undergraduate physics and astronomy majors, with junior or senior standing, who are considering a career in science or teaching.


Staff and students will pursue a short on-site course in astrophysics and observational astronomy using the historic facilities at Mount Wilson. Instruments available to the students will include the Snow Horizontal Solar Telescope, used in conjunction with a high-resolution spectrograph; a 16-inch Meade LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with CCD camera and SBIG stellar spectrograph; and the historic 60-inch reflector, used by Harlow Shapley to discover the size of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Subject: Research Experience for Undergraduates Application Reminder

Please remind students that applications for the Maryland Sea Grant REU program are due February 13, 2007.

We would like to invite your students to apply for Maryland Sea Grant's Research Experience for Undergraduates Estuarine Science Program.

• 12 week program during summer 2007
  
• $3700 stipend plus housing, travel to and from site
  
• http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/Education/REU/index.html
  
• Applications due: February 13, 2007
  

We invite applications from undergraduates in diverse disciplines, including engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and marine and environmental science.

Since 1989, NSF has supported this program to bring students to undertake individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at either Chesapeake Biological Lab or Horn Point Lab of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

You didn't hear this from me ...

... but here are a few more useful links for getting through this semester.
