Lunch will be this Friday, September 22 at 1:10 – 2:20 pm in the LDC. Students on and off board are welcome. Meet in the hallway outside of Old Music Hall 103 to walk over to the LDC. I have reserved the “Class of ’51 dining room” for lunch today.

Discussion Group is a place for people of different scientific, philosophical, and religious backgrounds to talk about the intersections between and contentious issues within science and religion.  We meet Mondays at 7:00 pm in the Chapel Basement Lounge.  Contact gillespiej, groshk, or quinterod with questions.

Carleton will again be participating in the Mayo Innovations Scholar Program this year.  A Carleton team of two science and two economics students will research a proprietary innovation, working to understand the science and applications of the projects as well as analyze the market potential.

Note:  If interested the application form/materials are due by 3pm on Monday, 9/25.

As always, we have a lot going on in the department. In particular, we have a great line up of seminars. You should make an effort to attend our Friday seminars (3:30 p.m., Music 103 or tba) whenever possible.
