Panel on Grant Writing in Natural Sciences (Jan. 11. 2005)

I will not be able to make it but I think it should be useful.

Graduate students in the natural sciences are invited to a panel discussion on grant writing, to be held on the Morningside campus, the week before the spring semester starts. Organized by the New York Academy of Sciences, it is open to graduate students and postdocs from around New York City, so please REGISTER SOON if you want to get a seat. http://www.nyas.org/events/browse.asp?typeID=4

Admission is FREE for members of the Science Alliance (PhD students in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, DEES, E3B, Physics, Psychology and the Coordinated Doctoral Program in the Basic Sciences) $10 for other students, $20 for non-students.
