Shad BrainLab Workshop

Hey, are you a high school student who's about to head off to a Shad Valley summer program in a few days (after the July 1st long weekend in 2011)? Are you going to the University of Waterloo perchance?

If you answered yes to both these questions then I have a very important message for you: at some point in the next month you will be given an opportunity to participate in a neuroscience workshop (four two-hour long sessions spread out over a week for a total of 8 hours of brainy goodness). You might, at that time, be given other choices of workshops and some of those other choices may or may not involve robots, cars, the environment, the prefix 'nano' or other things like that. You will then ignore these other choices and choose the Path of Neuroscience -- unless, that is, you're really not interested in how your mind works, in which case you should go with the environmental one.

Oh, also, have fun! Shad's pretty great. Sleep now while you still can.
