Have you heard of the Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative?
QUOTE The Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative is quite possibly the most impressive opportunity for undergraduate students who plan on pursuing a career in scientific research. At the time of the formation of MFURI, there was no precedent for undergraduate led research teams within the United States. Now, through the networking and support provided by the Methuselah Foundation, and the preliminary efforts made by our teams, we have made it possible for this to occur. Imminst members are also discussing how to move this initiative along Tune in to this Sunday's Immortality Update to discuss the MFURI and other SENS related issues with the founder of the project - Kelsey Moody. The program begins at 5pm CDT (22:00 GMT) The Sunday Evening Update - tune in here |

Awesome Mind, as a former 'lab rat' myself I look forward to hearing about this initiative. I hope to be there in time for the chat, work permitting

If you have some questions for Kelsey but are unable to tune in, then list your question in this forum and I will ask it during the program on Sunday.

Sounds terrific. I do not know if I will be there Sunday evening or not to get in on the chat, but I will definitely listen to it afterwards from the archives.

The program has been saved at the Ustream channel. It was a very informative interview. Kelsey explained the nuts and bolts of MFURI and how everyone, not only undergraduates, can get involved. I think he will be a good scientist - I tried to cajole him into making a prediction about the future of LysoSENS and he said a good scientist shouldn't speculate too much about the future.

Did he say anything about MFURI for overseas students?

He did not have as much information for overseas students but he did allude to the fact that it would be easier for overseas students to do literature reviews (rather than getting funding and doing lab experiments). See here: http://www.mfuri.org/research_topics.htm
For some reason the archived video is not currently loading in the Ustream video player. Hopefully the problem is transient. |
