Dear All:

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 2008. May 18 to August 10.
~$4200 stipend plus housing, travel to and from site
~http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/REU
~Applications due: February 29, 2008

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 that brings students to conduct 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.

Details and application guidance at our web site: http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/REU

A downloadable PDF flyer is available at:

http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/programs/research/reu/reu2008.pdf

While an advisory committee selects students from large and small institutions throughout the U.S., NSF is particularly interested in supporting talented students from institutions where access to marine science and to research projects is limited and who are from underrepresented groups in marine science.

Please help us to "spread the word" about the terrific NSF REU program and, in particular, about the Maryland Sea Grant REU program. We would be grateful if you could forward this email on to your students and to colleagues at other academic institutions that might have qualified undergraduates.

If you have any questions please feel free to email or call me (301-405-6373). I apologize for any cross posting of this announcement.

Hi Dr. Holland!

I graduated from SU a couple of years back and I first wanted to thank
you for everything that you've done for me. Right now I'm working on
Aberdeen Proving Ground at the Medical Research Institute for Chemical
Defense (USAMRICD). Specifically, I play with cyanide all day :)

My lab partner left a while ago to pursue a career with the Peace Corp
so there is an opening in my lab. I figured you might be able to pass
this info on to any of your students you think might be interested.
This is a great oppurtunity for those looking to get lab experience with
incredible opportunities. The lab work is mostly in vitro with some in
vivo (using mice, rats, and guinea pigs). They would work along side of
me searching for a faster acting/ better antidote to CN intoxication.
It's getting pretty exciting right now because we have a few leads that
are consistantly superior to the clinically employed thiosulfate - in
vitro.

If you can think of anyone there that might be interested, have them
apply through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE).
And on the application make sure they check the box that specifies
USAMRICD.

Thanks for all your help and I look forward to your reply

Severn Riverkeeper Program. 329 Riverview Trail. Annapolis, MD 21401. www.severnriverkeeper.org

Contact: Fred Kelly/ Severn Riverkeeper. Phone: 410-849-8540. Summer semesters. Interns take part in our summer monitoring project, collecting data on dissolved oxygen levels. They also develop and execute personal educational projects, help execute our annual Celebrate the Severn fundraiser, and participate in local projects/events such as the Oyster Planting project put on by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Qualifications: The intern must be self-directed, people-oriented, and passionate about protecting the Severn River. This internship pushes the interns to their limits, so they must be willing to be challenged to produce projects and ideas when necessary. It is an unpaid position, so they must come with their own fiscal resources. Please send a resume and cover letter in an e-mail to riverkeeper@chesapeakerivers.org with the subject as "internship". Prospective intern should feel free to call with questions or requesting an interview.

As of August 1, 2007, New York City Urban Fellows Program applications for the 2008-2009 program year will be available on our Web site (http://nyc.gov/fellowships ). It is my hope that by reaching out to the career services offices of America's top colleges and universities, we might directly access the type of talented student who could excel in the Urban Fellows Program. Since 1969, the Urban Fellows Program has introduced America's finest college graduates to local government and public service. The nine-month program, which offers a paid stipend of $25,000, combines full time employment with a comprehensive seminar series exploring the mechanics of local government and electoral politics as well as important issues facing the City. Fellows come to appreciate the wide range of challenges in New York City government from the budget process to agency operations, affordable housing, to affordable health care, and education to economic development. The unique opportunity to work with current decision makers distinguishes the Urban Fellows Program as the premier training program in the public arena. Alumni are consistently found in leadership positions throughout the government as well as the private and non- profit sector. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to receive an informational flyer that can be posted. I hope to build a continuing relationship with your career service office in order to provide your top students a chance to participate in our program.
