I Am Prepared! by Bryan

So here I am (still) in sunny southern California where people are mourning the loss of the crystal football ie The Rose Bowl. While I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of football, this was a great game, and the weather was a lot nicer for the football game than it was for the parade. I hope you had an umbrella, Mollie. (Yes, I decided to watch in on TV.)

So I leave California on Saturday morning to enjoy the wonders of IAP.

Title Link: I Am Prepared, get it? IAP… (it’s okay if you don’t want to laugh)

My primary mission is to start working on my new project in lab (to be blogged about later), but among other things, I’ll be enjoying some fun activities.

Some examples:
Extracurricular Research: Resources for Gossip, Entertainment News, and Consumer Information
Peter Cohn, Stephanie Hartman
Thu Jan 12, 12-1:00pm, 14N-132

Enrollment limited: first come, first served. Limited to 20 participants.

MIT has lots of resources for academic research but what about the crucial information we need in everyday life? Why is Demi Moore mad at Madonna? What did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie order for lunch at an Edmonton eatery? Is a GE air conditioner better than a Panasonic? Are higher thread count sheets REALLY better? Come learn about databases to find answers to these questions, get access to music and entertainment magazines, radio and tv transcripts and more.

Mitra, this might help you confirm that Jon Stewart is hosting the Oscars.

This is one of my favorite MIT events, hands down. And STAY TUNED to see how you can join our team “Too Much Clue” in some of the fun that weekend. If you’re interested in joining our team remotely, you can email me at [email protected].

I’ll try to keep everyone up to date with some of the IAP fun, and definitely email me if you’re interested in joining our team.
