Subject: MIT Convergence & Health Idea Challenge for Grad Students and Postdocs

 

Dear folks with an interest in Convergence,

 

Apologies for this mass email, but I thought you might be interested in the contest information, below. It is part of an MIT project exploring how Convergence – the integration of knowledge, tools, and ways of thinking from multiple fields to form a comprehensive framework for tackling scientific and societal challenges at interfaces – can contribute to the future of health. Winners will be announced on June 24, to coincide with the release of an MIT report. I believe the submissions will be posted online and prizes are involved…

 

Convergence Idea Challenge (MIT)

Please share the Convergence Idea Challenge with your graduate students and post-docs. Ideas can be submitted at http://goo.gl/C12QqH by June 3^rd. Participants can win up to $3000 for submitting a short 450-word report explaining their Convergence idea and how it will improve human health. More information at https://www.facebook.com/ConvergenceIdeas.

 

Best regards,

Katie
