A WARM WELCOME
Thank you very much Dr. Arunabha Sen.
Now for next months guest. I am trying something different. I am trying to introduce our students and their capabilities to you 'all.
May 12, 2009 speaker -- Let's give a warm welcome to Research Assistant, PhD candidate, Harrington Department of Bioengineering -- Venkat Shankarraman.
His talk is titled --
“Understanding thrombosis - A need to design biomaterials.”
Despite decades of research, synthetic blood-contacting materials elicit undesirable responses such as thrombosis. However, natural materials including the “basement membrane”, which underlies the cells that line the vascular wall, works well for decades without recruiting thrombosis. In this talk we will be looking into how the properties of the biomaterial are discerned by the endothelial cells, converted to intracellular signals and further transformed into desirable behaviors that prevent thrombosis. This information provides insight into how engineers can reverse-engineer the attributes of such natural materials.
We will meet at the CRAVE Bar & Lounge, on Mill Ave, starting around 5:30 PM.

A Hitchhikers' Guide to Network Science
Our event was well attended again THANK YOU 'ALL and thank you Dave Cooke!!
April 14, 2009, speaker will be Arunabha Sen Ph. D. Associate Professor, Computer Science & Engineering. The title is -- "A Hitchhikers' Guide to Network Science"
Abstract --Network Science is an emerging discipline that draws upon a variety of well established disciplines, such as, Graph theory, Game Theory, Probability Theory, Algorithms and Complexity Theory, Machine Learning and Data Mining. The techniques from Network Science can be applied to a variety of application domains, Computer Networks, Electric Power Grid Networks, Social Networks, Transportation Networks and Biological Networks, to just name a few. In this talk we will undertake a journey through the galaxy of networks and find out how basic tenets of Network Science rule all these different planets.
We will meet at the CRAVE Bar & Lounge, on Mill Ave, starting around 5:30 PM.

Thanks for the VERY GOOD TURN OUT -- let's keep it up!!
Ralph, Senior Vice President, Information Technology for Medicis -- thank you very much for your presentation. And a very large thank you to Tim Hayden of DPScience who purchase the first round for everyone!!!!
February 10, 2009, speaker will be Jeff Luth, Impress Public Relations. the title is “The Wonderful World of Public Relations.” Smaller companies tend to be enamored with their technology and often find themselves either with a solution in search of a problem or simply unable to effectively articulate their value proposition. Larger companies may have difficulty creating a unique identity for new products and services. In these cases, generating awareness and interest is critically important. Yet for many companies, the marketing / public relations process is often conducted as a series of standalone activities, without an underlying strategy or any structured coordination. This equates to the sound of one hand clapping. Marketing 201 is about creating the strategies and tactics that can effectively advance business goals.
We will meet at the CRAVE Bar & Lounge, on Mill Ave. February 10, 2009, from 5:30 PM -- 7:00 PM
