Education: ISCB-Student Council announces undergrad internship w/ Schneider Lab @ EMBL-Heidelberg
Submitted by Abhishek Pratap; posted on Monday, December 07, 2009
The ISCB Student Council is pleased to announce an internship at the Schneider Group at EMBL-Heidelberg. This internship is exclusively arranged by the Student Council in collaboration with Dr Schneider for a student from a developing nation. The goal is to train an undergraduate student in Data Integration and Knowledge Management in Computational Biology.

FUNDING:
Internship will be funded at Euros 400/month for 6 months. Student will be provided with free accommodation during his/her stay at Heidelberg. The cost of the travel to and from the home country to Heidelberg will NOT be covered by the host lab and shall be borne by the student in full.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Last date for Application Submission: Dec 20, 2009
Acceptance Notification: Jan 15, 2010

Rice genetic diversity and discovery: meeting the needs of future generations for rice genetic resources

Rice genetic diversity and discovery: meeting the needs of future generations for rice genetic resources

Program 5 provides the foundation for applying rice genetic diversity in the implementation of IRRI’s Strategic Plan. It focuses on three themes: characterization and creation of genetic diversity, and gene-function assignment; conservation and documentation of germplasm (seeds and the genetic material they contain); and enabling access to and use of genetic diversity and associated tools. These activities aim to solve production problems by using genetic diversity and by providing a genetic research platform that enables efficient conservation and use of genetic diversity. Thus, Program 5, which represents the interface between understanding and applying genetic diversity, promotes a convergence of approaches and innovations. Although the program’s activities are driven by the problems IRRI seeks to solve, the research also accommodates exploratory work to serve long-term needs.

Output 3: Genetic pathways for select traits determined using genomics and comparative biology
Genetic pathways for selected traits determined using genome-wide and comparative biology approaches with priorities on stress tolerance, nutrition and grain quality, and yield established by 2015

Users of this knowledge will contribute to the International Rice Functional Genomics Consortium objective of understanding genes controlling target traits, which will enable researchers to develop markers for breeding and lead to, production of prebreeding lines. Acceleration of gene discovery on a genome-wide scale will improve sustainability in intensive pro-duction areas and increase productivity in marginal areas.

Propose in public place

http://www.videojug.com/expertanswer/when-to-propose-3/should-i-propose-in-a-public-place

http://www.japanprobe.com/2006/01/20/generalizations-about-japanese-girls-part-1/
seems like an intersting article ...

these are some funny and creative tips...

For some city girls dating a gaijin is something like having a life-size fashion accessory.
... this sounds a bit harsh ...

http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-girl-talk-just-not-that-into-him/
. It makes me think of that scene in “The Wedding Planner” when Jennifer Lopez’s father explains that when he first met her mother he had to grow to like her, then lust after her, then love her. But it’s an absurd comparison because (a) her father had a pre-arranged marriage to someone he didn’t know and (b) it’s a J.Lo movie.

It took me 3-4 months to realize I loved him…which is very different from being “in love”. If you want to be “in love”, you should probably look elsewhere, but I feel that fades with time, while “loving” someone is something you can still do when you’re old and gray.

because I had learned you can never create the spark where it has never been.

some guys are too easy

... hmmm ... after reading the comments, it seems to be a 50/50, perfect guy, no spark learned to love after X number of years, and not-so-perfect sparkies ... then ...

A guy who stands up for and is passionate about what he believes in while being civil to those who disagree (and chivalrous/polite in general) is hot.

In all relationships the spark fades with time. I’m not saying it won’t ever come back, but the loves that really last are the ones where friendship is the base.
