Things to note

Hi folks,
Hope you all had nice Thanksgivings.

As I mentioned in class today, the link to the Rhett Syndrome paper led to the incorrect paper. That is now fixed; please make sure you're reading the correct paper.

Please submit final papers to Troy via email.

Thanks,
Hannah

connectomics + feedback

Hi all,
Here is the article from the NYT that I mentioned today in class: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/us/cancer-immortality-cryogenics.html
And a nice opinion piece about why connectomics will never let us "upload your brain": http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/opinion/sunday/will-you-ever-be-able-to-upload-your-brain.html

Also, remember presentation feedback is due by the beginning of the Tuesday class. I've been receiving a lot of late feedback.

Happy halloween!
Hannah

Hi all, hope you had a good weekend. A few things:

1) Please make sure you have signed up for a presentation. We also encourage you to sign up for multiple presentations. We consider it a "bonus" and it gets you out of an extra reflection. Sign up here: http://doodle.com/poll/q4wvm85wnen9x9tq#table

2) Remember to submit feedback for the presentation from last week. Only about half of you have. Submit feedback here: http://goo.gl/forms/A4fWcnv34B

3) Reflections from last week are graded and comments are posted. Let me know if you have any questions.

4) The submit link is up for the reflections due on Thursday.
