This Friday, amaze your colleagues with your culinary prowess and throw together your favorite chili recipe– who knows, it could get you inducted into the Waltham Academy of Colon Chaos!

Just bring in some chili, crockpotted or not, cornbread optional (but encouraged!), and enjoy a drink and good company while you sample the chilies of your peers.  You will have the chance to vote for your favorite, and a winner will be chosen.  There are already at least FOUR confirmed competitors– and we hope to see YOU there!

Dagmar Ringe and Greg Petsko

On September 4, 1980, Drs. Dagmar Ringe and Greg Petsko entered into an official collaboration, and the scientific community has never been the same since.  Now, 30 years later, their joint lab at Brandeis University is putting together a symposium to celebrate their combined lifetimes of achievement.  This 2-day event features 20 speakers who either trained or collaborated with the lab, plus a dinner reception on Friday night.  Registration is now open to all members of the Brandeis community.  Details and registration can be found at http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/PRSymposium2010/.  The registration code is scc30.
