Cooperation and Collective Behavior, from Bacteria to the Global Commons

A sustainable future for humanity will require finding a way to share our complex environment. Learn about the evolution of cooperation in non-human populations, and what must change in our own behaviors if we are to have a common future.

Senior project work for next week

Posted on October 10, 2008 by biowithoutwalls

Senior project penguins,

I’m pleased to say that everyone turned in their letters of intent on time and had them uploaded on turnitin.com on time. I look forward to reading them.

We’re still in the process of figuring out the schedule for next Wednesday for what seniors will do during the PSATs. You’re probably either going to be trained in using the library to find scholarly journals and/or go to the library. Take advantage of this opportunity to work on your working bibliographies.

Also, MENTOR AGREEMENT FORMS ARE DUE NEXT FRIDAY. THESE CAN BE FOUND HERE: sww-mentor-handbook.
For many of you, this will be as simple as getting a signature from your mentor. For some of you, it may mean actively pursuing mentors to help you. All of you should have a draft letter to a mentor that we adapted from your letter of intent.

Please email me with any questions/concerns. I know we won’t see each other for a bit. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR SENIOR PROJECT.
