SPECIAL AWIS EVENT on June 5th--National
Book Award winning author Allegra Goodman will read from her novel "Intuition"
researched at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge...Mark your calendars
and watch for details.
This very realistic lab drama is about "an anxious, ambitious, down-on-his-luck
postdoctoral researcher suddenly obtains results that look too good to
be true — the virus he's injected into cancer-riddled mice appears to
be melting away their tumors — and his girlfriend, another postdoc in
the same lab, comes to suspect he's fudged his results. But she doesn't
know for sure: there's no hard evidence, just some sloppy, discarded lab
notes that seem to suggest it." (NYT Book Review)

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM A SUCCESS!
Please help us make SMART a success by providing your support. Think
about it, how many ways do you use math and science everyday. Wouldn’t
it be fun and rewarding to help a girl understand the impact of learning
these skills? Please consider sharing your talents with our girls.
Presentations should be interactive and hands-on with the girls. We
are happy to work with you to help develop your presentation or provide
you with prepared program to present. We are also able to provide
some assistance in acquiring any supplies you may need for your presentation.
Interested in being a presenter at SMART or finding out about other ways
that you or your organization can get involved … Please contact one of
