There are announcements that indicate new publication outlets,
resources, and jobs in Cog Sci and in cognitive modeling, or jobs I
think might take modelers with an application. I have also included
several unusual items, including some tools, an obituary (sadly), and
a documentary.

If you would like to be removed, please just let me know.  I maintain
it by hand to keep it small.  David M. Schwartz helped prepare this.

Starting in late May or early June each year, a select group of talented
undergraduates will embark on a 10-week residential program that
provides intensive, mentored research experiences in computational and
theoretical neuroscience. Admitted students will receive a stipend and
university dormitory housing.

The core of the program is the opportunity to carry out an individual
mentored research project working closely with a faculty mentor. Other
aspects of the scientific program include faculty research talks,
student presentations and discussion of articles from the scientific
literature, presentations on career options and scientific ethics, and a
concluding symposium in which students present their research.

This program is intended for students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. after
graduation. Any undergraduate may apply, but we are especially
interested in attracting students with strong quantitative backgrounds.
Many of our trainees are from colleges and universities that do not have
extensive research programs, but all must be United States citizens or
permanent residents, must be enrolled at a 4-year accredited
institution, and must be in their sophomore or junior year at the time
of application.  CNBC is dedicated to creating an inclusive and
welcoming environment for all students and we encourage applications
from women, under-represented minorities, and individuals with
disabilities.
