While the editor of this blog has been busy with other tasks, several new stories about Science at Brandeis have appeared at Brandeis NOW, the main campus news site:

• Computational linguist Nianwen Xue has new funding from DARPA as part of a large project to enable machine translation from Chinese to English.
• Brandeis has a lot of energetic pre-meds, for whom research in science labs is a vital part of their education.
• Undergraduate science researchers were among the presenters at Brandeis’s 4th annual Experiential Learning Symposium. Jessica Pullen ’13 (below) from Bruce Goode’s lab served as a panelist. Pullen will continue her research in Goode lab in Summer 2012 as a participant in the NSF-funded REU Program in Cell and Molecular Visualization at Brandeis.
