The Harvard Course in Reading and Study Strategies is the longest continuously running course at Harvard. Taught since the 1940s with constant updating, the Reading Course is designed for people who need to read more, and more critically, than ever before and who, as a result, find themselves overwhelmed or disengaged. Based on the premise that our learning depends as much on how we read as on how much we read, the course helps students read strategically, selectively, and actively.
The Reading Course can help you develop a greater range of reading rates and a broader repertoire of reading strategies so that you have more choices available to you in approaching any text. Just as you would not ride a bike at the same speed at every moment, on every road, for every purpose -- or ride it in the same gear under all conditions -- it does not make sense to read all texts, of even all parts of a given text, at the same speed and in the same way regardless of your needs and circumstances. The Reading Course enables you to gain a better sense of control over your reading and studying and develop the flexibility, judgment, and confidence to apply different approaches for different purposes, thus increasing your speed of comprehension.
The Reading Course also helps you apply the principles and practices of active learning to other activities beyond reading. For example, you can apply active learning strategies to making notes, preparing for exams, and choosing how to use your time and energy every day. Indeed, approaching both your learning and your life with a sense of purpose and engagement can help you honor what matters most to you as a student and a person.

Submissions are now open for the Poster Contest for Mentorship in Research (PCMR), and all MIT students, postdoctoral associates, faculty, affiliates, and all staff are eligible.
The goal of the contest is to promote good mentorship in research and to communicate these ideas through visual publicity.
Entries should be original designs that promote good mentorship in research (broadly defined), and submissions will be open from January 5-February 15, 2010. All eligible designs will be posted on our website, and the MIT community will be able to view and vote on their favorites in three categories: best mentoring message, best visual, and best overall meme.
Independently three top prizes ($1,500, $750, and $500) will be awarded by a panel of judges to select entries from the MIT School of Science. All winners will be announced at a gala event in the spring.

The main goal of Kasper Stoy's work is to reduce the complexity of developing robots and at the same time extend the range of potential applications for them. His approach is based on the concept of modularity: in software as well as hardware, modularity can be used to encapsulate complexity and as a result make a modular system more tractable to use as well as making it easier to extend. A fundamental question is how the concept of modularity best is applied to the mechanics and electronics of robots. In this talk, he will give an overview of his work to this end and also present work on programming and control of modular robots.

In 1929, Secretary of State Henry Stimson closed the State Department's cryptanalysis department by saying, "Gentlemen don't read each other's mail."
Such kind thoughts toward one's international partners didn't survive long: witness the code breaking of the 1930s and World War II.
For the past quarter century, the Internet has been the playground of government-sponsored espionage. During the Cold War, the nascent Internet attracted such groups such as the KGB and the Stassi.
With the Internet woven into the fabric of all governmental activities, it's not surprising to find many international espionage agencies shadowing targets online and performing remote wiretapping. Occasionally, these break into the news, such as recent cases where the e-mail of overseas Chinese dissidents has been targeted by overseas operatives.
How far have these activities gone? How far might they go? What are the legal implications of state-sponsored network espionage?

Cyprien Gaillard's video revisits the symbolic death of architectural modernism through its depiction of a controlled demolition of a tower block apartment. Gaillard--who grew up in a public housing complex in a Parisian suburb that has suffered considerable ethnically-motivated violence--has referred to such demolitions as large scale state-sponsored vandalism. Gaillard invokes the eviction that occurs to families faced with the razing of such modernist tower block public housing, and also draws attention to the concurrent violent eviction of personal and public memory.
Dr. Kandel will consider the neural systems and molecular mechanisms that contribute to learning and long-term memory. He will divide his talk into two parts: First, he will consider how different memory systems in the human brain were identified and shown to be involved in simple and complex forms of memory storage. Dr. Kandel will then go on to outline animal studies of simple forms of memory, which demonstrated that long-term memory is reflected in the growth of new synaptic connections, as well as complex forms of memory in the hippocampus. Finally, Dr. Kandel will discuss how our insights into memory are allowing us to understand various forms of age-related memory loss.

About the Show:
It's the 1950s, and the residents of a typical American suburb are all vying to win the American Dream, a bowling trophy.

Their Cold War threatens to give a whole new meaning to climate change. Who will win the American Dream? Will local illegal space alien immigrant, Ross Well, finally get his green card? Will Cuban diner owner Desi Speakenglish say something in an accent that other people can understand? Will local dancing rebel, Wes Sidestory, find a cause? Will General Dwight Supremacy stop hanging "Dwights Only" signs on everything? Find out in HPT 162: Commie Dearest!

This exhibit explores one of the most important and controversial publications of the eighteenth century, Diderot's "Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers." This massive work became infamous in its day as an enlightened attack on French and European religious dogmatism and monarchical inefficiency and injustice. Containing over 2,500 elaborately engraved plates, it documented the mechanical arts and technology, placing equal importance on the manual trades as the arts and sciences. The exhibit features fascinating images chosen from the 32 original folio volumes owned by the MIT Libraries, as well as multimedia components illustrating the Encylopedie's significance.
Curated by Jeffrey S. Ravel, MIT Associate Professor of History, and Kristel Smentek, MIT Assistant Professor of Art History.

The MIT Museum's second annual "Luminous Windows" winter exhibition of holography features artists and scientists who pioneered this revolutionary imaging technology. The curtain goes up starting from sunset - 2 AM and runs until March 14, 2010.
The exhibition includes a rare public showing of Hand in Jewels, an 18- by 24-inch laser transmission hologram by artist Robert Schinella. Commissioned in 1972 by the jewelry firm Cartier for its New York City Fifth Avenue display window, the 3D diamond bracelet dangling from an elegant hand, projected out over the sidewalk AND astonished passersby.
The holograms on view in the MIT Museum's Massachusetts Avenue windows include four works from the museum's collection, the largest and most comprehensive collection of holography in the world, and two others on loan from private collections, including Hand in Jewels, owned by Marian Javits, widow of the long-time New York senator, Jacob K. Javits. Some of the works are technological achievements; others are influential artworks that advanced holography as an expressive medium.

With the start of the Spring semester, we are that much closer to summer vacation! However, worries about UROPs, internships, and jobs start looming ominously over our heads, piling up onto the usual stress of problem-sets and exams. Thankfully, Mujeres Latinas will host a seminar on how to properly prepare a resume and develop a pro-active and efficient plan for securing career opportunities. Also, we will invite some of the Latina professionals in the MIT community to share their post-graduate experiences. Moreover, for the freshman class, the spring semester comes with what could be the daunting decision of declaring a major. With upperclassmen and professionals all together, it will be a great opportunity for the freshmen to ask any questions that they may have when it comes to planning the rest of their four years at MIT. Afterwards, refreshments and healthy snacks will be served, and members will be able to ask questions regarding their personal situations and receive personalized help with their four-year planning.
