Dear grad students and postdocs,

We are excited to inform you of the IsoSiM Program's first annual IsoSiM 
Summer School <http://isosim.ubc.ca/content/isosim-summer-school-0>, 22 
June - 3 July  in the TRIUMF Auditorium.  The focus this year will be 
*effective written and oral communication in science*.  The school will 
be held in four parts:

- The workshop portion will be led by Dr. Jean-luc Doumont 
<http://www.principiae.be/>, author of the Nature Series "English 
Communication for scientists" and a lecturer with Stanford and Harvard.  
He will provide lectures on writing and oral presentations.

- The workshop will be interleaved with group work.  As part of a small 
group, you will prepare a document to be constructively critiqued by Dr. 
Doumont.  (Meetings and organization will be decided between you and 
your group members.)

- Dr. Doumont will give a public lecture, open to all TRIUMF staff, on 
"Structuring your research paper"  Tuesday 30 June, 09-11h.

- The fourth portion and final day will focus on careers in industry, 
with IsoSiM industrial partners.  Each representatives will give a brief 
overview of the company, participate on a panel on "Career paths in 
industry for young researchers," and discuss your individual concerns 
over a catered lunch.
