[Air-l] Real Last Call for the Doctoral Colloquium

[Nancy Baym]

I had a few requests for a few extra days and said yes, so if anyone 
else wants one more chance, I've extended the deadline for the 
doctoral colloquium until this Friday, June 1. Thanks! Nancy

The AoIR 8.0 Doctoral Colloquium offers Ph.D. students working in 
internet research or a related field a special forum on Wednesday, 
October 17, 2007 where they will have a chance to briefly present 
their dissertations-in-progress and discuss them at length with peers 
and established senior researchers. Interested students should 
prepare a 2 page summary of their research. This should provide a 
context for the research, describe the methods being used, the 
progress to date and expectations and hopes from the colloquium.

Communication, University of California-Santa Barbara, United States.
