OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS<br />
Science Action is looking for a few energetic Princetonians, ready to put science and<br />
learning into action!<br />
Science Actions helps you produce short science films (you do the research, plot the script,<br />
shoot the film and edit) that will be featured on Princeton’s YouTube page. All final videos<br />
compete in a Spring competition for prize awards.<br />
We’re assembling new Spring semester teams on the following topics:<br />
* Detecting exoplanets that orbit distant stars.<br />
* Influence of the epigenome on the heredity of family traits.<br />
* Perception of three-dimensional images by the human brain.<br />
* Designing nanoparticles for drug delivery.<br />
Interested? RSVP to scienceaction@princeton.edu this weekend, and come check out what<br />
other SA teams are up to at our end-of-semester meet-up on Dec. 9. (Lunch & apple cider will be<br />
served.)<br />
