If I'm going to do a mentorship this summer, should I apply at the NIH or the Naval Research Laboratory? I'm more interested in the computer and physics stuff at the NRL, but I'm just as experienced in the bio stuff and it may be easier to get in at the NIH.

Like Kuci, what kind of marketing/advertising you want to do will determine which school is best for you.

However, I will say that if you have the choice between continuing your schooling or working in your chosen profession, I would (almost) always choose the work experience: nothing beats it. Nothing.

Actually, you only have to find as much proof as those who claim that he doesn't exist.

Since you can't prove a negative, they can't prove that God doesn't exist.

Therefore, since you can't prove that God doesn't exist, you have to assume that he might. And if you believe that he might, he might as well exist.

Conclusion: God exists because you can't prove that he doesn't.

How do I find a book club in the area? Now that I'm out of school I need a new way to meet people, and by "people" I mean "chicks," but I've concluded that engineering conferences are definitely not the way to go. So, I like books, and the ladies like books, know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge...

When you see an opportunity, seize it.

There are far more successful people who went to school (and even more for those who did cooperative education or internship) than those who dropped out or did not attend University.

Start one. Better yet, start a movie club. People like movies and it is far easier to get them to devote two hours of their month to watching a movie than it is getting them to spend 15 hours slogging through a book they don't like.

A more interesting one.

I am suffering an existential crisis. I have convinced myself that nothing in the world and no course of action has any value whatsoever. But being a free being in a sea of mindless matter, I cannot help but act.

What should I do.

First thing you have to do is set up a location. Borders is good, so is a sandwich shop that can handle large crowds. Talk to the management and let them know what you're up to, make whatever promises of future coffee and bagel purchases by your group in order to get their permission.

In short: You have to find a place to have the meetings before you advertise for the meetings.

To advertise:

1. Flyers at local colleges, used book stores.

2. An ad in the local alternative paper. Also call the major newspaper, ask them if they have a "community" section where groups can make announcements about upcoming meetings - if they do, they'll be either cheap or free. For example, the Atlanta Constitution has a weekend section where they list all contact groups, political groups, etc etc, where they're going to be and their meeting schedule.

3. Call up local talk show hosts, tell them (well, the producer) that you want to talk about your movie club. If they allow you on, tell them what you're up to, where and when you meet, and what the first movie is (Pick something that'll get a good audience - you can't go wrong with Gone with the Wind as a first movie.)

4. Tell everybody you know about it, rope some people in if you can.

Do what the rest of us in that state does... post at Poly.

Or do nothing. What do I care?
