Same in DC, as of last week. My realization went something like: "What the heck, no eggs? What is there some kind of bird flu? Oh.. there's some kind of bird flu."

Please share this with any solid undergrad or masters student you think might be interested!

Our overarching goal is for you all to make informed decisions as to whether or not to get a PhD. We're just as happy if you leave knowing you *don't* want one, so long as the decision is informed. But we think you'll leave excited about a future career in research!

Demystify what getting a CS PhD entails. It's not 5 years more of classes! It won't cost you a dime! You spend most of your time working on *your* research and developing *your* passions. Learn about the kinds of careers that a CS PhD opens up.

Engage with CS faculty from UMD, Cornell, and MPI one-on-one and attend talks about their research. Meet like-minded students who will be your future research peers!
