Michael O'Neill believes his Northern Ireland side fully deserve their place in the knockout stage of Euro 2016 after defying the odds to qualify from Group C.
O'Neill's men had already made history by reaching their first ever finals in France but a gutsy 1-0 defeat at the hands of world champions Germany, coupled with Turkey's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic, ensured they would break more new ground by progressing as one of the best third-placed sides.
At full-time in Paris they knew they had a good chance of seeing further action; three hours later Turkey's triumph confirmed it.
They finished with three points and a neutral goal difference, an equation that could easily have been much worse had goalkeeper Michael McGovern not produced the performance of a lifetime.
The soon to be out-of-contract Hamilton stopper defied Germany with a string of wonderful saves and was the toast of the dressing room, which rewarded him with a standing ovation.
O'Neill was never content simply to be a sideshow at the tournament and is now looking forward to a tie against Wales or hosts France.
"The nature of the comp is such that small teams deserve the opportunity and we earned our right to be here," he said.
"We've earned a right to be in the round of 16. I think our players deserve the opportunity, they've done magnificently well.
"It (the next round) becomes a cup tie, a different scenario.
"We have to hope we produce an upset in a cup-tie format.
"We're a very small nation with a very small group of players.
"I'm immensely proud to be here."

Freshman Alexandra Kiefer became Harvard's third individual women's national champion Sunday (Harvard Athletic Communications).
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Freshman Alexandra Kiefer ended her rookie season Sunday the same way she started it – standing at the highest point on the podium. Kiefer defeated Princeton's Eve Levin, 15-7, on the final day of the 2011 NCAA Fencing Championship to claim the women's foil individual title.
Kiefer marched through the final portion of the round-robin competition, totaling 18 wins over the two days with 103 recorded touches and a +42 scoring index, to enter the medal round as the No. 2 seed behind Penn State's Doris Willette. Kiefer faced Evgeniya Kirpicheva of St. John's in the semifinal and earned a tight, 15-12 victory to advance to the championship bout. Willette, a two-time NCAA champion and 2008 Olympian, was upset by Levin in the semifinal by the same score, 15-12, setting up the Kiefer-Levin showdown.
In the final, Kiefer jumped out to a big lead over Levin and never looked back, leading 10-4 at one point before scoring the clinching touch with just 14 seconds left on the clock. The individual championship is the third all-time for Harvard women's fencing, second in a row after Caroline Vloka's title in women's sabre last season, and second in the foil event, following Emily Cross' NCAA foil win in 2005.
Junior Noam Mills looked to be the clear favorite in the women's epee medal round after earning the No. 1 seed with 21 victories during round-robin competition, two more than the next competitor, scoring 103 touches and posting a +53 scoring index, all top marks in the field.
Mills cruised by Penn State's Margherita Guzzi Vincenti in the semifinal, a rematch of last season's championship bout, by a score of 15-8 to match up with Courtney Hurley of Notre Dame in the final.
Neither fencer could gain a considerable advantage in the championship, as strategy dominated the bout and the clock. In the end, Hurley would hold on for the win with an 8-7 edge as time ran out, giving Mills her third consecutive runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship.
Vloka went to Columbus as the defending women's sabre national champion from 2010 and had a chance to win it again Sunday as she entered the medal round as a No. 3 seed with 19 wins and a +50 scoring index in the round-robin format. The semifinal matchup of Vloka and Duke's Rebecca Ward would ensure the final would not involve both athletes for the first time since 2008. Vloka defeated Ward last season for the title and Ward was the victor in 2009. Sunday, Ward again got the upperhand on her rival, defeating Vloka, 15-11, en route to her second national title.
Kiefer, Mills and Vloka all earned All-American honors for their performances. It was the third such award for Mills and Vloka, neither of whom have finished lower than second at the national championship.
Sophomore Katherine Chou finished 15th in the foil event at her first trip to the national championship. Chou totaled 10 wins over the two-day round-robin competition. Sophomore Felicia Sun finished 23rd in the women's epee at her second NCAA Championship with four wins and 68 touches recorded.
Harvard wound up sixth in the team standings out of 30 programs represented at the championship. The Crimson gathered 137 points over the four days of men's and women's competition. Notre Dame won its fourth combined championship and first since 2005, the season before Harvard won its NCAA title in 2006.

Spain can currently boast of being one of the number one forces in motorcycle racing. Spanish riders are used to frequently stepping up to the podium, and to finishing the world championship seasons among the top rankings. These sporting achievements are reflected in the commitment and support of the sport's loyal fans. They make sure that the spectacle on the track is accompanied by a great atmosphere, both on the stands and outside the circuit.

Why not extend your stay and make the most of the occasion to get to know some of our most beautiful towns and cities. You won't regret it.
Thrills on two wheels
The first World Championship Motorcycle Racing event in the Spanish calendar is the Spanish Grand Prix. It's one of the most popular races in the whole championship and takes place on a legendary track: the Jerez Circuit, in the province of Cadiz . Up to 200,000 spectators come together over the course of the three competition days, although the main event is, without doubt, the Sunday race, which often sees over 120,000 fans fill the stands. This is a unique weekend, where you can savour true passion for motorbikes.
Fans from all over Europe head south to Jerez to cheer on the participants in the Grand Prix and to have a good time inside and outside the circuit. Thanks to the good weather in Andalusia, during the event the streets of the town become one big open-air fiesta, where people share their interest in motorbikes, with improvised races and exhibitions. Also not to be missed are the beaches of Cadiz province, barely half an hour away.
The protagonist of the race
The Catalonia Grand Prix, the Grand Prix of the Region of Valencia and the Aragon Grand Prix are the three other events not to be missed in the Spanish world championship. The first is held at the Catalonia racetrack , in Montmeló, some 30 kilometres outside Barcelona. Don't miss the chance to discover the cultural heritage and lively atmosphere of this cosmopolitan city. The second Grand Prix is the event which closes the world championship in the Ricardo Tormo racetrack in the Region of Valencia in Cheste. Take the chance to discover Valencia, just 28 kilometres away, a beautiful coastal city on the shores of the Mediterranean. Finally the Aragon Grand Prix is held in Alcañiz (Aragón), at the Ciudad del Motor racetrack, and has been part of the international circuit since 2010.
If, besides being a spectator, you want to take part in the action, then sign up for one of the racing days which are frequently arranged at Spain's racetracks. This is a wonderful option to really feel the excitement and to put your bike through its paces. You can check dates, prices and conditions for participation on the website of each racetrack.

In keeping with the yearly tell alls, here is the follow-up to Megan 101 and Megan 201. This installment is called 301 because I have no idea how college courses are numbered, so I'm just winging it- like pretty much every thing else I do in life! Here's to fifty rediculously random facts about yours truly.
1. I like my coffee black and lukewarm.
2. When I first got married, I used my husband as a pillow. Then I got pregnant and needed a real pillow. Then I got pregnant again and needed another pillow to hug up on. Now, I can't sleep unless I have an entire pillow nest built all around me like a fortress.
3. My favorite soup is potato. Which I pronounce PO-TAY-TOE. (You know, the right way)
4. I don't eat tomatoes, but I love ketchup with a passion that is unrivaled.
5. I can not lie down on my left side or I get sick.
6. One of my favorite books of the Bible is James because it is so convicting. I also believe that children should still memorize Bible verses.
7. Most people get more conservative as they get older. I think that I tend to get more socially liberal.
8. I have only read a handful of books in the last year. I used to read at least 3 a week. Now it just takes too much effort to read. And think. Thinking past 8 pm is not allowed in my house.
9. My neighbor and I used to eat each others strands of hair when we were in the first grade. It grosses me all the way out to even think about it, even if she did have the most beautiful hair on the planet. I still can't figure out why we thought that eating each other's hair was a mark of a strong friendship.
10. When I grow up I want to be a midwife, an author, an event planner, a professional reality tv watcher, or an E! News correspondent.
11. My favorite musical artist for the last several years has been Brandi Carlile. Her music is so inspiring to me.
12. My seven year old is smarter than me by leaps and bounds.
13. I'm a morning person. I peak around 11 am. It's all downhill from there.
14. When I was a young kid, I took honesty to the extreme- which explains why my dad wanted to kill me when I went with him to trade in his truck and I said very loudly in front of the dealer, "DAD! Did you remember to tell him that the windows won't roll down and that the brakes don't work and that the door gets jammed?"
15. My family owned a produce market and I worked there all through high school. I loved working there because it meant that I got to spend time with my dad.
16. I wrecked my first car seven times in the first year I had my license. Drive it until the wheels come off is not just an expression.
17. My husband does not allow me to blog about our marriage. Or sex. Those are the only two things off limits.
18. I get really excited when I go to the doctor's office and no one has tackled the Highlights hidden picture page with a pen yet. Seriously- who does that? They ruin it for everyone!
19. I get terrible horrible anxiety about public speaking. Mostly it's because I'm worried that I'll need a translator because of my accent. I almost always can be found puking in the bathroom before a big public talk.
20. I'm a bad prayer. I try really hard to get better at it but it always starts something like this: "God, thank you for these kids. You really blessed me beyond belief with them. Be with Sadie while she takes that big test tomorrow. Oh no? Did I sign her agenda book for school? Wait. Yes, now I remember. I was getting ready to put the laundry in the dryer and then left that to go sign the book. Crap. I should get up and put the laundry in the dryer. No! I'm praying. God..." I need a prayer intervention.
21. I changed my daughter's name when she was 3 weeks old. All of our videos say "Welcome to the world, baby Abby". She even has an "Abby's first Christmas" ornament that we hang on the tree every year. It just never was the right name for her.
22. I spend way too much time on the Internet. I always vow that I will cut back and do something that really matters with my time, but I just find it hard to give up.
23. There are a few websites that I check every morning before my kids get up: Facebook, twitter, People.com, the news in Congo and groupon.
24. My love for Diet Pepsi is unmatched, but my second favorite drink is iced tea sweetened with Stevia.
25. I gain at least five pounds every candy corn season. And yes- in my mind, candy corn has it's own season.
26. I look forward to my children going to school every day, which I'm pretty sure makes me the worst mom ever.
27. I only make my bed when we are having company.
28. When I go to museums or zoos, I like to walk around and get the broad picture. It is in direct conflict with my husband who likes to read every single sign in front of every single exhibit.
29. My love language is "acts of service".
30. I've recently started a collection of nativity sets from all over the world. I always wanted to collect something and this seems like just as good of a thing as any. Right now, I only have sets from Congo, Uganda and Mexico but I really cherish those sets. So if you go somewhere super cool and find a great set, remember me ;-) In my Congolese set, Jesus looks oddly catlike.
31. I went through a serious hippy phase when I was in the eighth grade. It caused me to have the names of my eight hypothetical children written down on a piece of paper. They were all named after flowers: Lily, Daisy, Astor, Ivy, etc. There were seven girls with flower names and one boy named Forest.
32. That brings me to Forest Gump, which was the first movie that I ever saw with a boy (on a group date). I left my hand awkwardly dangling palm up and sweaty during the whole movie and that boy never tried to hold it. It was like sitting through two hours of pure rejection.
33. I had my first kiss on August 10, 1994 when I was thirteen. It happened in my driveway. It was also his first kiss and therefore it will be remembered as the weirdest, most awkward first kiss ever. It truly was the kind of kiss you'd give your grandma. I remembered thinking afterwards, "Why do people even do that? It's so dumb!"
34. I'm allergic to cats, horses and anything that can remotely be classified as nature. I take allergy shots every week as well as gulp down decongestants like they are candy.
35. I spent my entire 20's (and teens) worried about what other people thought about my body. It was a huge waste of time and one of the biggest regrets I have in life.
36. I was in 2 serious and 2 semi-serious relationships before I met and fell in love with my husband.
37. My littlest cousins couldn't say "Megan" when they were small so there was a multi year period of time where everyone in my family called me "Mango".
38. I had lice once in elementary school. It was torturous. I also had big bangs and big bows that I wore in my lice ridden hair.
39. Having both given birth and adopted, I can say without a doubt, that adoption has changed me more and is one of the things that I am most proud of doing with my life.
40. The first song that I ever slow danced to was Celine Dion's "The Power of Love" at a middle school dance. I was embarrassed by that fact, so I told all of my middle school friends at the time that it was "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men. Later in life, that moment would come full circle when I was waiting tables and two of the members of Boyz II Men's band sat at my table. It is one of my only claims to fame.
41. Except for my other claim to fame... when I was 4 my parents were obsessed with the show Hee Haw. We saw Misty Row at Cracker Barrel once and my parents made me go over and get her autograph.
42. I keep all my old love letters in a box and from time to time I pull them out and read them and get such a kick out of teenage romance.
43. People always expect me to be, but I'll just lay it out there: I am NOT funny in person. In fact, for the first several years of our marriage, we joked that there were only three times that I told jokes that were funny enough to make my husband laugh.
44. Also in those early days of marriage, we liked to sit around and make up new words. The are only a few that stuck. One of those is "poonchka" (Which means something that is like a ball, but not really a ball) and "sporangy" (Which means, misty and overcast, but not stormy.) We still use these words in our everyday conversations. Also- I'm still waiting for "What the freckle?!" to catch on. I've always wanted to be someone who started the next big phrase. Who ever came up with "It's the bomb" is my hero.
45. In many ways, as bubble gummy as this will sound, writing this blog saved me. It started at a time in life where I felt lost and hungry for something. It gave me an outlet and made me feel like my voice mattered when I felt like I had lost all the things that made me me. It has helped me make some of the strongest friendships that I have and helped me feel whole in ways that I never thought possible. I am eternally grateful for the people who read it everyday and who take the time to comment and share their lives with me. But I would still keep writing it, even if I was the only person who could see it.
46. Tommy Lee and Anderson Cooper are still on my celebrity crush list, but recently I've added Dr. Drew Pinsky and Robert Downy Jr.
47. My family has been severely affected by the diseases of alcoholism and addiction and I am extremely sypathetic to families who walk that road.
48. I was diagnosed this year with PCOS. Which is a fancy term for crappy ovaries. I now take medication three times a day to keep those girls in check.
49. If I had to chose only one genre of food that I had to eat every day for the rest of my life, I would choose Mexican food.
50. ahhh... 50. Fifty reminds me of the fifty nifty United States song, and the line from Along Came Polly where Ben Stiller screams out "Fifty!" while he's ummm... you know, and the 50 cent song, "In Da Club (It's Your Birthday)" 50 also seems like the very best number to close out a list with. The end. :-)

I'm a molecular biophysicist in a biochemistry department. In a college of medicine. And I'm funded by the NSF. Not too sure my dean likes that... I'm here to blather on about things that interest me and to raise the average age of the bloggers here by at least 1.2567 years. And I'm Australian.
My posts are presented as opinion and commentary and do not represent the views of LabSpaces Productions, LLC, my employer, or my educational institution.
How AAAS and Science magazine really feel about sexual harassment cases in science
Over in the Groups section of LabSpaces there's this Career Networking group. NatC started a discussion there titled "Make it memorable." He asks:
Gerty-Z just wrote a blog post describing 600 applications for a junior faculty position. What strategies do you use to make your application memorable (in a good way)?
I wrote a longish reply that I thought might be of interest to the general readership. So here it is (tweaked and embellished):
I've served on a bunch of search committees and there are two things I come away with every time. First is that there are a lot of people out there who appear incapable of putting together a decent CV/research plan/teaching statement. Second, how the hell did I get a job? Seriously. In many ways it's a crap shoot...
Okay, how do you stand out? Often it comes down to quirks (and sometimes jerks) in the department you're applying to. Do your homework - how would your research fit within the department? You don't have to spend hours on this, but it earns you brownie points if you put something in your cover letter about this. Do you strengthen a particular area within the department? Do you bring new techniques that people there would benefit from? Are there people there you can envisage collaborating with? If you're applying for a position that's specifically targeted towards someone with particular skills or research, how do you fit within that? Put this all in your cover letter (and consider highlighting it somehow in your CV). The cover letter is your first (and in the case of a bad one*, last) chance to really impress the search committee. Yes, you're applying to every position you can, and yes, you have a form cover letter all set up and ready to go, and yes, it would be easy just to change the address on it, print it out and send it in. Don't do it. Take the time to customize your cover letter. If it doesn't impress the search committee there's a reasonable chance they won't bother looking at the rest of your packet. And even if they do, do you really want them starting out with a "ho-hum, yet another application" attitude when they pick up your CV?
Your CV should be easy to follow. Ditch the fancy fonts and colors.* Comic sans will have your application in the round filing cabinet in mere milliseconds. Use white space and 12 point font - no one want to read a dense CV in 10 point font. Remember, the search committee is probably wading through hundreds of these. Design your CV for an exhausted, overworked PI with poor eyesight, a pile of 500 applications to read, and potentially one too many bourbons.** Put the information we want to see up front - education, postdoc training, publications and funding (if any). Teaching experience should come after that. Then put in the "fluff" - awards, society memberships, any administrative stuff you've done etc. It's not that that stuff doesn't help, it's just that it's less important than the other stuff. Have lots of people look at and critique, seriously critique, your CV. Try to get as many faculty at your postdoc institution to look at it as possible.
Guess what? Glamourmag publications aren't everything they're cracked up to be. You absolutely need a good, solid publication record with a good number of first authorships. One Nature first authorship plus three middle authorship papers likely won't outweigh four first authorships in decent (society-level?) journals. The number of authors on a paper can be important too. Personally I would rank a first authorship on a publication with 2-4 authors total in a society-level journal higher than a first authorship on a publication in Cell with 10+ authors (some may disagree with me on this). How much you personally contributed is important. Consider writing a small blurb, just a sentence or two, outlining your contributions under each listed publication. The number of publications you need to be competitive is very field dependent, so I'm not going to offer numbers other than zero is not good.*
Funding helps. If you're in the biomedical fields, a K99 or some kind of development award is a very good thing. But don't despair if you haven't landed one. List any funding you've had - postdoc and grad student fellowships, travel awards etc. And, if you've been applying for funding, let us know even if your applications were trashed (but don't tell us that part!). If you don't have funding, we want to see that you have some track record of at least trying (even if just at the postdoc and grad student fellowship level). My department has hired four people in the last 2.5 years. Two had K99's. Two didn't have any funding to bring with them*** (and beat out applicants that did). Like I said, it helps, but it's not absolutely essential.
Your research plan needs to be well thought out and concise. If you're exceeding five pages it's way too long (remember the exhausted, overworked PI with poor eyesight, a pile of 500 applications to read, and potentially one too many bourbons). You want to highlight why what your are proposing is important, why you're the right person to do it, how you're going to do it, and, importantly, how you plan to fund all this. Actually say where you plan to send proposals and what the proposals will cover. Some people might disagree, but I think doing this shows you've thought about it. If your entire research plan can be covered by a single grant, you're thinking way too small. Be careful in your research plan to make sure you're not proposing to use multi-million dollar fancy equipment not available where you are applying,* unless you can justify this (i.e. through established collaborations).
Don't neglect the teaching statement. This can help even at research-intensive institutions. Outline what teaching you have done. Talk about your approach to teaching and what you would be excited to teach. Don't, under any circumstances, say what you don't want to teach.* Ultimately you will do the teaching you are assigned, like it or not. I found the teaching statement the most painful thing to put together because I lacked real teaching experience. But I guess mine was good enough. Put some thought and effort into it. No one is expecting a work of art, but we do want to see that you realize this is an important part of the job. And please keep it short. Maybe two pages tops (unless it's a primarily teaching position, then it might need to be more substantial).
Most of all, make everything in your application packet clear and easy to follow. Always, always, always put the important stuff up front. I'll be exhausted and overworked, with poor eyesight, have a pile of 500 applications to read, and will have had one too many bourbons when I read it.
* Yes, I've seen multiple publications with this. In some cases, many.
** This is also the person who will be reviewing your grant proposals, so write everything this way.
*** One of these landed an R01 with his first application. It's still very early days for the other - their time in the department is still being measured in weeks.

This is so very awesome, Odyssey, thank you! But couldn't you have posted it before Oct 1 deadlines?
A lot of good advice here, particularly being mindful of the folks reading the pile of apps.
I'm sorry, but any ad that gets 600 aps was either very poorly written or too broad to be of any use to anyone. Search Committees, you get what you deserve if you write an ad like that.
Thanks for the great advice!
btw, i was under the impression that one first-author Nature paper equals 3.24 first-author society journal papers :]
Excellent post mate. Totally inapplicable to me regarding the TT (that ship has sailed, sadly), but still a good reminder for *anyone* on the job market.
Thanks Odyssey, this is useful information!
Fantastic! Thanks!
Regarding the research statement - I've actually had a lot of conflicting advice on how specific to be. Some say be as specific as possible with the research plan, whereas others say big picture questions, methods, how previous work gives you the technical and intellectual basis for research on these quesions, but NOT specific aims/hypotheses/designs.
@PLS: yes, we wrote a broad job advertisement. But on purpose we are a highly diverse department, and we aren't "looking" for anything in particular...just want someone that does smart science. In the area of biology or biochemistry. Hence, the 600 apps. From what I'm told there are always a lot of applications, but this year there are ~150-200 more than normal.
I wonder what this says about the job market?

Look at the place you're applying to. Who are the faculty? Are there experts in your field? If not, then most search committee members can't understand someone else's detailed research plans.
And to say "five pages is way too long" is an understatement. Anyone who plows through a three or four page research statement is obviously a better human being than I am.
@Doctor Zen - you just made my day!
@Doc Zen: And to say "five pages is way too long" is an understatement. Anyone who plows through a three or four page research statement is obviously a better human being than I am.
Depends how compelling it is.
@NatC: Doc Zen is right. Tailor it to the place you're applying and the type of position. For a focused search, more detail is probably good. For a broad search it's better to err on the side of broad brush strokes. Either way, you need to convince people that it's important, doable, you're the right person to do it, and you've thought about how you'll get it funded.

Not sure if this is true for everyone, but a lot of the ads I've applied to have kind of made this decision for me by requesting a "concise" or "one-page" statement (which has to remain broad no matter the expertise of the department) or a "detailed" or "3-4 page" statement (for which I've added a figure and lots more detail).
I have another question for you guys. If a job asks for just a CV - no research statement, no letter, etc - do you still include a brief research statement? I've gone ahead and included a cover letter for these jobs (so far), which gives a very brief overview of my research, but nothing else. Hopefully this was the correct way to go, but let me know if not so I can correct it for future apps! ;P
@Dr. O:
Always include a cover letter. Always. You can promote yourself there in ways that aren't obvious from a CV.
I must say I've never seen an ad that only asks for a CV. They'll ask for a research statement if they're interested. In the future you may want to go ahead and include it with your CV - I can't imagine how that could hurt.
Gerty-Z, as an applicant, I despised those ads that were broad enough to encompass half the world's postdocs. It doesn't matter how broad your department is, if your department is too lazy to hash out what you are looking for in a colleague, it sends a message to applicants that you're not very organized. It also means that you are willing to waste a lot of people's time instead of having an internal conversation. Is that how you want to be perceived? You will likely also be facing the situation of comparing apples and oranges when it comes to you short list, which is also off putting to applicants.
Sure, you'll get plenty of applications, especially in this economy. But I think you will have a lot of recruiting to do on the other end to secure your top candidate.
@PlS: Of course in a very broad department, having the kind of conversation you're advocating could be more painful than simply holding a very broad search. I'm not saying that's the right approach, but it's something to consider.
I have another question for you guys. If a job asks for just a CV - no research statement, no letter, etc - do you still include a brief research statement?
My take on it would be: What is not forbidden, is allowed. If they explicitly say they do not want anything other than a CV, follow the directions. If they say "a CV," then that doesn't rule out including other materials, although you don't want to include so much as to annoy people, so you should be bound be common sense and good taste.
And you know the other thing you might do? Ask! There is usually a search committee chair, and that person is not secret. A short query about anything that's not clear in the ad couldn't hurt.
Thanks Odyssey for this post! I am planning on starting to apply next fall for TT-positions and I am absolutely scared shitless about the whole thing. Not just the application and interviews, but the also the fact that someone may think I can actually run a lab and I might actually get hired somewhere. I am not sure which part scares me more.
Agh-it is the number of authors on papers that I think may screw me up. I am first author with the four other co-PIS (on our grant) and then my boss as corresponding. That is a total of five authors, three continents and five different school affiliations. The other authors do nothing more than edit the manuscript-maybe bring up a few references that I had forgotten and things like that. But no data generation and no real intital stage data analysis, but in the interest of keeping the grant together and playing the politics, my boss feels it prudent to include all the co-PI's. His thinking is that since he only cares about the first and last author when he reads the paper that other people think the same.
@Dr Zeek:
Not just the application and interviews, but the also the fact that someone may think I can actually run a lab...
Hopefully there will be at least two people who think this. One of those needs to be you.
I am first author with the four other co-PIS (on our grant) and then my boss as corresponding.
The key here is that you are first author. In some ways your boss is right - it's the first and last authors that really count. In another way he's not right - handing out guest authorships for political reasons is just plain wrong. Write a short blurb under each listing outlining your contributions. No need to say what the others did (or didn't) do.
One Nature first authorship plus three middle authorship papers likely won't outweigh four first authorships in decent (society-level?) journals. The number of authors on a paper can be important too. Personally I would rank a first authorship on a publication with 2-4 authors total in a society-level journal higher than a first authorship on a publication in Cell with 10+ authors (some may disagree with me on this).
This is absolutely false for job searches in the biomedical sciences at elite institutions.
Also, five pages is absurdly too long for a research plan. Two pages is more than enough. If it takes more than two pages to explain how important your research is, then it probably isn't.
Finally, cover letters don't mean jacke dicke. No one even reads them.
@ Odyssey
Hopefully there will be at least two people who think this. One of those needs to be you.
True, and I am slowly coming to the realization that I can do this (not with out trials and tribulations of course).
In another way he's not right - handing out guest authorships for political reasons is just plain wrong.
Agreed. One of the co-PIs on the grant (a younger, new-i.e. two years into the TT) has a rule about "intellectual contribution" in that while you may not have actually gotten your hands dirty-if you spent anytime in the early planning stages/discussing the data, working out the results with him-you are on the paper. I like this idea a lot more, but as of now I have to follow what my boss fells is necessary to do. It's funny, though, I would expect this "poltical" reasoning more from a new professor, rather than from my 80-year old PI who, after this next set of grant reviews (and once "our" grant is up) has been talking about retiring.
So here is the random question for today that I have seen some people argue about before-- your cover letter-- do you use your current institutions letterhead or no?
So here is the random question for today that I have seen some people argue about before-- your cover letter-- do you use your current institutions letterhead or no?
When I applied it was still largely paper applications. My advisor's secretary wouldn't give me letterhead paper as she said it's not appropriate for job searches. Job hunt is a personal matter and does not fall under official university business. You should however prominently list your current university affiliation/address in your cover letter.
I am also with Dr Zen on the length of the research plan. Anything over 3 pages is too long.
I don't know about biomed, but first authorship papers in good society level journals are highly respected in the physical sciences I am familiar with. But you are expected to have a fair number of them (typically more than 10, but this varies a bit with the field). Postdocs are much shoreter (2 years typical) and in some fields (many engineering disciplines and CS) postdocs are not the norm and you typically look for a TT job straight out of grad school.
This is great advice I think it's key to remember your app will be read quickly and by tired people.
The best asset is a long list of publications, at least some in prestigious journals.
In my field, the cover letter seems to be really important. Separate from the research statement. You have to shine to the top of that pile of applicants with your brilliance without being annoying and pompous. I had my very prolific and successful postdoc advisors help me revise my letter and i was shocked at how obnoxious they made it sound and I got interviews from every job I applied with that letter. So get help. I was apparently being too modest/subtle.
If you're applyin overseas, try to find someone who works in that country and get help from them on your materials. There are some differences in what is expected (and also re: what is considered self promotion vs. obnoxious)
I did use a uni letterhead on applications.
Research statement should not be longer than 2 pages, in my view. Using small amounts of bold or underline to highlight different research areas or sections is a good idea.
If you're applying to a teaching-intensive institution, your teaching experience is critical, and could be the difference between making the short list and making the "might make a decent candidate in a few years" list. Don't bury it behind a list of publications and grant info, unless you want the search committee to think that you aren't interested in being at a school that values teaching.
@PLS. For a tightly-written specific ad, expect to be competing with 90-150 qualified applicants. Better odds, sure, but you'll still need an application that stands out in a good way.
@Odyssey and Comrade.... Some hiring committee members read the CV first; some read the cover letter first. Therefore, both have to kick butt. When I assemble a hiring committee the screening meeting goes like this: okay, everyone, applicant #1 – yes or no? No, okay, done [place application in 'no further discussion' pile]. #2 – everyone says 'yes', great [goes in 'yes' pile]. #3 (the application with a great CV but so-so cover letter) – 3 yes, 2 no – great [goes in 'maybe' pile, which will only get discussed in depth if we don't have enough 'yes' apps to keep us busy]. #4?...
@Prof-like. We use broadly-written ads when we're willing to consider a variety of people/projects. When a department is well-balanced you can be generous and search away. Often what I *really* wish I could ask for is "Wanted: a good colleague. Can work on anything they want but must fit in with our team". (And FYI that's a lot of what I'm looking for in the interview.) So I'm sorry if you consider the broad search a waste of time but there could be a perfectly rational reason for it. If my dept. needs a RNAi researcher, though, that's what I'll advertise for, and won't waste your time.
@Zeek. I consider the # of authors thing to be discipline- or project-specific to some degree. Look, if you contributed to a HUGE project, well, sure, there will be a bunch of authors. And some labs still practice the 'we are a big collaboration' or 'we are super specialized so Dr. X is on every paper that needs technique X" approach so the # AU increases. A mention of this (cover letter, maybe; research proposal, definitely) can explain. In your case, there are 5 authors because you're showing signs that you'll be a real collaborator in the future, and work with labs both within and out of your institution. I wouldn't hold that against you, although others might. Don't knock 'playing politics' – getting a grant with 4 PIs shows some good skills, and was probably a way to get funding when applying alone wouldn't have gotten it. Remember, it's publish or perish out there. Your PI sounds like s/he could teach you some great stuff about politics.
While preparation of a well crafted application package for a faculty research position is critical, applicants must also suitably prepare themselves well in advance for such an undertaking. If the applicant does not have the requisite training with clear evidence of research, teaching and management ability, then he or she should acquire such capabilities first. The applicant's publication record will carry the most weight, and it is not desirable that these arise primarily from work with a single mentor. The post-doctoral experience provides the best opportunity to acquire these vital skills. Four to five years of post-doctoral training is the minimum that I would recommend in view of the challenges in successfully running a laboratory as an independent investigator.
@ Searching-- Oh yes, I do agree about my current boss teaching me a lot about politics. I have already learned a ton about "playing the game" from him (and Lord knows he has been around here enough to know all the tricks--when you are at an institution for over 50 yrs-you tend to see a lot come through the doors). There are a few, unbloggable issues with the authorship lists that I think also adds to my cynicism about the entire situtaion.
Another random question for the older (erm-more experienced) and wiser out there. What exactly should be in you research plan?
No, wait, let me clarify. When someone says to me write a "research plan" for your lab I am thinking NIH style specific aims/approach sort of thing --here is what I want to do, here is why it is cool, here is how we will do it.
So, someone gives me their research plan and the first page and a half is all about their previous experience/projects that they had worked on/etc (a lot of fluff-not a lot of "stuff"). Then there is two pages of actual science but nothing that really relates the two. Isn't the cover letter that no one reads (haha) where you are supposed to talk about how awesome you are and why you are a good fit and the research plan where you justify things? Or am I just way off base?
By the way-these posts and comments have been awesome.
Dr Zeek, this might vary by field, but the advice I was given is that the research statement should *integrate* your experience and future plans. So talk about the projects you want to undertake, but also why your training has made YOU the person to do these projects. I think actual specific aims would be too specific, but again, that could vary.
Ahhh, ok see that is why I got somewhat confused. Integration is the keyword here. There was no integration in this. Which worried me that I was thinking about this all wrong.
Thanks for the post! Very helpful.

It's my hair. I have effed it up. Effed is not a strong enough word, but I am trying to remain calm.
About 6 weeks ago I walked into the salon and told Maggie (my hairdresser) that I wanted to go blonder. I find that the more weight I gain, the blonder I want my hair to be. Perhaps to counteract the cellulite? Who knows. And I also went all psychotic and told her that I wanted BANGS. What was I thinking? I hadn't had bangs since...
...since little girls evidently dressed like pilgrims and their mothers dressed in
slinky off the shoulder dresses in the background circa 1988
I made the decision and followed through with it. I got bangs. And I came home and took a picture to send to a friend and I LOVED them... for about 24 hours.
After that I was soooooo over them. They wouldn't lay right, they stuck out and made my cowlicks have cowlicks and it was just awful. I thought about cutting them off at the scalp and pretending like it was just a bad dream. I decided that I would just have to wait it out and let them grow back. I was good for a couple of weeks and then my bad hair juju started to get to me and since I couldn't change my bangs I decided to change my hair color. Since I had just paid a ton of money at the salon a few weeks prior, I decided that this would be a do it yourself experiment. I picked up a bottle of color and came home and slapped it on. (Mistake number 1) It turned a dreadful shade of orange. I ran right back out to the store and picked up another bottle of color. (mistake number 2) It turned my hair red instead of the beautiful warm brown ash it said on the box. Damn box full of lies. You would think that I would have learned after two failed attempts that a third would NOT be good, but I am slow to pick up these life lessons. A few days later, I picked up another bottle of color (mistake number 3) and went at it again. It made my hair only a slightly less disgusting shade of reddish funkiness and completely fried it like a chicken.
I have very thick hair. Typically, in between cuts, I'll pick up my thinning shears and pull some of the heaviness out of my hair. It was time to do that little trick on my reddish atrocity. I thought that I picked up the thinning scissors. In error, I picked up the regular scissors and proceeded to cut a giant chunk out of the side of my hair. (mistake number 4). It was very, very horrible. I may have panicked a bit. I mean, first the God forsaken color and then this- the cut heard round the neighborhood. In my panic, I thought, I can salvage this! If only I thin out the chunk, it won't be as noticeable! (Mistake number 357)
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuudge. Thinning out the chunk did not salvage it! (Now I seriously wonder why I ever thought it would.) And now that it has rained for a solid week and the humidity has taken over- my hair has been thinned and chunked and fried to the point that it just sticks up all over the place on the left side. In fact, my hair now sounds like something you'd order at waffle house (I'll have the hair scattered, smothered, fried and chunked please.) No amount of heat or hairspray can tame it. It is taking on a life of it's own.
|It's very, very, very scary. I want to crawl in a cave full of m&m's and not come out until St. Patty's Day. While in the cave I'm going to shout obsenities to make myself feel better. SOB will echo nicely off of cave walls, I'm sure.
I have thought many times over the course of this debacle (that has now been three weeks in the making) that I should call the hairdresser and make an appointment for an emergency haircut. Only the hair has already been cut, so maybe I'll just call her and scream "EMERGENCY" into the phone and see what happens.
Let this be a lesson unto thee. Do not cut your own hair. There is a reason that people go to school for years to learn how to do it! I'm going to start introducing myself as "Megan- the cautionary tale for self created hair disasters."
I will be the one wearing a hat to family functions unless a Christmas miracle occurs. This is the one that I have my eye on. I think it will be actually less noticeable than the look that I am currently sporting.
Baz Luhrmann once said, "Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85." I hear you now, Baz! Oh boy, do me and my 85 year old hair hear you now!

"The crew land on Anaeron to deliver their cargo only for the Captain and River to be caught up in an ambush."

their cargo only for the Captain and River to be
caught up in an ambush."

A "Firefly" Story
Written by Alison M. DOBELL
* * * * *
He understands. Knows. And it's not something he has to learn or be told. It's instinctual, a knowledge held soul deep to the core of him. A sanctuary where words lie unspoken like sunlight absorbed directly through the skin, no translation necessary. Fury is but one point of the compass and right now he has no time for it. Is more annoyed at himself than the situation they find themselves in for not anticipating that the milk run would go so far south but he is the Captain and they look to him to not only lead but to keep them safe.
"Big mistake threatening members of my crew."
The man was huge, tall as a beanpole but broad with it. The ugly mask he called a face was twisted into a mean and spiteful grimace that merely accentuated every nasty angle until even the gaps shone with malice. "She's crazy. Should be happy we're takin' her off your hands."
The Captain didn't care that every gun was cocked and pointed in his direction. Took no more notice of the fact that he was surrounded than if he were taking a stroll in a gorram park. Admittedly a rutting deadly one filled with all manner of evil beasts masquerading as human gorram beings. And they called River crazy? "She's on my crew."
For a moment there was a cold icy silence. You could have heard a pin drop. Without blinking the Captain continued, voice deceptively low, mild and calm. It was almost hypnotic.
"But there's an upside."
The big man looked a mite nonplussed, a wary look creeping over his features. "There is?"
Malcolm Reynolds smirked but there was no humour in it. "It'll be the last gorram mistake you'll ever make."
The big man, Arran Burke had been told Reynolds was a tricky one but hadn't expected him to open fire while standing within a circle of fifteen of his best mercenaries. The thing was Burke was big and mean and as deadly as a heart attack but he lacked enough smarts to realise that a gun battle would take out more of his own men than Serenity's crew, especially as most were in hidden positions up in the rocks leaving only the Captain and River Tam exposed. That little oversight would be dearly paid for.
The tuck and roll as his gun hand came free saved the Captain from being drilled and spilled with the first volley of shots. Cries rang out as the thugs found most of their bullets sailing over the place where Mal had been standing and finding targets from among their own ranks. Burke swore and cursed, quickly switching his handgun for a sniper's rifle, determined to take out Reynolds if it was the last thing he did. Delaney and Reed had River tangled in a net but as soon as the shooting started the girl somehow sprang up out of it and used the net to snag Thompson, quickly disarming him and shooting the man through the head with his own weapon before taking out Delaney. Reed managed to duck but there was nowhere for him to hide. The ambush had been perfectly sprung making sure Mal and River were out in the open before firing the net and capturing River. It had been child's play to quickly surround the Captain but to their surprise the man had neither panicked nor shown any sign of giving up. The stiff necked *hundan* had acted calm as you please as if they were the ones making the biggest mistake of their lives.
With all the dust they were kicking up in that sand bowl it wasn't long before visibility became an issue. At first welcome then quickly cursed.
Zoe didn't like the fact that she could no longer see the Captain and had to guess where River might be. Suddenly the girl popped up beside her position behind the boulder. "If Serenity comes in low the dust will be cleared by the downdraught. Will also provide a diversion." River paused for a half second. "We'll need goggles."
It was on the tip of Zoe's tongue to tell River they didn't have any but the girl was a genius and Zoe couldn't see clearly enough to be sure of hitting one of Burke's men and not the Captain so even without eye protection it was the only plan they had. She clicked her hand held com, reassured as always when Wash answered right away. "*Zhangfu*, need you to come in low over this dust storm. Can't see a thing worth a gorram."
His cheery voice lifted her spirits. "Your wish is my command, *bao bei*."
Minutes later the distinctive sound of the Firefly's engine had Burke's men looking up, shielding their faces and raising their weapons. Wash brought her down low, a few foolish men wasting ammo firing up at the ship in panic but it was enough of a distraction for the Captain to slip away and head for the rocky ground where his crew were busy taking pot shots. Really, it was a crap shoot. Jayne whooped every time he took one down but Mal didn't have the heart to berate him, just relieved they were able to turn the tables on the sumbitches. He looked around, caught Zoe's eye and frowned.
"Where's Burke?"
"Ugly big *tamade hundan* about seven feet high with a face that would curdle new milk."
She glanced across the clearing. A clearing where the sand was quickly turning blood red and filling with the bodies of the fallen mercenaries. One or two looked more wounded than dead. The Captain's lips thinned into a hard unforgiving line. "Don't kill 'em!"
Jayne looked pissed, he had been lining up a head shot. "Why the *diyu* not?"
"Dead men don't talk, Jayne."
Zoe didn't turn her head to look at the mercenary over on her left but neatly took out one of the men trying to circle round their position. "Cap'n wants to know who hired 'em, Jayne."
"Hell," grumbled the mercenary "I can tell ya that."
The Captain took his eyes off the killing ground and stared at him. "You can?"
"Yeah. Badger."
It would have been easy to assume that was the case but it didn't feel right. Burke had made a point of saying they wanted to take River off his hands which meant she had been singled out. As loathsome a creep as Badger could be the little King-pin actually seemed to have a soft spot for River and while he would happily put Malcolm Reynolds and his crew in harm's way he didn't think Badger would want anything to happen to his little albatross. Unless he was wanting Burke to bring the girl to him. Well now. That was a disturbing notion.
In the end none of the mercenaries they had taken down lived. The two wounded ones the Captain had told Jayne not to kill were dead anyway by the time they got to them. The puzzle was not the neat round bullet holes in the middle of their foreheads but who had fired them. With all their enemies dead but one he had to wonder. Had Burke hung back long enough to silence anyone he couldn't take with him? And if so, what was so gorram important that he would take the lives of his own men before letting a word spill past their lips? The Captain didn't say anything to the others, they did not have the time to hang around and speculate and his thoughts were too dark for company. He gave the word to take off and Wash shook the dust of Anaeron off both ship and crew. Not a one of them would miss it.
"*Fasheng shenme shi le*?"
"They caught us in a ruttin' crossfire, *laoban*."
"I gave you one simple job..."
"It wasn't our fault! We got the girl, had Reynolds in our sights but then the *shenjingbing tamade hundan* opened fire on us."
"Are you trying to tell me you and your men were bested by ONE man?"
Burke realised what he had said, how it sounded, but couldn't find a way to make it sound less damning. "Man ain't right in the head. Acted as if we were the ones outnumbered not him."
The *laoban* did not look impressed. "Maybe he was thinking you were – in the brains department."
The big man's eyes narrowed but he at least was smart enough not to voice what he was thinking. The boss watched him closely and when it became clear that Burke was not going to say anything he gave a small nod. Good. The man was learning, just not fast enough for his liking. Still. Mercenaries were useful but only so long as they were competent. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't cut my losses?"
"*Wo bu dong, laoban*."
"Why I shouldn't put a bullet in what passes for that brain of yours."
All of a sudden, big and mean as he was, Burke felt hideously vulnerable. Frightened in a way that made his mouth go dry. He looked down, noticed he was standing on a large sheet of thick cellophane sheeting. Through the clear material he could see the colour and pattern of the expensive hand made Chinese rug. He knew what that meant. One word and it would be his shroud.
"Give me another chance."
Burke forgot to be afraid, his anger at Reynolds strengthening his resolve as he relived what had happened. "I got a score to settle only this time he won't see it comin'."
"Your vengeance matters nothing to me. Get me the girl and this..." he paused to wave a hand dismissively "will all be forgotten."
"I'll need to hire some more men."
The boss said nothing. Something in his dead eyes chilled the mercenary more than failing.
"Or," he conceded "I could see to it personally."
"However you seek to accomplish it, do not fail me again."
"I can't believe it!"
The Captain resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Simon Tam. He was in the commons room with the rest of the crew either taking up seats round the table or coming to join them. Shepherd Book seemed amused. Behind Simon his sister smirked. Too smug by half.
"What, you want me full of gorram holes?"
The doctor's mouth opened and closed a couple of times then he shook his head before speaking. "No, of course not, it's just... I should put this in my diary."
Malcolm Reynold's eyes narrowed dangerously but before he could do or say anything that might threaten harm Inara handed him a mug of tea. His eyes met hers briefly. The smile was radiant and as beautifully crafted as her attire, make up and every move she made. The woman was a consummate professional at appearing to be whatever she chose or needed to be. He wished for the hundredth time that she could just be Inara Serra. Her own self not the schooled fabrication of the gorram Guild. But that was not his call to make let alone his business. It left a bitter taste but better to accept the things he could not change and move on. Woman was confusing enough without picking through her wiles. She was also something of a friend though both had their prickly side which like as not meant they clashed as often as got along. Sometimes it wearied him but at others he relished the confrontation, looked forward to needling her as much she did him. It was afterwards, in the still quiet moments of ship's night when the crew were in their bunks sleeping and he was checking his boat before calling it a night that he would reflect on the events of the day and feel a ghost of sadness settle over his heart. It was stupid, foolish, and a road he in no way was equipped to walk let alone survive. Her world was all sharp angles and hidden meanings, one his longing for truthsomeness would always be left wanting. Better to leave that path to those who traded in subtle lies. Folk not him. He could look though. Consider and permaybehaps mourn a little the loss of something that would never be his. Not for his own sake but hers for she could be so much more. That Inara would never see it saddened him most of all.
He sighed. Nandi had known. Had been smarter than all of them but he had not been able to save her. The loss cut him deep.
He shook himself out of his reverie, surprised to find that Inara had moved on and was now chatting and laughing with Kaylee. Jayne was regaling Book with the finer points of their narrow brush with death and Zoe passed with two mugs on her way to the bridge.
"You need somethin', Simon?"
"Are you sure you're alright, Captain?"
"*Dang ran*, just thinkin' is all."
For moment it looked as if the doctor didn't quite believe him but after a moment Simon nodded and went over to where Kaylee and Inara were sitting at the table chatting like old friends. He smiled as Kaylee's face lit up, her hand patting the empty chair next to her. The Captain pursed his lips together and decided it was time to talk to Badger.
He is scaring her now because he doesn't see the malignancy of his own excess. The madness that is his crowning glory savouring in slow swallows the waters of her defeat. She would have begged for mercy but that would be to prolong the agony and she had been hurting for so long. He did not leave a mark upon her. No outward sign of the degradation and trauma inflicted upon her without let. The walls of the oubliette confined not just her but him. How twisted that he should climb down into her hell hole to finish this rather than raise her up to the light. Or was that the point? She had held out, denied him, and this was his punishment. Cruel and perverse but soon to be ending.
"You cannot escape me." He said softly.
The words shivered through her like a cold icy wind, carrying the last of the warmth from both body and soul. "I don't know anything."
Her broken words were meaningless to him. A bird without wings. "I will be with you always."
The thought terrified her more than dying. That he had invaded her mind so effortlessly, stripped her memories and feelings down to the raw nerve endings and then left her exposed in a ruthless agony he could end in a heartbeat. That he chose not to told her everything about the monster who would give her no rest. No respite. A slow evil smile stole across mirthless lips and warped the once handsome face into the kind of disfigurement that went beyond the flesh. So, she thought as her soul wailed in torment and horror. This was what Death looked like.
"Badger, we need to talk."
The little king-pin gave the Captain a suspicious look, eyes narrowing. "*Zenmele*?"
"Nothing went wrong my end that is until the mercenaries jumped us on Anaeron."
Badger sat up straight, alarm on his face, eyes wide and anxious. "You lost my gorram cargo?" He accused.
The Captain felt something inside loosen a mite. "*Bu qu*, still got the cargo. *Fang xin*."
"Then what the good gorram you talkin' about?"
"Someone tried to grab a member of my crew. Would you be knowin' anythin' about that?"
"What you talkin' about, Reynolds? If you ain't delivered the cargo you're behind schedule. Delays cost money, *dong ma*?"
"Aren't you curious?"
"About what?"
"Who jumped us an' why?"
"I'm guessin' you got more enemies that I could shake a stick at. Just deliver the gorram cargo, *mashang*!"
The screen went black. For a moment the Captain just sat there and stared at it. Wash and Zoe exchanged a look.
"Badger isn't behind this, Zoe. Whatever else that slimy toad is up to it isn't this."
"He may still know something."
"What makes you say that?"
Wash looked thoughtful. "He didn't ask who the mercenaries tried to snatch."
That had also occurred to Mal but he wasn't about to mention it. Could just be that Badger only thought about what concerned him and that was getting his goods transported and making money. Speaking of which they were like to die poor if they didn't deliver their own selves. "Set a course, Wash."
"Where to?"
Zoe's face darkened. "We can't go back, sir. They tried to kill you."
"Nearly succeeded too but they weren't after me, Zoe. They wanted River."
"Then why go back? Burke is still out there and probably waiting for us to do just that."
"Only we have the advantage."
Wash looked surprised. "We do?"
They both ignored him.
"He won't be expecting us to go back."
"That's 'cause he ain't *chun*."
They turned their heads to see Jayne in the doorway, a sour look on his face. "Jayne, what did I tell you about eavesdroppin' on other folks' conversations?"
"Just sayin' is all. We got lucky this time Mal, might not if we go back."
That gave the Captain pause. It wasn't like Jayne to walk away from a fight. "There somethin' you wanna be tellin' me, Jayne?" He asked quietly.
The big man took a slow deep breath, as if needing to steady himself before replying. It made the hairs on the back of the Captain's neck stand on end. "Yeah. I took a look at those dead mercenaries just in case one was still breathin'."
"Recognised some of 'em, Mal. Whatever's goin' on is bad an' the fact that Burke finished off the two that weren't dead so's they couldn't talk should be settin' off all kinds of alarm bells for you too."
"Let's get back to you recognisin' 'em. Who are they Jayne?"
"You ain't gonna like it."
"I like not knowin' even less."

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field of discovery.
Scientists and technicians working in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, information technology, and other fields are contributing to today's nanotechnology research - research that is leading to the development of tomorrow's breakthrough applications and products.
Basic Research & Development (R&D) in nanotechnology involves understanding and controlling matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers - microscopic levels where unique phenomena enable novel applications.
This work uses highly specialized, precision equipment such as electron, atomic, and scanning tunneling microscopes to machinery that is capable of making these extraordinarily small new products.
Basic R&D in nanotechnology is being conducted by the private sector, research universities, and the federal government - with the government playing an important role in this effort.
The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), for example, is a federally funded R&D program established to coordinate multi-agency efforts in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology; and includes the participation of 23 different federal agencies.
In addition to its coordination role, the NNI helps by funding basic research, providing funds to establish and support university and government laboratories, and contributing to the educational preparation needed to build a nanotechnology workforce.
The National Science Foundation provides support for the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). Led by Cornell University, the Network is comprised of 13 major research universities that form an integrated, nationwide system of facilities to support research and education in nanoscale science, engineering and technology. R&D user centers and facilities also contribute valuable laboratory space to aid in the nation's nanotechnology R&D effort.
U.S. nanotechnology R&D continues to grow, and thus it will continue to require thousands more scientists and technicians in the years ahead.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's volleyball team will square off with cross-town rivals Northeastern and Boston College this weekend as part of the second-annual New England Challenge. The Crimson will first take to the court against the Huskies Saturday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. before doing battle with Boston College Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. Northeastern and BC will meet in the first match of the tournament Friday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.
Both Northeastern and Boston College will be providing live video streams and live stats throughout the weekend. Fans can access both through the links above.
Ivy League Digital Network
For the first time ever, each of Harvard's 11 home matches will be streamed in HD quality featuring a live scoreboard, new graphics package and play-by-play commentary through the Ivy League Digital Network. Subscribers to the network can watch matches both live and On-Demand at their convenience, and will have access to live and On-Demand content for all home Harvard athletics events throughout the duration of their subscription.
Follow Harvard Athletics on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay connected with all the breaking news from around Cambridge and to get inside access to your favorite Crimson programs.
Last Time Out
The Harvard women's volleyball team totaled 13 aces en route to a 3-0 sweep over UMass Lowell Tuesday night at the Malkin Athletic Center. The Crimson took the match by set scores of 25-16, 25-13 and 25-13.
Harvard's 11 aces were the most since notching 11 in a 3-2 win over Columbia in 2010. Freshman Corinne Bain led the way with a career-high seven while classmate Grace Weghorst matched her career-high with three. Sophomore Caroline Holte paced the offense with eight kills and Weghorst added six while hitting .545 and .556, respectively. Bain dished out 16 assists and split setting duties with sophomore Hannah Schmidt, who finished with 15 helpers.
Senior Natalie Doyle paced the Crimson defense with 14 digs. The Riverhawks' .067 hitting percentage was the lowest total for a Harvard opponent this season.
Fast Start
At 4-2, the Crimson has matched the program's best record to start a season under head coach Jennifer Weiss, who is in her 21st year at the helm, and has equaled the program's best start since going 7-1 to open the 1984 campaign.
With a 3-0 mark at home, the Crimson has posted its best home record since 2004 when Harvard won six straight en route to a 7-1 record at the MAC.
Serving Up Aces
Harvard scored 13 aces in a straight set victory over UMass Lowell, marking the most aces for a Crimson squad since 2003, the last year for which match-by-match statistics are available. Freshman Corinne Bain tallied seven aces in the victory, again the most for the Crimson since 2003.
Bain has turned in a total of 18 aces already on the young season, putting her just 14 shy of entering Harvard's single-season top 10.
Coming Out Party
Corinne Bain was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Sept. 9 after leading the Crimson to a 2-0 record at the eighth annual Harvard Invitational.
Bain made an immediate impact in her collegiate debut as the Crimson came from behind for a 3-2 win over Holy Cross. The freshman finished with 10 kills, 31 assists and nine digs, narrowly missing out on a triple-double. She also scored three aces and three blocks against the Crusaders while hitting .333. Bain and her teammates returned to the court the following day to defeat Hofstra, 3-1, thanks in part to her eight-kill, 28-assist, nine-dig effort which also included four aces and three blocks.
Corinne Bain (2.00 kps, 6.56 aps, 2.00 dps), Kathleen Wallace (2.22 kps, .255 hitting percentage) and Caroline Walters (1.33 bps, 1.78 kps) were each named to the Harvard Invitational All-Tournament Team after guiding the Crimson to a pair of wins. Wallace and Walters were also named to the all-tourney team a year ago while Bain, a freshman, received the honor for the first time.
Wallace earned all-tournament recognition at the Holiday Inn Mission Valley Aztec Invitaitonal after notching 2.15 kps while hitting .299 on the weekend.
Protecting the Net
Harvard dominated the net in its first two matches, posting 17 total blocks in a pair of victories. The Crimson entered the week ranked No. 22 in the NCAA in blocks per set (2.77) while Caroline Holte (1.29) stands 46th on the individual list, respectively.
2013 Double-Doubles
Career Double-Doubles
Scouting Northeastern (4-6)
Northeastern went 1-2 at last weekend's Aztec Invitational to fall to 4-6 on the season. The Huskies are led on offense by Kelly Bacon who has averaged 3.23 kps and Hanna Gibeau who sports a 2.06 kps average. Ina Kamenova and Jamie Bredahl have split the setting duties, averaging 5.65 kps and 4.79 kps, respectively. On the defensive side of the net, Natalie Skiba's 6.12 dps are good for second in the NCAA with Alexa Armstrong and Nichole Kurz contributing 0.98 bps and 0.93 bps, respectively.
Scouting Boston College (8-2)
Boston College enters the weekend with an 8-2 overall record having won six straight matches. Katy Workman boasts a 4.57 kps average and has hit .261 on the year. Amanda Yearke, meanwhile, has chipped in 2.30 kps with Melissa McTighe adding 2.08 kps. Kellie Barnum has dished out 8.63 aps as Jackie Bowman has added 4.80 aps. The Eagle defense is led by Barbara Gonzalez's 1.04 bps average with McTighe (0.95 bps) and Madisen Lydon (4.43 dps) also contributing to the effort.
Welcome Back
Harvard returns 10 letterwinners to the court in 2013 including co-captains Kristen Casey and Natalie Doyle. Casey, who played outside hitter as a freshman but made the transition to libero as a sophomore, will return to the outside as a six-rotation player for the Crimson. Doyle, meanwhile, will be relied upon in the back row after averaging 2.39 dps a year ago.
Also returning for the Crimson is Caroline Walters (1.06 bps), an All-Ivy League second team performer in 2012, Erin Cooney (2.14 kps), Caroline Holte (1.00 bps), Hannah Schmidt (4.78 aps), Teresa Skelly (0.88 bps) and Kathleen Wallace (2.81 kps).
New To The Scene
Earlier this summer, head coach Jennifer Weiss announced the addition of five freshmen for 2013; Corinne Bain, Whitney Hansen, Jane Labanowski, Danielle Leavitt and Grace Weghorst. This group, which represents California, Florida and Texas, has combined for three state championships, eight district championships and seven league championships.

On The Sidelines
Head coach Jennifer Weiss returns for her 21st season at the helm of the Harvard women's volleyball program. Weiss owns a 251-293 record on the sidelines and guided Harvard to its only Ivy League championship in 2004. She has mentored 48 All-Ivy honorees, five Ivy League Rookie of the Year recipients and coached the program's first two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in Kaego Ogbechie '05.
Weiss is joined this season by first-year assistants Arturo Rivera and Jeffrey Aucoin.
