EL Alliance August 14th
From Computational Cell Biology
Notes:
Computer Science group- higher education focused. Thoughts were to bring students together for a symposium focused on students across universities perhaps lead by ELA (IEEE, ACM chapters-meets periodically at MIT-not sure size). Tim is going to host a computer science chairs meeting and introduce meeting in the context of a chairs meeting.
Bring K-12 students on campus.
Strategies for inclusion were disucssed that people are already involved in.
How to go to grad school: Has graduate opportunities for people in computing. REU's
K-12 Bring college kids to K-12 campuses with a focus on advising rather than guest speaking. Tufts has a program like this.
Take a kid/parent to school.
Undergraduate advising and community building: Student symposium across universities to support students meeting each other and graduate students and advisors.

Raquell M. Holmes received her Ph.D. from the Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology program at Tufts Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences in Boston, MA. After completing her postdoctoral studies at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, she joined the Center for Computational Science at Boston University as program manager for the Education Outreach and Training Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (EOT-PACI).
Dr. Holmes has worked with education, outreach and training programs around the country to develop diverse communities capable of creating and using relevant emerging technologies. She holds two appointments as Assistant Professor, one at Boston University and the other at University of Connecticut Health Center.
Dr. Holmes has recently published _A Cell Biologist's Guide to Modeling and Bioinformatics_published by Wiley and Sons.
