There will be signs posted!
In addition to free pizza and good company, expect some healthy rational competition in the first-ever Cognitive Olympics, after which the contestant demonstrating the most gripping control over her or his own mind will be crowned Bloomington's Greatest Rationalist! And this contestant will win a fabulous prize fit for a rational thinker.
SOCS is a community for students interested in cognitive science and related fields: philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, anthropology, education, mathematics and more!
The club is open to majors and non-majors.
Weekly meetings are held every Tuesday at 5:30pm. Meetings include discussion of articles and TED Talks bearing on exciting current issues in the sciences of mind, as well as free pizza!

Volunteer Opportunity for Students Interested in Social Work
Are you interested in a career in social work?
New Leaf - New Life is seeking volunteers to assist with a community transition program for inmates at the Monroe County Corrections Center. This program is intended to help soon-to-be-released inmates prepare for their transition back into the community. Upon release, inmates often lack basic resources such as appropriate clothing, housing, and medical services and may need assistance seeking employment and education. We are currently looking for volunteers to work with transition counselors outside the jail by researching and coordinating resources for individual inmates in the program.
This is a excellent opportunity to gain experience with social work and to make a considerable impact in the lives of people in need. New Leaf - New Life is a Bloomington-based organization, dedicated to transformational change in our criminal justice system through volunteer action. Additional information about New Leaf - New Life is available at the following url: http://www.newleaf-newlife.org/
Please contact John Putz (John.Putz@centerstone.org) or Sarah Forster (sarforst@indiana.edu) if you are interested in this exciting volunteer opportunity!

Full-Time Research Assistant
Full-Time Research Assistant - Goldin-Meadow laboratory at the University of Chicago
The Language Development Project at The University of Chicago seeks a full-time research assistant to join our team starting this summer. We are looking for a highly motivated person with an interest in gesture to assist in the coding and analysis of gesture and speech in young children and their parents. The project is part of a longitudinal study of language development in children from the Chicago area. The position will involve video coding of gesture during parent-child interactions as well as participation in the analysis of data and communication of results.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong interest in language development who will take advantage of the opportunity to participate in all stages of the research process. In addition to coding gesture, the research assistant will work closely with a postdoctoral scholar on the project to identify, address, and analyze targeted questions about the role of parent and child gesture at different stages of language acquisition. Prior research experience with gesture, movement, or facial expression is desirable but not required.
This position is especially appropriate for candidates who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in developmental psychology. We seek candidates who are able to commit to spending at least 12 months in this position.
For more information about our lab, see http:/ldp.spc.uchicago.edu.
Inquiries can be directed to Erica Cartmill (cartmill@uchicago.edu).

Motorists should expect delays traveling to IU Bloomington commencement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 3, 2011
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Highway construction on the north side of Bloomington is expected to cause traffic delays for Indiana University Bloomington commencement ceremonies this weekend.
IU officials are encouraging graduates' friends and family members, especially those coming from the north, to allow extra time for the drive and to be patient. Motorists may want to take an alternative route to avoid the intersection of North College Avenue and Ind. 46.
Print-Quality Photo
Because of construction, traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction at the intersection of College Avenue and the Ind. 46 Bypass. Motorists attempting to reach Assembly Hall from north of Bloomington via the College Avenue or Ind. 46 exit from Ind. 37 are likely to experience delays.
On Saturday, officers with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department will assist IU Police Department officers in directing and regulating traffic and parking, said IUPD Chief Keith C. Cash. Officers will be stationed at heavily traveled intersections near Assembly Hall to keep traffic moving.
Additional information and directions are available at http://www.indiana.edu/~bypass/.
Commencement ceremonies for Indiana University Bloomington graduates will take place Friday (May 6) and Saturday (May 7) at Assembly Hall (1001 E. 17th St., Bloomington, IN 47408). They include:
Friday, 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m.: Graduate Student Commencement Ceremony
Saturday, 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for business, education, HPER, music, nursing, public and environmental affairs and social work
Saturday, 3 p.m.-4 p.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for arts and sciences, continuing studies, informatics and computing, journalism and optometry
While there is a 3 -hour gap between the two Saturday ceremonies, graduates and some audience members will begin arriving early for the afternoon ceremony. Congestion can be reduced if those who attend the morning ceremony don't linger at Assembly Hall but travel to other locations on campus or in Bloomington to celebrate graduation.
For more information, see the IU Office of Ceremonies website, http://www.indiana.edu/~ceremony/. A news release with additional information about Indiana University commencement ceremonies is at http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/18144.html.
