Hi all, Provided that campus is open from 10am onward tomorrow, here's a quick reminder about the seminar tomorrow, which will be a panel with several of our robotics faculty. If campus ends up closed during the usual seminar time, we will cancel tomorrow's seminar. Looking forward to next week's seminar as well, which will be a visit from Dr. Tom Williams of Colorado School of Mines on February 21. While Tom is in town, he'll also be performing with his musical improv group at Singu-hilarity, a robot-themed comedy variety show at the Majestic Theater, on February 22: https://www.facebook.com/events/1387382752247623<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fevents%2F1387382752247623&data=05%7C02%7Crobotics-seminar%40engr.oregonstate.edu%7C15cfecfa1c674cc426f108dd4c91a8ee%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638750910655920879%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=jKXiSkCmh4CEm1CXpzXNTzXdCjDhk3fvW9Zr8ndYMFg%3D&reserved=0>. It usually sells out in advance, so make sure to plan ahead if you want to join in and see Tom in action in both his academic and extracurricular spheres!

Our speakers for this week will be our very own Drs. Julie Adams, Kagan Tumer, and Cindy Grimm with a panel and Q&A related to robotics funding and our program culture. We organized this seminar in part to have a forum for discussing some of the student body's response to Ghost Robotics' visit in the fall, as well as to have an important check-in on program culture elements like being present in student desk areas and lab spaces. As a reminder, everyone is expected to come to the seminar. We’ve got a strict no-device policy. We also have, as always, coffee and coffee cake. For the winter term, we're in Rogers Hall 230. Seminar is at 10am Friday. See you then! Cheers, Naomi
