[BIC-announce] Introducing The BIC Lounge 1.0: art competition + BIC Coffee Travel Awards

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Me again:

It is my pleasure to announce the unofficial opening of our new and grand BIC-Lounge 1.0. It is located by the NW123/125 meeting rooms.

It's just version 1.0 for now: one coffee table and a couple of floor lamps are on their way. A bar table will be attached to the wall on the left by January: we already have the bar-stools though ;) A coffee machine will be installed shortly as well. Special thanks to Hélène Day for her help here.

The walls need to be decorated and I need your contribution to feature *your* artwork, hence...

Please submit entries to the BIC Art Competition (directly to me via email; everyone can send out multiple entries): could be brain/neuro pictures from your work or any of your personal/artistic/creative/recreational attempt. We also accept other forms of original artwork: sculptures, paintings, drawing,etc.

Grand prize is $150 w/ largest possible print/size that fits in the room
Other 4 best entries will share $400 and will also be featured in the lounge or elsewhere (visible) at the BIC.

*******Deadline for submission: NOVEMBER 1st a 11:59pm.

One more thing: we've been spending about $500/month on coffee, probably catering to the rest of the Neuro and beyond, up to Chicoutimi . We are going to switch to 50-cents a cup shortly. All profits (~25 cents a cup) will go the BIC Coffee Travel Fund, which will help our students attend the best national/international conferences.

As always, your feedback is expected and encouraged.

Cheers - Sylvain.
