The deadline for MPP's four PhD courses is February 28, 1010. The other deadlines are March 31, 2010 for the CTIS (Transportation Systems) Masters course and July 15, 2010 for Advanced Studies courses in Bioengineering, Sustainable Energy Systems, and Technology Management Enterprise. (Details ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410103/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/application/applying.html ) to share with colleagues and contacts.) >From January 4-15, 2010, MIT Portugals Bioengineering group opened the lectures in its Biomedical Devices and Technologies module ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410104/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/latest/biomedical-devices-and-technologies-lectures-expand-mit-portugals-impact-in-portuguese-research-community.html ) to researchers across Portugals academic and corporate research communities, expanding their impact significantly. The talks, on leading-edge computational models and technologies for advanced prostheses and other devices, were given at IST and were led by faculty from IST, U Minho, and MIT.

The focus was on the scenario-planning process. Two more workshops, which are planned in March (Porto) and July 2010 (Lisbon), will address revitalization policies and strategies. A Portuguese student at MIT whose PhD research was supported in part by MPP and who was guided by two MPP faculty, Prof. Herbert H. Einstein and Prof. Daniele Veneziano has developed what could be the most comprehensive database of tunnel construction accidents to date, as well as a risk-assessment methodology that could help prevent future incidents. Rita Sousas research ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410108/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/latest/portuguese-student-at-mit-develops-risk-assessment-methodology-that-might-help-prevent-future-tunnel-accidents.html ) was motivated by a series of tunnel accidents in Porto; her analysis of them served as a case study in her successful December 2009 doctoral defense. The MIT Professors Visit Schools collaboration with Cincia Viva continued on Jan. 12 when an overflow crowd at Lisbons Escola Secundria de Cames ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410109/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/latest/mit-professor-and-former-astronaut-gives-students-a-glimpse-into-future-mars-missions.html ) gathered to hear MIT Professor of Astronautics and former NASA Payload Specialist Astronaut Laurence R. Young gave a talk on Going to Mars with Artificial Gravity. One high school attendee was clearly excited by the prospect of future Mars missions, telling one of the many reporters covering the event, Im going to be the first Portuguese astronaut to go to Mars! Falar Global (Global Talk) a program broadcast on the Portuguese TV network SIC that looks at the ways in which advances in science and technology are changing people's lives regularly airs stories about MIT Portugal. Recent segments have focused on the impact of MIT Portugal research, including stem cell research to fight leukemia and other blood diseases, the study of bacteria that can produce energy upon contact with waste containing metals, and intelligent stents for treating aneurysms. (Videos are available on the MPP website ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410110/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/latest/mit-portugal-featured-regularly-on-falar-global.html ).) MPP Bioengineering Co-director Prof. Dava Newman was recently named a Woman to Watch in high-tech ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410111/23157/goto:http://www.mitportugal.org/latest/bioengineering-co-director-dava-newman-named-woman-to-watch-in-technology.html ) by an influential U.S. technology journal the second year in a row that a member of the Bioengineering faculty was so honored. Prof. Newman is literally a woman to watch on U.S. public televisions NOVA scienceNOWs Secret Lives of Scientists website, which features video clips ( http://e2ma.net/go/100051691333/2567638/91410112/23157/goto:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/secretlife/scientists/dava-newman/ ) about the wide-ranging nature of her research and interests.
