[Asis-l] Opportunity: 2016 Summer Internship at IBM Research - Almaden

[Laura Challman Anderson]

We are looking for talented students who are interested in applying for this competitive position to join our project for the summer.  We are studying science teams through the lens of interaction and activity to better understand the pace and cadence of scientific projects.  (More specifically, we've been using trace data in the forms of email, meeting transcripts, and wiki/team room artifacts to examine social interaction and conversational topics and themes for patterns over time.)
