As a virtual institute with programs that focus on software and computing and that conduct all meetings by televideo conferencing, BHAVI invites applications from students interested in Brain Imaging And Computing Sciences (BrainIACS), who are enthusiastic brainiacs and who may reside anywhere in the world but who must have access to high-speed internet connections and the ability to telecommute and teleconference for participation in the virtual institute programs.

BHAVI 2020 will be the 7^th annual year of our program that we have been running since 2014. Our most successful high school student so far has been Teja Veeramacheneni who received $2000 as an STS Scholar and another $25,000 as an STS Finalist in the 2018 Science Talent Search. However, please note that Brain Health Alliance also offers annual prize awards for our own BHAVI students as described for the Mann Prize, Golub Prize, Keller Prize and Siegler Sisters Prize.

Students who participate in BHAVI are encouraged to learn how to pursue STEM research at a professional level with the goal of publishing research papers. A list of publications co-authored by our students can be found at

Mattress Nerd has been paying attention to the many voices of students across the globe who have recently been calling for a change in our living habits and the way we consume and recycle.

They are working in an industry where new technology is being developed all of the time to ensure that mattresses will be longer-lasting and produced with more environmental materials, and we want to ensure that our readership understands the options available to them to be mindful with their mattress disposal.

They would love to hear from more students with a dedication to sustainability and conscientious buying so we can build on our own knowledge and be a contributor to offering an insight on how people can live more environmentally friendly.

The best essay will be awarded a $1000 scholarship for their contribution to this important cause. For more information and to apply, visit: https://www.mattressnerd.com/scholarship/.

Data backup is the responsibility of ALL students.

It is very important that everyone backup ALL important data from your MacBook Air over the weekend to Google Drive, Dropbox or with Time Machine.

Here is a link to info regarding your built in backup utility: Time Machine
Time Machine is the built-in backup that works with your Mac and an external drive or Time Capsule (purchased separately). Connect the drive, tell Time Machine to use it. Time Machine automatically backs up your entire Mac, including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, email messages, music, photos, movies, and documents. Time Machine keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups until your backup drive is full.

Here is a link to info regarding Google Drive

If you have any questions, feel free to come see a GENIUS student in the Media Center.
