Subject: Hello - help with spreading the word about a Stanford research program

Hello!

I am Rajan, a CS PhD student working at UC Santa Cruz and Stanford. As part of my PhD, we're running a research program which can provide an alternate avenue to students aspiring to be future researchers. I'll highly appreciate if you can spread the word among students at UW (tascha, dub, change) or elsewhere. I think they'll find it of great interest. The email can say something like this:

** Calling aspiring researchers for the Stanford Crowd Research Summer Program**

Researchers from Stanford University are inviting aspiring researchers to join them in an effort to form the largest crowdsourcing research project ever. The accepted participants will get a chance to design and develop the next-generation crowdsourcing platform, a platform which might challenge the structure of Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Besides, the program will give academic research experience and a chance to co-author paper with researchers at a top-tier conference. Students from any department, pursuing any degree (bachelors, masters or PhD) are encouraged to apply. Deadline for the application is 14th May 2015.

Please check: hci.st/joinstanfordresearchers for more details or contact Rajan Vaish for any questions at rvaish@cs.stanford.edu.

Thanks a lot,

Rajan
