<p>Anyone else doing the book club for early decisioners?</p>
<p>I haven't heard of it. What is it exactly?</p>
<p>I think I'm going to do it. It's a book by a NU professor about nanotechnology. I'm not doing anything with science in college, but it sounds like a good chance to get into NU mode.</p>
<p>Where/How do you find out about it?</p>
<p>Haven't ever heard of this-but I will be a theater major....is this just for science majors?</p>
<p>it's just for WCAS people.. they e-mailed me about it I think like a week ago.</p>
<p>I'm definetely going to read it. It caught my interest when I read the prediction that the nanotechnology sector will go from nothing to a trillion dollar industry by 2015.</p>
<p>I'm going to read it as well, the book looks interesting. Did any of the other EDers get the extensive e-mail describing the process of joining?</p>
<p>Book Club? I'm at Northwestern and never even heard of this program...</p>
<p>It's only for people accepted ED.</p>
<p>From e-mail:
