		<description><![CDATA[The fight against academic publishers is heating up as Tyler Neylon&#8217;s website continues to gain support against Elsevier. If you haven&#8217;t heard, the website is a place where you can publicly declare that you will boycott Elsevier, one of the academic publishers with particularly terrible practices. It may have been created in response to Timothy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the wide-spread adoption of the internet, the traditional academic publishing system has become somewhat antiquated. This has caused a lot of uproar within the academic communities, and many prominent researchers have been thinking about alternative publishing systems. There&#8217;s a lot of material about this floating around the internet, but in this article I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had a discussion with two of my friends about why we, as researchers, choose to work on the problems we work on. In statistics and machine learning, and maybe more generally in computer science, this can be a pretty interesting question. Do we work on problems purely for personal interest? Or do we [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a pretty rough couple of weeks, where I wasn&#8217;t really sure what I should be doing and I realized that [...]]]></description>

The project is about building web applications with high level security properties that can be verified in a code review.

		<description><![CDATA[Now that you&#8217;ve visited all of the schools you&#8217;ve been admitted to, it&#8217;s time to make a decision. For some people, this is a really easy process, for others (like me) this is incredibly difficult. A lot of people that I talked to made their decisions for various factors that didn&#8217;t really apply to me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometime in February or March you&#8217;ll start hearing back from schools. Unless you are incredibly brilliant, you&#8217;ll probably get into some and not get into others. If you only get into one school, and you&#8217;re set on going to grad school, then you don&#8217;t really have much of a decision to make. I guess you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what I did with regards to applying for graduate school. Maybe this will only apply for computer science PhD. programs. First I got involved in research at the beginning of my sophomore year. That year I didn&#8217;t really do much of what I would now consider research, but I showed my advisor that I [...]]]></description>

The three main fellowships that people in computer science tend to apply to are NSF, Hertz and NDSEG. There are often other fellowships that are more specific to [...]]]></description>
