For the first time, we’ve set up a post in this newsletter to accept comments (“What is the birthdate of cognitive science?”). We’d like to encourage other members of the Cognitive Science community at UMass to use this platform to communicate with one another and the rest of the world. We have set up a separate “Blog” page on the website that will contain only those posts that have comments enabled (as well as this one). If you would like to post something to the CogSci website and newsletter, please include in an e-mail to cogsci@umass.edu:

1. The title of the post
2. The contents of the post
3. Whether you’d like comments enabled
4. Whether you’d like your name at the top, as well as website and e-mail (please include these)

As well as discussion pieces, we’re also happy to publish announcements (publications, conferences, jobs, etc.) and anything else you’d like to have reach the 140 subscribers to our weekly newsletter.
