Almost time for GSoC Applications!

Your chance to join the DevoWorm group is almost upon us. If you are a student, the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a good opportunity to gain programming experience. Applications are being accepted from March 20 to April 3. If selected, you will join the DevoWorm group, and also have the chance to network with people from the OpenWorm Foundation and the INCF.

The best approach to a successful application is to discuss your skills, provide an outline of what you plan to do (which should resemble the project description), and then discuss your approach to solving the problems at hand. We are particularly interested in a demonstration of your problem-solving abilities, since many people will apply with a similar level of skill. You can find an application template in outline form here.

You can apply to work on one of two DevoWorm projects: "Physics-based Modeling of the Mosaic Embryo in CompuCell3D" or "Image processing with ImageJ (segmentation of high-resolution images)". If you have any questions, comment in the discussions or contact me directly.
