Hi Steve,
I am a Franklin resident, a lecturer at Brown University, and an avid reader of Franklin Matters :-)
I was wondering if you might be interested in promoting a course I am teaching online starting at the end of the month. The course, Exploring Neural Data, is offered for free to anyone, on the Coursera platform. Brown University did a write-up about it today: https://news.brown.edu/articles/2014/09/mooc
I thought it might be fun for members of the community to participate in the course, so I was hoping that Franklin Matters might be a way for them to become aware of it. The course has no prerequisites, and would even be appropriate for advanced high schoolers with an interest in neuroscience and/or computer programming. Here is the link to the course: https://www.coursera.org/course/neuraldata
Please let me know what you think and if you need any more info!
Thanks,
Monica

The Franklin High School girls ice hockey team booster club will hold its Annual Run, Walk and Score! Road Race on Sunday, Sept. 21, at 9 a.m., at Jefferson Remington Middle School, 628 Washington St., Franklin.
With tremendous turnouts in 2012 and 2013, the boosters offer both 2k and 5k courses, which appeal to enthusiasts of any fitness level and age. Both courses have been measured and certified by USATF and all participants will receive an official time once they have completed the course.
This course is quite flat, which makes it favorable not only for experienced runners but also for those entering a running event for the first time. Prizes will be awarded to the top finisher, man and woman, in six age categories in both races.

"You see, the problem is not that people don't read and listen to the media. The problem is that the media doesn't know themselves."What we do here is not 'traditional media'. I use "we" deliberately. You contribute as much to this site as I do. Your questions, your information, your corrections all help to drive what is shared here. It may be my name on most of the regular posts. It may be Renata's name on the weekly summary of events. But is is YOU behind the scenes feeding us the info and questions.
"If you have a fact-based worldview of today, you might have a chance to understand what's coming next in the future."Thank you! Please continue to read, comment, share and ask question. Together we can become more informed about Franklin or as Hans would say "not ignorant!"
