<div dir="ltr">MBI was an exceptional workshop that has had a great impact on my career. Unfortunately nothing similar to it exists anymore. I wouldn't advocate the same number of talks. But I think it has to have more talks than a typical brainhack. Maybe 50/50? We need to be able to show a clear course curriculum with explicit goals so that it is a "no brainer" for supervisors to send their students and postdocs.<div><br></div><div>I am not sure about the publication part. I think it is better if the publication arises organically from the school rather than being a mandated part of it. If it is the latter, I think we will fail. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 2:24 PM, rbrto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robertotoro@gmail.com" target="_blank">robertotoro@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 8:08 PM, Alexandre Franco <<a href="mailto:eng.franco@gmail.com">eng.franco@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
