1. Why should I fear your research?
2. Why should I rejoice that it's being done?
3. What should I tell my mom about it?
4. What's your most interesting discovery?
5. What's your most recent discovery?

Cross-pollination of ideas within the Computer Science and AI Lab!
Proving-ground for your big ideas, reactions from the best and brightest!

Recent presenters asked first, then random selection. Heavy emphasis on student instigators (as vs. faculty)

20-30, primarily CSAIL students and faculty. Others as invited or wandering by.

20 minutes instigation while people eat -- get 'em riled
40 minutes reaction/discussion/war

If You Are Instigating:

• Send your abstract (roughly 300-800 words) to dangerous-minds@ai.mit.edu by THE FRIDAY BEFORE your seminar! This is so we can create and distribute posters, send out email, put you on the schedule, etc. The sooner you do this, the more we like you!
• We will try to create a two to three sentence blurb (less than 42 words) from your abstract for the poster. This is so we know we get it, and don't tell people the wrong thing in conversation. You have veto power, and will approve posters before they go up.
• If you need something besides a projector, tell us!
• If there's anyone in particular we should strongarm into attending, tell us! ;-)
• Be prepared to arrive at 12:30 to set up and make sure everything is working.
• Practice your evil maniacal bellowing laughter.

If You Want to instigate

• Send mail to dangerous-minds with ramblings about your Dangerous Idea!
• Catch any of our conspirators unawares and lure them into Dangerous Discussion.
• Use ESP or The Force to schedule your talk.
