Not grad research, just work in a research lab.  I
provide engineering support to a neuroscience lab.  I'm
not sure if that's better or worse.

Unfortunately, I work at a vet school, so most of my
contacts don't overlap into the engineering world too
well.  Worth a try, however.

Very interesting.  I presume the suggestion then is
snail mailing rather than e-mailing?  I prefer that myself,
but it is just so much less gratifying.  At least it forces
a human being to touch your resume, if not read it.

Thanks for the input!
