Regional programs

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
In all seriousness, a regional fellowship is pretty questionable at best.

I looked at the ASRA listings - my “top notch” picks are Pensacola (literally the program is called “BLOCKJOCKS”), Miami and UC San Diego. My criteria? Nice, warm and beachy climates. If you are going to potentially (probably?) waste a year, at least do it in an awesome location.

THIS.

For those people that have been playing video games ever since they were a kid (and those that still play complex hand-eye coordination games), they possess all the technical skills (basically trying to visualize a 3d structure with a 2d image) necessary to do all the regional techniques. What then is the benefit gained from a regional fellowship? You spend a year doing something that you could theoretically master in a month or possibly learn on the job?

better get something else out of it.
