Dear PAPS Newsletter subscriber,

The May edition of the PAPS Newsletter is finally here -- is it June already!?

Since this is the first instalment of the 2011-2012 PAPS Executive Committee, we’ve decided to present ourselves in short, easy to read, Twitter-style bios. However, given that there is only so much you can learn from 140 characters, we will introduce ourselves in more detail in the upcoming newsletters. In the current one you can find out more about our treasurer, Joana Girante, namely her professional path and connection to Sesame Street.

As in previous newsletters, you’ll also find updated job board listings along with interesting opportunities and news.

Cheers,
The 2011-2012 PAPS Executive Committee

PS: We’ll be back to regularly scheduled newsletter releases from here on out.

Newsletter 51 - January 2011 (PDF)

Dear PAPS Newsletter Subscriber,

When flying back and forth from Portugal and the US you probably found yourself thinking: "Gosh, this ocean IS big! Brave people those that have crossed it by boat!" If this is the case… we have some exciting news for you! In our newsletter this month, you can read the fascinating feature story by Ricardo Diniz, a Portuguese sailor and entrepreneur.

On the other hand, you might be thinking: "Nah… I am not into sailing. What I really like is music." Guess what? It is Christmas time so all your wishes come true! You can't miss the opportunity to get to know David Cruz, a Portuguese music graduate student in Boston.

PAPS chapters activities and the Job Board are also featured, so please take a few moments to check all of these out in the 50th issue of the PAPS Newsletter!

PAPS wishes you a wonderful 2011… Feliz Ano Novo!
