Good point! I'm not a CS guy, just (barely) a hacker, so I always forget about that, and I don't have any contacts there. I just thought this would be the laziest option, and since this morning, I already have a couple good people who replied. 3 cheers for news.yc!
edit: I went to the UW CSE dept website and I can't find an easy way to post a summer internship position. Everything there is so formal and structured, and I'm not in HR, so I can't really make an official job posting.
Yeah, unfortunately, the CSE department website isn't necessarily the best way to do it. The bioinformatics resarchers at UW are loosely organized across a number of different departments. Backchannel me, and I'll put you in touch with some people.
