The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara will hold a Summer School on the Preparative Strategies in Solid State and Materials Chemistry from August 8-21, 2010 at UCSB. The school is aimed at future leaders of Materials Science: proponents of the idea that selection of materials for specific functions should depend solely on which material is optimal, rather than on what the investigator is familiar with. Candidate attendees are students close to finishing their PhD, and whose research involves materials preparation.

The University of Chicago MRSEC is sponsoring a droplet splashing workshop. The aim is to introduce people from the different fluids communities to each other and encourage discussion.

Almost everything around you - the clothes you wear, the dishes you eat from, the computer you use, the bike you ride or the car you drive - is made of stuff. Materials science and engineering is the study of that stuff: what it's made of, how it works and what we can do with it.

The goal of this workshop is to spark interactions and collaborations between the research groups in the Triangle area. The workshop format is very informal, and an emphasis is placed on spurring conversations between researchers in all areas of soft matter research. “Soft matter” here is defined very broadly, and it includes (but is not limited to) work in polymers, colloid science, synthetic and naturally occurring biomaterials, and condensed matter physics.
