One goal of this workshop is to learn as much as possible about resources and needs at regional institutions. We are lucky enough to have participants from a wide range of institutions, include multiple companies, UW systems schools, and national laboratories. We would therefore like to reach out directly to all of you and ask if you would be interested in presenting some information on your institution’s resources and needs.

The Annual Eli Burstein Lecture in Materials Science this year will be give by Professor Paul M. Chaikin, on November 2nd at 4:00 pm in the Hoff Lynch Lecture Room, Department of Chemistry (DRL building).
