This workshop will introduce teachers to the materials aspect of archaeology and make them more familiar with the various types of materials encountered in this field and their analysis. Lectures in Archaeochemistry, Archeometallurgy, Archeological Ceramics, and Bronze Casting Technology, will be followed by a tour of LRSM's shared experimental facilities. After lunch at the LRSM, there will be a tour of the Museum Ceramics Lab. and a visit to a local bronze casting foundry to observe the complete process in making a lost wax bronze sculpture.

The 61st New England Complex Fluids worskhop will be held at the Harvard MRSEC on Friday, December 5, 2014. The quarterly workshops, which rotate throughout the New England area, encourage collaboration among researchers from industry and academe studying Soft Condensed Matter.This is the Friday of MRS week in Boston so if you are in town, please join us!

This Symposium in honor of Eric Mazur aims to bring together a diverse collection of scientists and educators whose career paths have intersected with Eric’s and who share the passion Eric has for science, education and innovation. On the scientific side, the shared focus is the use of light to elucidate complex phenomena in materials while emphasizing the intuitive approach that has often characterized Eric’s contributions to the field.

6th Annual Symposium

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.

In early November, MRSEC education directors met at the University of Pennsylvania to discuss ongoing outreach efforts and initiatives. Check out presentation highlights from individual centers.
