The BNC Monday Memo] BNC News *June 15, 2009 * ANNOUNCEMENTS
*Electronic Materials Conference/Device Research Conference Preview
Symposium*
*Friday, June 19th, 1001 BRK*
Birck Nanotechnology Center researchers will be well represented at this
summer's Electronic Materials Conference and Device Research Conference, to
be held back to back at Penn State University, June 22-26. You are invited
to participate in a preview of the BNC presentations. Even if you are
planning to attend EMC/DRC, you will probably miss several Purdue talks and
posters because of scheduling conflicts, so here is your chance. The
presenters also look forward to your feedback.
If you would like to present but have not yet reserved a time slot, please
contact Deborah Starewich <dstarewi(a)purdue.edu>.
[SCHEDULE<http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/Nanotechnology/mondaymemo.html#EMCsched…>as
of Friday, 06.12, 9:00AM]
*NEW LCDs are installed! * You've probably noticed the new LCDs in the small
conference rooms [1024, 1290, 2024, 2290]. Click
here<http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/resources/lcd.php>for
instructions for use.
*Thanks!* A special *Kudos* has been sent recognizing *Se'Andra
Donaldson*for her help with the PRISM event, held 06.10 and 06.11.09.
It has been
reported that Se'Andra "is always very helpful and eager to help anytime,
and always has a smile. It’s a privilege and an honor to work with her."
Thanks for all you do, Se'Andra and for setting an example we should all
follow. You're the best!

*NSAC NEWS*
The Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council (*NSAC*) is comprised of
graduate students and research assistants working at the Birck
Nanotechnology Center in Purdue University. However, membership is not
exclusive and any Purdue student is welcome.
Our goal is to promote collaboration, enhance research awareness, and
facilitate communication among faculty, staff, and students. To meet this
goal, we plan regular social events, host lab open houses, and collaborate
with the staff to organize the Equipment & Process Expert (Super-User)
Program. We also have student volunteers that serve on the Policies and
Procedures Committee for BNC. Please feel free to *visit the
NSAC<http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/resources/nsac/index.php>webpage
*!
*NSAC *is sponsoring a blood drive on Monday, July 6th with the Indiana
Blood Center. "Indiana Blood Center lives a daily mission to supply blood
and blood components to Hoosier patients in need. In doing so, we meet
remarkable people every day. Read the true stories of both donors and
recipients <http://www.indianablood.org/donating/Stories/Pages/default.aspx>in
Indiana have been touched."
