Just a reminder that Fab Forum will be held today at 1 PM in the BNC atrium. Fab Forum allows BNC researchers a place to discuss their current problems, concerns, or successes with sample fabrication, characterization, or equipment use.
Light snacks will be served along with:
Coffee of the week: Columbian Nariño, medium roast
Tea of the week: Rooibos with herbal blend of hibiscus, rose hip, and orange
This afternoon will open with equipment updates, and open discussion will follow. We're particularly interested in hearing about any process issues groups are currently experiencing, so please stop by and share these if you can.
For those who were unable to attend last week, slides and discussion have been posted on BNCWiki:
