April 14 - Nano Expo event
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Sent on behalf of Neil Dilley Dear Birck community, After a 3 year pause, we are again planning outreach events at Birck Nano Center and we are excited to have our first one on April 14. While the NanoDays event has been a great success in past years, we are asked this year to try a new emphasis by engaging high school students for the April event which we are calling: Nanoscience Expo This will be a small limited-scale event with 50-100 students in preparation for a larger one we plan in late September here. I am writing to welcome your thoughts on engagement activities for high school students visiting Birck. In contrast to the NanoDays open format in the atrium, this will be more a more structured experience where the students will visit several stations for ~30 minutes and have lunch here, all during a 3.5 hr visit. We are organizing the topics around 4 pillars: Semiconductors Quantum Healthcare Environment The Nanoscience Expo strives to: * Show relevance of nano in our daily lives * give the students some concept about what a career in a nanoscience-related profession could look like * do this using engaging and higher level activities Please email Neil at ndilley(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ndilley@purdue.edu> with your thoughts. Thank you for your input on making this a great event! Best, Neil -- Neil R. Dilley, Ph.D. Research Scientist Birck Nanotechnology Center , Rm 1010 1205 West State St. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 765-496-6080

Hello All, Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP) Date: Thursday, February 2, 2023 Time: 10:30 - 11:20 AM Location: LYLE 1150 Speaker: Joshua Alexander, Associate Professor, SLHA Title: Evaluating the Efficacy of Music Programs in Hearing Aids Abstract: Hearing aid processing of music is much less thoroughly researched than hearing aid processing of speech. This presentation will report on a study using normal-hearing listeners that evaluated the efficacy of programs specifically designed for music listening in state-of-the-art hearing aids. In addition, an analysis of signal processing and acoustic features relating to the results will be presented. Following this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1) Describe how hearing aids may negatively impact music perception. 2) Describe key features of real or hypothetical music programs for hearing aids. 3) Describe the efficacy of current music programs in hearing aids Zoom link for remote attendees: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/4326340458 Meeting ID: 432 634 0458 The working schedule is available here: https://purdue.edu/TPAN/hearing/shrp_schedule<http://ogww.mj.am/lnk/AU8AAEukm7AAAchk2HAAALFJlZgAAYCsFQMAnDnUAATD7ABh_T90y…> The titles and abstracts of the talks will be added here: https://purdue.edu/TPAN/hearing/shrp_abstracts<http://ogww.mj.am/lnk/AU8AAEukm7AAAchk2HAAALFJlZgAAYCsFQMAnDnUAATD7ABh_T90y…>
