Dear BNC Researcher: The 2nd Annual BNC Research Review will be held on Monday, April 14th, 2008 in 121 Morgan, starting at 1PM. I hope you can attend. The program includes a selection of research highlights from the past year, a review of affiliated center projects, and a poster session in which everyone is invited to participate. Please go to the Birck Nanotechnology Center website (www.nano.purdue.edu <http://www.nano.purdue.edu>) for the most up-to-date information regarding this year¹s Annual Research Review, as well as a web RSVP form. Please note that a ³Best Poster² competition will be held this year. The poster session will be held in the Morgan Café following the afternoon¹s presentations. If you would like to present a poster, please download the poster template of your choice (landscape, 24²x36²; or portrait, 36²x24²) http://www.purdue.edu/dp/Nanotechnology/Resources/PPT_resources.php. Do not change the banner or font style/color for the title and author sections of your poster. Please note that posters will not be considered for display on the walls of the BNC unless one of these templates is used. You are responsible for printing your own posters.
