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@purdue.edu>.

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." ------------------------------ *TOURS/VISITORS* *visit nano.purdue.edu <http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/>and refer to "Featured Events" for the most up-to-date BRK information * Friday, 06.19.09, 12:00-1:00: SURF tour, with Caitlin Burger. ------------------------------ *SEMINARS/WORKSHOPS* *visit nano.purdue.edu <http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/>and refer to "Featured Events" for the most up-to-date BRK information * *Workshop on Probing the Limits of Strength*, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 10-12 August 2009.
