NSAC Trip to Chicago: Argonne National Lab
by Alfredo Tuesta 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hello everybody, As part of NSAC's research awareness initiative, we are planning a trip on the third week of November (16-20) to visit the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. Since researchers are responsible for the tours and only available from Monday through Friday, we must go during a weekday. Information about CNM's research and facilities can be found here: http://www.cnm.anl.gov/index.html. In order to make our trip to Chicago more enjoyable and worthwhile, we are considering staying in the city for a great pizza dinner and possibly visiting a museum. We have made no further detailed plans for this but would like to know if you are interested as well. If you are interested in taking a trip to Chicago and visiting this magnificent lab and possibly staying for dinner and a museum, fill out this form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dDFDc3ZMYWl1bUh0NE1CR… A visit to the lab is FREE and we will coordinate carpooling after we gather information from those interested. Please fill out the form by next Friday, Oct. 16, 2009. Your NSAC Officers: John Wilcox, Cara Smith, Alfredo Tuesta and Caitlin Burger
