Good Morning, I received a last minute request from Science Bound again, who will be here with Chris Foster (Presidents husband) and they would like for these students to see BRK (clean room focused) and to just have you talk about your current project you are working on. These are incoming Science Bound kids, new to the program as first time "explorers". The BRK portion of the tour will be from 1:20 p.m. - 1:40 p.m. and then a switch and again from 1:40 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. I am in a meeting from 1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. and cannot be there to do the switch. Please let me know if you are available. Thank you. Valerie Valerie Lawless Engagement Operations Manager Purdue University Discovery Park Burton D.

It is a great opportunity to present your research to peers across the NCN nodes. The objective is to encourge wider collaboration and useful discussion among students. For some images from NSRS 2008, please visit: http://nanohub.org/topics/NCNPurdueStudents/NSRS [This page shall also be updated with the latest information for NSRS 2009].
