Hello All, 2023 Birck Nanotechnology Center Hero Research Image Contest Entries due by December 14, 2023 Sponsored by NSAC and Birck leadership This year the theme is Hero Images from your work here at Birck - your best sample, breakthrough data, or something you're especially proud of. As always, all the Birck community is invited to contribute. Please provide a short paragraph explaining what we are looking at and why it is a "hero" for you. We will assemble a panel of judges and announce awards at the BNC Holiday Party on December 15. Student hero image entries are eligible to win cash prizes! If you have any striking villain images, the enemies of your heroes, you are invited to submit these as well (but they will not likely garner cash prizes!). Deadline for submissions: December 14, 2023 Where to submit: new MS Teams channel "2023 BNC research image contest" (under the EVPRP-Birck-O-NSAC Team), or using this link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19%3a3df0ac4cac554d64bdc32dcfcff4bb8f%40thread.tacv2/2023%2520BNC%2520Research%2520Image%2520Contest?groupId=5bf94bef-11c6-4867-b6b1-a3a6d90de4e9&tenantId=4130bd39-7c53-419c-b1e5-8758d6d63f21<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteams.microsoft.com%2Fl%2Fchannel%2F19%253a3df0ac4cac554d64bdc32dcfcff4bb8f%2540thread.tacv2%2F2023%252520BNC%252520Research%252520Image%252520Contest%3FgroupId%3D5bf94bef-11c6-4867-b6b1-a3a6d90de4e9%26tenantId%3D4130bd39-7c53-419c-b1e5-8758d6d63f21&data=05%7C01%7CBnc-grads-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7Ca32fb40ec9c047cab34308dbf590fc4d%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638373775279006435%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sP%2BOjRwTAVGiFiCf0ixwRgJtMVgK16II4eZPNKu%2FVPc%3D&reserved=0> If you have issues or questions, please email Neil Dilley at ndilley@purdue.edu<mailto:ndilley@purdue.edu> .
