Dear Birck graduate students, The Birck Nanotechnology Center Seminar Series is starting up again this fall.     When: Thursdays at 10:30 am (beginning Thursday, August 23rd)     Where: Birck 1001     Format:  Each seminar will last an hour with ~ 40-45 minutes for the     presentation and the remainder for questions. Once again we hope to have a mixture of graduate students. post-docs, and professors presenting their research. These seminars are a great opportunity to practice a talk before an upcoming conference or thesis defense. If you are interested in presenting a talk, please contact Annie Cheever (acheever@ecn.purdue.edu). If you have further questions, please contact Annie or Laura. Thank you.
