Hi Everyone! Last Friday we listened to Dr. deRidder’s academic journey from Biology to Mechanical Engineering to Aerospace, and it is still hard to wrap our head around his ever-so-dynamic passion for learning and Science 😄 “Physics never has a bad day” keeps him motivated to explore the Pandora box of science and technology. Listen to his inspiring grad school stories and let us know what is your source of constant motivation.

All the interviewees will also receive a NSAC Coffee Mug as a token of appreciation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NSAC is a student organization built to help enhance the communication of nanotechnology related people in Purdue. We have hosted a bunch of academic and social events in the past years, such as coffee hour, fab forum, interactive workshops, corn maze, etc. This year, towards the special COVID-19 situation, NSAC will keep its active virtual efforts to enhance the connections and communications within the community. Let’s make nano ‘bigger’ and stronger together.
