LORRE Update
by Mosier, Nathan S 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Welcome (back)! Today starts another semester and a restart to the weekly LORRE updates. Look for these emails for announcements for upcoming events, activities, and information. LORRE Seminars We will be starting our weekly LORRE seminar series in the near future. Please let your advisor know your class schedule so that we set a seminar time that everyone can attend. At LORRE, How Do I ...? This is a weekly series in the newsletter to help everyone access the resources they need to be successful. Each week will highlight a different "How do I" question. If you have suggestions for "How do I" questions, please send them to Nate Mosier (mosiern(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mosiern@purdue.edu>). At LORRE, how do I get into lab #? Everyone should have a key to their office (POTR 236 or 336). During the day (8am to 5pm) the doors to many labs will be unlocked as people work in them. However, if you find a door locked there is a key ring in each office (236 and 336) that has keys for all of the LORRE labs. You can check out the keys to unlock a door, if necessary, but please return the key ring right away so others can use it! It is also everyone's responsibly to make sure that you lock the door to the lab after you are finished. This will prevent thefts and people who lack the proper training from accessing the labs.

Campus Seminar Announcement "A New Energy Future" Colleagues - I write to encourage you to take advantage of an exciting opportunity for your students on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 13, 2013, at Loeb Hall. Together, the new Purdue Institute for Civic Communication (PICC), Bloomberg View (the opinion and analytical platform of Bloomberg News), and C-SPAN will present a series of forums on the issue of energy. The conference, entitled "A New Energy Future," will start at 1:30 pm and wrap up at 6 pm. The conference will address questions including: What are future needs for fossil fuels and can or should they be eliminated and replaced? Can we rely on renewables? Do practical solutions exist to reduce carbon emissions? How does natural gas change the equation? Is energy independence in reach? Bloomberg View is inviting speakers from its talent line-up of writers and analysts, as well as representatives from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which provides news and analytical tools to the energy sector. Brian Lamb is expected to interview a CEO of a major corporation on energy use. The forum will feature several Purdue faculty, including Jim Braun, Maureen McCann, and Wally Tyner in a panel that I will moderate. Program details will be available soon. The format will encourage student Q&A. I hope you will encourage your students to attend. If you wish to give "attendance credit" for participating, the PICC will assist in taking attendance for the event for faculty who request such assistance. Please contact the PICC Executive Director, Ambassador Carolyn Curiel, at curiel(a)purdue.edu<mailto:curiel@purdue.edu>, or her student assistant, Alison Gayer, agayer(a)purdue.edu<mailto:agayer@purdue.edu>, with any questions.
