NRF Weekly Update September 29

Join the NRF at the NanoDay Festivities

Join us as we celebrate all things nano up at the Reitz Union. NIMET hosts this annual event, and we at the NRF are always excited to celebrate and see the presentations of all your fantastic research! The NRF will have a table during the poster session so you can stop by and catch up with us, or probe staff to answer some pressing research questions. Seeing that the official NanoDay falls on a UF holiday, the celebration this year is early, on October 7th. Don't forget about the image competition: Calling all NRF CT and SEM users, get digging through your top shots now. We want to see your best takes. Don't forget those scale bars!
