Upcoming Nanoscience and Microsystems Events
The Art of Systems Biology & Nanoscience: March 30/31, 2012
Research in advanced microscopy, nanoscale engineering and computer simulations creates beautiful images as well as new knowledge. You are invited to explore some of the newest and most fascinating images during a two-day public celebration at 333 Montenzuma Annex in the rail yard area of Santa Fe on March 30 and 31.
The art show will be open from 4:00 PM on Friday, March 30 to 8:00 PM on Saturday March 31. Public talks will be held at 6:00 PM on Friday and 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Saturday. Kids and teachers are invited to enter the world of the "teeny-tiny" through interactive experiments in nanotechnology from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, led by graduate students from the UNM Nanoscience and Microsystems degree program and the New Mexico Cancer Nanotechnology Training Center. The nanoscience program also includes a glo-fish giveaway for a participating teacher.
