[labmembers] NanoDays at Stanford - March 12th - call for volunteers

All,

Celebrate NanoDays at Stanford on Tuesday, March 12th by sharing your love of science and inspiring a diverse group of middle school students!  CPN, along with SNF and the Nano Shared Facilities, is partnering with Techbridge to bring a group of girls from two Oakland schools to campus for this nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering.  We'll have fun, hands-on activity stations that showcase the special and unexpected properties of nanoscale materials (courtesy of kits from NISE Network), lunch discussions about your path to becoming a scientist, and lab tours and instrument demos.

We're looking for volunteers ranging from students to postdocs to faculty and staff scientists.  Bilingual (Spanish/English) and/or female volunteers are especially needed as role models for these girls.  Even if you aren't in either category, we want you too!  If you're interested in participating and more details, please sign up here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/stanfordnanodays.

Note: if you are interested specifically in giving a quick window tour of SNF to a small group of students at 10:30am that day, contact Mike Deal, mdeal@stanford.edu, directly.  To help with other activities, go to the surveymonkey website.

Thanks!

Mike Deal, SNF, and Maria Wang, Center for Probing the NanoScale
