Dear Colleagues, The NSF-sponsored National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) program is initiating a new Nanoscience in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Research Community. Our inaugural event will be a workshop convened May 24-26 (4 hour blocks each day starting at 11 EDT). The first day (Monday) will be an overview of some of the exciting new nanoscience research that is being done in the Earth and Environmental Sciences with an all-star group of speakers. The second day (Tuesday) will present an introduction to the NNCI and ways to interact with analytical facilities hosted by the NNCI. And the third optional day (Wednesday) will have "Office Hours With Experts" scheduled so that interested participants can meet one-on-one or in small groups with experts from the NNCI facilities and related labs to help initiate new research projects and form new collaborations. Topical small group discussions will also be held on Monday and Tuesday so that we can learn more about community interests and needs in supporting your nanoscience research. This workshop is open to anyone (faculty, students, professional Earth scientists in federal/state labs or the private sector) who would like to learn more about nanoscience research in the Earth and Environmental Sciences. Participation is free, but we do ask that you register by the May 17 deadline to help us with our scheduling and planning: https://serc.carleton.edu/nnci_spring2021/registration.html More information workshop and the workshop program can be found at: https://serc.carleton.edu/nnci_spring2021/index.html Thanks in advance for your interest, Dave Mogk, Tonya Pruitt, Paul Westerhoff, Kate Maher, Monica Bruckner.
