Please share with any undergraduate students who may be interested: Extreme Crystals Weekend - Undergraduate Workshop on Physics of Solids at High Pressure October 20-22, 2017 High Pressure Science and Engineering Center - University of Nevada, Las Vegas Learn about careers and science in the fields of high pressure physics and chemistry. High pressure science is an expanding field that uses pressure, in some cases exceeding that of the center of the Earth, to explore the physical and chemical properties of matter. Get hands-on experience with cutting edge research tools and find out how they are used to make technical advances in fields from planetary science to national security. This two and a half day weekend workshop is aimed at undergraduate physics, chemistry, and geoscience majors interested in pursuing graduate degrees who want to explore options in high pressure science. The workshop will be hosted by the High Pressure Science and Engineering Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Reimbursement for travel expenses is available. Applications must be submitted before August 1, 2017.
