Weiss Group and Molecular Devices InterGroup Meetings

Group Meetings are weekly or sometimes more often in a variety of rooms.
Tuesday afternoons in 339 Davey at 100 PM are the standard time for this semester.
InterGroup and MRSEC meetings are held in S5 Osmond, at Irvings, and the Chemistry/Life Sciences overpass. They include pattering meetings, membrane meetings, and advanced lithography meetings.

All are welcome to our group meetings and these series.

Skip to the next talk.
