Program Note: For the first time this year, members can request meetings (either individually or in small numbers) with NIST staff in a particular topic of interest. Want to have some training in Small Angle Neutron Scattering? What is going on in biomanufacturing these days? What does NIST do in additive manufacturing? These are all good questions, but they are not necessarily a focus of a presentation during the annual meeting. This 90 minute slot can be used for a variety of end goals. Use it for training in a particular technique, or use it to engage in a discussion with potential or current collaborators, or use it to learn about a technique you were always curious about but never had the time to look into. Use it to bring a co-worker into the discussion. Requests can be forwarded to Ron Jones, and he will arrange everything.
