Since 12 people is already a large number in a research laboratory, the full group of participants will be divided into four subgroups, hereafter designated by the colors infrared (I), magenta (M), cyan (C), and ultraviolet (U), with no more than 12 people per group. During the short intervals that participants are not touring a lab, there should be a chance (outside the lab) to discuss the research topics informally.
Please do not touch anything inside the labs, since we are guests!
Attendance will be checked promptly at 9:00 a.m., even though this may break up many stimulating scientific discussions over breakfast!
The talks are in Room 206 of the laboratory/teaching wing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and in Room 202 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Sunday, June 8: Arrive in College Station, move into Hobby Hall.
