Atlanta Colloid & Soft Matter Bag Lunch Seminar

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

This Atlanta Colloid & Soft Matter Bag Lunch Seminar features Jan Scrimgeour with a talk titled, "Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching to Probe Macromolecule Interactions in Living Cells," and Lawrence Bottomley with a presentation exploring the question: Can the conformation of a macromolecule adsorbed on a surface be accurately determined by force spectroscopy?

The seminar will take place in the "M" Building, Room 3201A, at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16.

_________________

The Atlanta Colloid & Soft Matter Bag Lunch Seminar Series was launched in March 2008 as a way to bring together local research groups from different schools and disciplines with a common interest in Colloid and Soft Matter research. Many of us felt that we had reached a "critical mass" and an opportunity for joining forces and building a strong local community. The Colloid & Soft Matter Bag Lunch Seminar is part of our endeavor to provide a community forum, as is the semi-annual Southeast Soft Materials Workshop.

The Bag Lunch Seminars take place roughly once a month. We meet and chat and eat our food (everyone brings her/his own), and we usually have 2 oral presentations each time, given by faculty members, postdocs or an experienced graduate student:

  • a technical talk (10 - 15 minutes) that introduces to the community a specific technique (experimental or computational) that is used successfully by the speaker’s group and which the group would like the community to know about, and
  • a research presentation (30 - 35 minutes) by a different group, which discusses research in progress. This presentation can be used to introduce a topic and some preliminary results and should ideally end with an open question or a riddle that the presenter is currently trying to solve and that invites comments and suggestions from the audience and opens up a broader discussion..

This aim of this format is to stimulate informal contacts between our groups, to promote the exchange of ideas and instrumental resources, and to provide a safe and supportive environment for the discussion of open questions in ongoing research projects.
