AFM Upgrades
A user suggested that Birck acquire a new AFM with photoconductive mode.  We will put this on our equipment roadmap for future purchase consideration, thanks for the input.

Leybold Pump Time
A user noted that Leybold e-beam evaporator pump time is becoming longer to the point of causing standard run times to exceed the normal 4-hour window.  We will check maintenance, do a cryo-pump regeneration, and get the pump time back in order.  In the meantime please send notification to Kenny if runs exceed 4 hours and we will adjust the billings accordingly.

NanoDays Volunteers Needed
NanoDays will be held the evening of April 5, and during the days of April 6 & 7.  Many volunteers are needed!  Please see Justin Wirth, Sean Rinehart, or Joon Park from the engineering staff to sign up to participate and inspire young minds to careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math!!
