Indiana-focused conference, Environmental Justice, Next Steps - Environment Justice, Climate Change, and Racial Justice

March 25 - 26, 2021

The goal of this virtual conference is to create a regional action network on environmental justice by bringing together Purdue researchers, artists, scholars and stakeholders, and including peers working at research institutions across the state. Through the conference, Purdue will bring diverse scholars and leaders together to broaden the conversation on environmental justice with a focus Indiana and the Midwest by inviting researchers in areas including environmental sciences, racial & social justice, decolonization, engineering, law and environmental policy, and the visual and performing arts with the intention of starting long-term collaborations and conversations to maximize the impact of discussions moving forward.

Soft Materials Lab Open for Lithography Processing

The new soft materials lab in the southwest corner of the biocleanroom is ready for photolithography processing.  We have completed the installation of a spinner and MJB-3 contact aligner, along with yellow light and a solvent hood.  Please be aware that working in the biocleanroom requires a biocleanroom SOP review and an orientation meeting in order to discuss gowning requirements and specific biocleanroom work protocols.  New users wanting to use the soft materials lithography tools should contact Guy Telesnicki (gtelesni at purdue.edu<mailto:gtelesni at purdue.edu>) for details on this training.  Additionally, anyone wishing to use the spinner and/or aligner please contact Joon Park (park218 at purdue.edu<mailto:park218 at purdue.edu>) for training.
