Our program is nearly full and our sponsorships (fundraising) are nearly complete. We are featuring several keynote speakers, whose bios I’ll update shortly on the UGIM website (<a href="http://ugim.nano.upenn.edu" class="">ugim.nano.upenn.edu</a>)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Prof. Jared Haun from UC Irvine will discuss “Embracing the Nanobiology Future"</div><div class="">2. Donald Tennant from Cornell’s Nanoscale Science & Technology will lead off a keynote on Electron Beam Lithography</div><div class="">3. Prof. Ken Shepard from Columbia will discuss Ben Franklin’s contributions to science (Ben = Penn’s founder) </div><div class="">4. We are close to booking one of the White House’s appointees from the Office of Science & Technology Policy…perhaps a long shot, but stay tuned!</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
