Congratulations to Hsinhan (Dave) Tsai on receiving the 2020 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award!

The 2020 APS/CNM Users Meeting originally scheduled for April 20-24, 2020, at Argonne National Laboratory was canceled due to the COVID-19/coronavirus outbreak.
 
The action to cancel the APS/CNM Users Meeting was taken to protect the health of all meeting attendees and the wellbeing of our entire community.  This action was taken out of an abundance of caution. We apologize for any disruption to your plans. Thank you for your understanding. We hope that you will rejoin us in 2021. 
 
 
Sincerely,
The Facility Directors and the Local Organizing Committee:
 
Ilke Arslan, Interim Director, Center for Nanoscale Materials
 
Stephen Streiffer, Director, Advanced Photon Source
 
Jacqueline Cole, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge
Vice-Chair, CNM Users Executive Committee
 
Carlo Segre, Illinois Institute of Technology 
Chair, APS User's Organization Steering Committee
 
Joshua Wood, Dynatrace, Inc.
