The new dates are November 30th and December 8th.  The time is different and will be 1 to 3 p.m.  They will provide wine and cheese at the conclusion of the tour.  They will have reserved parking spots for us and if you can car pool, it would help.  I'll put out lists of who is attending, so you can see if there is someone near to you.

There is one thing though, and I ask you to make my job easier by indicating your first and second choice of dates because again there is a limit of 20.  I'll try to accommodate you.

Graduates:  We have been given an incredible opportunity to tour the Center for Nanomedicine at UCSB at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 17th.  The tour will run a bit over two hours. 

This new center is a collaboration of two world renowned institutions, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and UCSB  bringing together the top-ranked biomedical research capabilities of SBMRI with the superb biomedical engineering of UCSB.  The Center is dedicated to engineering cures for human disease. 

Come and hear about some of their work such as "smart devices that diagnose, treat and cure disease before it can cause symptoms and spread".  We will tour the AlloSphere Building and as a bonus, they will serve lunch. 

It is important to note that we will be walking close to a mile during the tour.  This tour is limited to 20 people. 

This will fill up quickly and we anticipate scheduling a second tour.  Although they will reserve some parking spaces for us, it is best if we carpool.  If you are interested, email Florence Michel.
