Hello All: The Abstract Deadline has been extended for an additional 2 weeks until April 1, 2011, for oral presentations at the North American Core Shell Spectroscopy Conference to be held in conjunction with the 2011 Denver X-Ray Conference from August 1-5, 2011. http://www.dxcicdd.com/03/DXC_abstract.asp This conference is centrally located and an excellent opportunity for students and postdoctoral researchers to participate. This year, we are specifically interested in having presentations relating to 5f electron systems and catalysis. This conference is a great opportunity to meet with other practitioners of core-shell spectroscopy as well as a broader x-ray diffraction and fluorescence community. Carlo -- Carlo U.
