Crystal successfully defended her PhD defense - a fitting end to the Oreology saga!

We are pleased to announce that the biannual Rheological Measurements Short Course at University of Minnesota, will be held from Aug 15-19. It will be in-person and the registrations are now open. Registration is limited, due to capacity constraints in our laboratory sessions. Please visit https://rheology.cems.umn.edu/ for more information. We are pleased to have Christian Clasen, Randy Ewoldt, Gerry Fuller and Gareth McKinley giving guest lectures along with Michelle Calabrese, Xiang Cheng, Barry Kudrowitz, Chris Macosko, Mahesh Mahanthappa, and David Morse from Minnesota.
