Dear Colleagues -
As we move into the final weeks of summer, there are a few items we'd like to bring to your attention. Songlin Fei (FNR) is hosting a Digital Forestry Retreat next Monday, August 8, in which Purdue's vision for digital forestry will be presented and discussed. All are welcome to attend, more info below.
See below for a publication on neurological effects of PFOA from Jennifer Freeman (HSCI) and Chongli Yuan (ChemEng) along with several affiliates recently in the news. There are also a couple of opportunities for students/postdocs - please pass those along to anyone you feel may be interested.
Stay tuned later this week and early next week for big news about the new Institute! |
