Hello Everyone, Today the University of Queensland's Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) will be conducting two Live Electron Microscopy (CyberSTEM) sessions with remote schools in Queensland and both will be publically mirrored to the Asia Pacific Access Grid for the first time. Everyone is most welcome to join us!
CMM will be go on-line from the CMM's new JEOL 6460 LA Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and will mirror all the action to the Nanostructural Analysis Network Organisation's own AG virtual room (NANO) to ensure that our audio does not disrupt the wider AG community. We will not have our AG speakers on during the mirroring so as not to confuse our CyberSTEM participants but we will certainly watch for text messages in our Venues Server window if you wish to interact with us. TIME: 11:30am - 1:00pm (less than an hour from now!) ROOM: NANO Getting there: Enter Institutional Lobby from the General APAG Lobby ( https://vv2.ap-accessgrid.org:8000/Venues/default ) and you will then see the NANO room Audio: 233.2.178.18/17008 ttl=127 (rat) Video: 233.2.178.18/17018 ttl=127 (vic) DETAILS: At 11:30am we will collaborate with two schools in Bundaberg (Central Queensland Coast) then; At 12:15am we will collaborate with Ironside State School locally here in Brisbane. The sessions will be broadcast to a room in which the students will be able to talk with microscopists, teachers and facilitators via a conference phone and be able see us and the SEM images on the school data projector screen. Remote schools can also control one of the room cameras to discover a modern SEM laboratory. Telstra has kindly organised conference calls for all active participants. There will also be 3 selected Ironside SS students in the lab with us during the broadcast. We will spend about half of each session focussing on fireants and then will examine a small range of other samples e.g. lice, pin head and tip; Gecko foot, fruitfly maggot; human and dog hair etc. MORE INFO: http://www.uq.edu.au/nanoworld/online.html P.S. Don't forget Jason Bell's presentation (CQU) starts at 2:00pm in the APAG Lobby so you have a whole hour for lunch! :-) -- ************************************************************ Duncan Waddell (BSc) Principal Scientific Officer Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis The University of Queensland.
