We are also compiling the many kind words that have been sent to us in recent weeks for presentation to his wife and family. Even if you are unable to attend the workshop, we invite you to record your own tributes and memories using the form posted on the symposium web page.
Symposium on "Opportunities in Neutron Powder Diffraction"
A Tribute to James D. Jorgensen (1948-2006)
Argonne National Laboratory
Saturday, December 9, 2006
We were all deeply saddened by the recent passing of Jim Jorgensen after a long battle with cancer. In his honor, we are organizing a Symposium on "Opportunities in Neutron Powder Diffraction", that will celebrate recent developments in a field to which Jim made so many seminal contributions. It will highlight progress in both science and instrumentation, with contributions from leading scientists and colleagues with whom Jim interacted as a scientist and as a person. We invite all those who want to celebrate his scientific achievements and discover their relevance to future research opportunities to attend.
Program
This is an all-day event, including morning and afternoon talks, and an evening banquet. Full details of the program are now on the web at <http://www.msd.anl.gov/groups/nxrs/workshop/>.
