Dr. Tracy Caldwell Dyson, a former UCI postdoctoral scholar in chemistry (under AirUCI co-directors Barbara Finlayson-Pitts and John Hemminger), recently completed six months on the International Space Station. We're excited that she has agreed to return to UCI to give another public lecture in the Beckman Auditorium to share her experiences!
Here are articles written after the event from the Orange County Register and the ...
AirUCI PIs Sergey Nizkorodov and Eric Saltzman are organizing this conference in conjunction with the California Air Resources Board. The main goal of the event is to share scientific knowledge and foster collaborations between research communities and air pollution management agencies in Southern California.
Invited speakers include:
AirUCI's 7th annual science workshop will be held at the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach, California on January 19-20, 2010. Invited speakers and AirUCI researchers will give presentations on the latest findings in chemistry in the atmosphere and at interfaces.
