Hello All,

This is Mac Hathaway, at the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems.  I'm 
writing to let you know about the*2012 NNIN ALD Symposium*, to be held 
on*Nov. 29-30, 2012*, at*Harvard University, in Cambridge, MA*.  Each of 
you is cordially invited to join us in Cambridge for this, the latest in 
a series of NNIN process workshops that have been held at various NNIN

We are currently planning a 2-day program at Harvard CNS which will 
consist of the following:

*Day 1*. (NNIN Staff only)  A one-day staff "current status" review of 
NNIN ALD systems and capabilities at the various NNIN sites, with plenty 
of time for informal "shop talk."

A ~1-2 hour*ALD User Seminar*, in which we plan to present a short 
review of the "day one" results, with a presentation one or two 
highlights of current staff work at NNIN sites, and then a Q&A session.


There will be no cost for this program, and it will be fully catered 
(breakfast and lunch).  Day One will be open to**NNIN staff only, and
