MSDG Meeting January 29,2003

Wednesday, 1/29, @ 6:00pm at the PittCon offices in Penn Center

 

Attendees:  Amit Ghosh, Joe Grabowski, Kasi Somayajula, Manny Schreiber, Fu-mei Lin, Brian Walsh

 

• The meeting was opened noting that efforts to find a speaker for the Organic Class were unsuccessful, but that we had obtained an acceptance from Professor Barnes at Mass U. to give an ICPMS class on a Saturday in May.  The main topic of the meeting concerned the ICPMS class planned for May.   The advantages and disadvantages of having the class on a Saturday versus a weekday were reviewed.  Also, various options on location were discussed.  It was decided that we would try to arrange for a weekday class and look for a location in Oakland.
  

• We also discussed the possibility of having a general meeting in April where 10-15 minute presentations would be given by attendees on their current topic of interest.  This meeting would be held in the large conference at the Pittcon Office at Penn Center and would be open to all, up to the limit of the room, i. e. first 25.
  

• We scheduled the next MSDG meeting for February 19, 2003.
