On April 5,
2002 we held an open house to celebrate the successful
operation of the NanoSIMS, to introduce the instrument to
our colleagues and to thank all of those who have made the
acquisition possible. The event consisted of a brief
introduction into the history and the technical aspects of
the NanoSIMS, followed by tours of the laboratory with food
and drink. Among the invited VIPs were John F. McDonnell,
chairman of the University's Board of Trustees, Edward S.
Macias, executive vice chancellor and dean of Arts &
Sciences, Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton, and Chancellor
Emeritus William H. Danforth. The opening remarks were made
by Robert M. Walker and Roger J. Phillips, former and
current directors of the McDonnell Center for the Space
Sciences. A brief overview of why the NanoSIMS is such an
exciting new type of instrument was then given by Frank J.
Stadermann. The
Washington University newspaper "Record" had two articles
about this event that contain some more detailed
information:
The open house was attended by more than 100
people.
