Exhibitor Presentation HORIBA Scientific 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm, Room 221 Experience the New Shape and SPEED of Things to Come in Fluorescence HORIBA Scientific is proud to introduce a revolutionary new fluo- rescence/UV-Vis spectrometer that advances beyond larger, slower, multi-step scanning fluorometers. The design consists of a harmonious blend of two spectroscopies, Fluorescence AND Absorbance, applied in a unique and patented way. The system combines a patented two-in-one fluorescence / UV-Vis spectrometer with an ultrafast CCD that acquires fluorescence spectra in the blink of an eye. It features a smaller, more elegant and ergonomic design than current fluorometers with a simple and unique interchange- able sampling arrangement. In addition to traditional fluorescence AND UV-Vis-NIR absorbance spectroscopy modalities, the new system features ultra-fast fluorescence Excitation Emission Matrices (EEMs), simultaneous absorbance allowing for extended linear dynamic range due to automatic inner filter effect corrections, and unique molecular fingerprinting capa- bilities not available on any other commercial fluorometer. The new instrument has a standard wavelength range from 200 to 1,100 nm and a scan speed of over 5,000,000 nm/min, allowing the system to go further into the NIR, and acquire data much faster than any competi- tive mid-market, bench-top spectrofluorometer. Beyond even all of these unique benefits, this new instrument is also much more sensitive than any other commercial bench-top spectrofluo- rometer. Just as the hardware and configuration are all new, so too is the software that runs the instrument. Running on the latest touch screen Windows operating systems, this newest generation of spectroscopy software offers dedicated apps-driven icons that simplify the user experience and the operation of the instrument. Researchers and students will easily be able to perform fluorescence, absorption or simultaneous fluorescence and absorbance measurements and applications without prior software training. Come see a presentation and demonstration of this exciting new instru- ment from the leaders in fluorescence!

Installing Apps from the OriginLab website. Speaker Chris Drozdowski, Technical Support, OriginLab Corporation Career Center Workshop The Strategic Postdoc: How to Find and Lever- age Your Postdoc Experience 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Room 212/213 Many PhDs just kind of fall in to a postdoc, rather than thinking about it from a strategic perspective. Your postdoc is never an end in itself; rather it’s a means to another end whether that goal is a faculty position at a re- search university, a small college, or perhaps a job in industry or govern- ment. Learn how to find postdoc opportunities that will best prepare you for that next step, and how to use your postdoc experience to facilitate the transition to your next position.
