Joint Nano discussion on Tuesday to Mabe,
Harold Martin, Rob Nelson CC Lisa Adamson.
Hi everyone , We scheduled to discuss the
Joint Nanoscience and Nanoengineering
proposal Tuesday. I've attached the latest
version of the documents for your review.
Perhaps we can modify these to denote our
agreement on all these topics and then send
to the campuses for final sign off so that
funds can be released. Clearly we we can
