**Everyone Welcome**
Alumni Career Night was held on Fri. Dec. 2, 2016 at Mare Nostrum. Two of our former grad students, Aaron Rossini (B.Sc. 2005, Ph.D. 2010), who is currently an assistant professor at Iowa State University, and his wife Erin Norton (M.Sc. 2008), who is the Education and Outreach Coordinator at the Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute at Iowa State University, gave presentations on their career paths and life after UWindsor.
We hope you can join us for future alumni evenings!

Public lecture to shine light on x-ray crystallography
X-ray
crystallography can determine the arrangement of atoms in materials and
make three-dimensional pictures of molecules— more than 25 Nobel prizes
have been awarded on the basis of its use.
In honour of the centennial of the first Nobel prize awarded for this
remarkable tool, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has designated 2014 as the International
Year of Crystallography.
UWindsor chemistry professor Charles Macdonald will explain how X-ray
crystallography works and illustrate some highlights discovered using
this method in a free public lecture entitled “X-Ray Crystallography: A
Century of Exploring the World at the Atomic Scale,” at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, February 19, at Canada South Science City.
This amazing avenue of discovery underpins major advances in physics,
chemistry, material science, biology, medicine, engineering, and more.
Dr. Macdonald’s lecture is sponsored by the Faculty of Science as part
of the Science Café series, which offers discussion of important science research for the general public.
