MRL is a facility that brings in researchers and students from many different backgrounds. In the research environment, work and studies with nanomaterials is steadily growing. This workshop is for all involved with nanomaterial research to help educate them how to properly handle nanomaterials and how to protect themselves. Educating others is a promising way to help our MRL facility and other labs on campus stay a safe environment for research.
