Re: [Phys-l] Fwd: NSF NanoTeach Pilot Test - Jan 8 Deadline

[Jack Uretsky <jlu@hep.anl.gov>]

	Hi all-
	Don Geesaman, head of our physics division, spoke at a colloquium 
on Friday on the subject of rare isotopes.  It seems that the coming 
decades are going to show an increasing demand for rare isotopes (produced 
with accelerators), and we are facing a probable shortage of manpower to 
satisfy the demand.  So here's another aspect of physics that needs 
additional support.
				Regards,
					Jack
