Alums Tour IIT Projects at Argonne
A group of alumni who have supported the sciences at IIT (Classes of 1949 to 1973) recently toured the university's BioCAT, MRCAT and SER-CAT beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. They learned about IIT research in disease, materials, energy and the environment, and they marveled at the power and precision of the beamlines. Several said they'd never been to Argonne but had always been curious about this large U.S. Department of Energy facility. "That was great fun," said Biology Professor Tom Irving, Director of IIT's Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation (CSRRI) and Director of BioCAT (Biophysics Collaborative Access Team). "They were clearly an appreciative audience." He co-hosted the event with Physics Professor Carlo Segre, Deputy Director of MRCAT (Materials Research Collaborative Access Team).
