Nanoscience Energy Research and Development Symposium (NERDS 08)

This one day symposium featured SDSM&T faculty and students, and their collaborators from CSM, UNL, USD, NMT and NREL. The symposium provided a forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise in nano research focused on energy. The symposium was closed with dinner and a play performed at the Firehouse Dinner Theater, featuring a modernized version of Moliere's "The Doctor in Spite of Himself". A morning excursion to Harney peak on the following day met with over a foot of snow, but sunney skies.
