<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Need some inspiration in creating new PH450 projects? Or maybe not enough time to come up with a new offer?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What about using some of the new kits we have in the teaching lab?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year we were lucky enough to be able to purchase several educational kits from ThorLabs. We think that some of these may make excellent PH450 projects and we are looking for colleagues to help supervise them. As they are existing
kits, we are confident that the experiments will work and might suit those who want to gain Supervision experience while being backed up by an academic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’d be interested in leading a project to trial these kits with a view to developing Schools Outreach/Public Engagement Activities, UG lab activities or even PGT activities, please contact me!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The kits include:<o:p></o:p></p>
