An extensive program was arranged that included demonstrations from many LRSM graduate research groups. More than 30 MRSEC faculty, staff and students participated. In addition, a series of 11 talks and science demonstrations were presented, lecture style, by Penn and Drexel faculty together with a local science TV personality, Grand Hank. Over 1000 people participated in this outreach effort, which will now be repeated annually. LRSM demo of a DNA-wrapped carbon nanotube.
