  1. Sponsorship for attendance at a Workshop.
  2. Donations to appropriate scientific and professional organizations.

Update (2/12/2011) - Minimizing Errors, Maximizing Quality - Seattle, Oct 2011

Our third Workshop was held at the beautiful Inn at the Market, Seattle, Washingtom on 21-22 October 2011.

This was a great workshop in a great location that offered a relaxed but effective learning environment both inside and outside the classroom. The Pike Place Market and surrounding area offered plenty of enjoyment during our breaks.

We had exclusively Physicists in attendance at this workshop and we had some very focused and extremely productive learning.

Evaluations completed by the Workshop participants yielded an average rating across all aspects of the Workshop of 4.7 out of 5.
