Congratulations to Phil Woodruff on winning the Max-Born-Prize for 2011. The Max Born Prize is awarded jointly by the Institute of Physics and the Deutsche Physikalisched Gesellschaft (DPG). In even-numbered years it is awarded to a scientist working in Germany by the IoP and in odd-numbered years by the DPG to a scientist working in the UK. The presentation will take place at the DPG's 75th Annual Conference in Dresden in March next year. Phil will deliver an associated invited lecture at this meeting, and has also been contacted by the conference organisers about the schedule, but the conference programme is not yet published.

We will soon launch the call for mini-project proposals for the Systems Biology MSc students. There are 19 students this year and each student carries out one experimental biology project and one "dry" project.

The mini-projects are 12 weeks long, with the first one running from 21st March 2009 - 10th June 2010 and the second one from 13th June - 9th September 2010.

Ahead of this call, we are announcing the opportunity to give a short talk to the students to introduce your research area.

The IOP has just launched its conference fund for PhD students, providing financial support to research student members to attend international conferences and major national meetings.

Up to £250 can be applied for during the course of your PhD.

Research carried out by Jeremy Sloan, Neil Wilson and Priyanka Pandey has been recently published in the journal 'Nano Letters'. This work concerns the discovery of molecular hooks on the surface of Graphene Oxide,  which could provide massive benefits to researchers using transmission electron microscopes. For more information, please see this link
