talk at Monash uni, VIC: phase transition in the Gibeon meteorite

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

For any Monash Uni (Clayton, Victoria) students or people in the area, the following seminar may be of interest.

Professor Jonas from McGill Uni, Canada is going to talk about his EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) studies of the microstructure of the Gibeon meteorite. This sort of work is a microscopic (atomic scale) study of the cosmic, which itself is an interesting thing to ponder. See details below.

Wow, wish I could go to that Steve. If you are going, maybe you could give us a little report of some sort? By the way, that rock looks uncannily like your avatar...

I'll have to see how much of it goes over my head. I'll see what I can do.

Yes, I guess it does. Didn't even occur to me!
