The first DHS ARI IWAS workshop was held on April 28, 2022 teaching students how to deposit analyte on a substrate.
Workshop was held in the Q-042 laboratory area with graduate student Annette Colon as the main instructor, leader, and planner teaching the deposition techniques. Graduate students Maria Villareal, Melina Altamar, Tatiana Vegas, and Edwin Caballero assisted the main instructor teaching students and preparing the overall area.
