78 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH 2008 ANNUAL REPORT Education and Outreach A top priority for the Neutron Sciences organization is to educate scientists, students, and the general public about both the advances from past neutron scattering research and the limitless possibilities for the future. We hope to attract members of the science and engineering community to learn more about the capabilities of neutron scattering in general and about the available resources at HFIR and SNS in particular. To achieve these goals, our staff actively participate in the scientific community by taking part in or hosting conferences and workshops, by presenting educational information at local community meetings and events, and through many other activities. During the past year, our main educational and outreach activities included organizing (in conjunction with Argonne National Laboratory) the first National School on Neutron and X-Ray Scattering at SNS and HFIR, funding 5 postdoctoral fellowships, hosting 42 interns, and hosting or supporting 10 workshops. Other ongoing efforts include the following: ORNL NEUTRON SCIENCES neutrons.ornl.gov › Work with the Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences › Presentations at local universities, public schools, and civic meetings › Facility tours for special groups and the general public › Outreach materials such as publications, displays, and multimedia › The Neutron Sciences public Web site Serena Dai, Northwestern University, held an internship in the Communications Group.
Meetings and Workshops Planning and coordinating meetings and workshops is one of our most vital outreach activities. As usual, 2008 was a very busy year. Neutron Scattering Education Workshop Education efforts were highlighted by the workshop “Building a Network for Neutron Scattering Education,” held in March 2008. The goal of this workshop was to define and design a roadmap for a comprehensive neutron scattering education program in the United States. The workshop report is available at neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nse2008/WorkshopReport.pdf. Workshop participants developed recommendations for three audiences: the general public, scientists who do not currently use neutron scattering, and scientists who already use neutron scattering. For each audience, the participants developed goals, metrics, a description of the current status, gaps, and proposed actions. The proposed actions were partitioned into those that should be initiated now, those that should be initiated within a year, and those that are long term. Four primary actions were identified that have the highest priority for implementation: developing a neutronsources.org Web site, enhancing universitybased teaching, expanding neutron schools, and providing advanced software and virtual tools.
