“Brunch with a Scientist” on 27 June: Mark Shirchenko, DLNP (JINR)

Twice a month, the Polytechnic Museum holds informal Sunday meetings with scientists in the best bars of Moscow. They speak about the most intriguing things at the cutting edge of science — what kind of research is performed at laboratories, what was discovered and what discoveries are going to be technologies. In May, the Deputy DLNP Director D. V. Naumov was invited to the Sunday brunch. This Sunday, questions of the host will be answered by Candidate of Physics and Mathematics, the chief DLNP researcher M. V. Shirchenko.

DLNP Express Workshops

Renovated express workshops have been opened on the ground floor of the DLNP building. This location of the workshops is traditional: from time immemorial, experimentalists made by themselves necessary components and devices here. Old-timers certainly remember both smell of lubricant and metal in the hallways and room shelves stuffed with all sorts of necessary and unnecessary spare parts, tools and devices.
