Many of us felt that we had reached a \u0022critical mass\u0022 and an opportunity for joining forces and building a strong local community. The\u0026nbsp;Colloid \u0026amp; Soft Matter Bag Lunch Seminar\u0026nbsp;is part of our endeavor to provide a community forum, as is the semi-annual\u0026nbsp;Southeast Soft Materials Workshop.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Bag Lunch Seminars take place roughly once a month.
